So I walked through the store nothing really caught my eye until I saw two Boston Terriers. They were two brothers and one of the boys was sleeping in a corner and the other was romping around barking. Ever since I was little I said that I didn't want a dog because they were too wild. But the little one sleeping was so calm. I asked if I the people would take the pup out for me to play with. I held the scared shaking, sleepy pup. I just rocked him and stroked his little head. I fell instantly in love and I knew I wouldn't be able to put him back in his cage and walk away. So I bought the little fellar. They brought him out in a little yellow bandana and I bought him a yellow collar and leash. I carried him out to the car and he fell asleep in my lap as I drove, just like my old tabby cat did, Oscar. Oscar had broughten me so much joy, and so was this puppy so far. So I decided to name him after my beloved cat, Oscar. Bio: Oscar is special because he helps troubled children. Every Tuesday, I bring Oscar into a learning disabled center for children and it is wonderful to see the children's faces brighten when they see my puppy come in. Oscar lets the children talk to him. And he actually does listen. It really helps the kids. I've Been On Dogster Since:
