WHO AM I

About the Book

UNWANTED First thing he remembered was it being dark and cold. He didn’t know where he was and he didn’t know how old. He didn’t have an address or a place that he called home. From as long as he remembered all he did was roam. He was bullied and shoved around almost every day when all he really wanted was just a place to stay. It seemed like everyone he met wanted to pick a fight when the only need he had was a place to sleep at night. Sometimes he was shouted at and told he was no good. He was told he wasn’t wanted in their fine neighborhood. They would call the authorities on any given day but he was getting street smart and would simply run away. He was not the only one who was treated in this way. There were many like him who just lived from day to day. When you’re a dog someone loves then everything seems ok but things are so much different when you are just a stray.
