The Tale of A Dog Who Hates the Rain

Warning: The following story is 73.29% adapted from a real life story of a dog.  Names have been changed to protect the identity of the individuals  involved. The story is purely for entertainment and unintended to hurt,  malign or ridicule anyone,or any dogs. 


Once  upon a time, a beautiful female maltese gave birth to 2 chubby male  pups. The 3 of them lived together happily, spending their time staring  at each other, and making  funny faces. The mother will lovingly  dedicate hours every day just to feed milk to the two of them.

Gradually,  the 2 pups grew up strong and happy, learning to look sweet and  innocent while peeing discretely. One of the pups, whose name was Bun,  loved to play catching with the mother. He was a carefree, happy,  curious little thing embodied in a round, fat, huge ball of white fur.

But the happy times were not to last.

One  night, it began to rain heavily. There was a raging thunderstorm  outside. But happy Bun was not afraid with his mother and brother  sleeping peacefully beside him in the large cosy barn.Suddenly, the barn  doors were forcefully thrown open, and a man Bun had only seen a few  times stepped in from the rain. 

Swiftly,  he headed towards the three of them huddled together. Bun looked at his  mother, puzzled. Yet, he saw on his mother's face was a look of painful  realisation, or a familiar routine fear.What was going on?

With powerful hands,the man scooped up Bun and his brother. Their mother gave a shrill yelp,and  tried to follow the man but the man had quickly gone through the door,  and closed it, separating them from their mother. That was to be the  last little Bun and his brother would see their mother.

Bun  barked furiously, trying to get the man to bring them back to their  mother. But the man did not care. It must be that awful loud thunder and  he can't hear me, thought poor Bun.The rain was dripping all over Bun  and his brother, and it became increasingly colder.By now, Bun was very  afraid. Why did the thunderstorm have to send the man here to take away  them away from their mother?

The  barn quickly became a distant sight, and Bun looked around frantically  for help.The man had carried them through the door of a house where it  was warm and quiet.Bun looked around again.What was that he saw? No, Bun  told himself, it was not time to think about having abit of cheese he  saw on the table. Looking out the window, he saw some mynahs perched  there. With their ugly screeching, they were cruel and unwilling to help  Bun. Bad mynahs!

That  night, Bun fell asleep quickly in a corner of the house. After that,  one afternoon, a family of humans, with a particularly beautiful and  caring girl, came to see Bun. They took him home with them. Finally, Bun  felt more at peace with himself as he settled comfortably in that  loving household,keeping ants as his pets and occasionally try to seek  revenge upon the bad mynahs. But he never forgot his mother's teaching  on the proper way to pee and the appropriate mannerisms of any dog with  a decent upbringing on how to earn pat points. He remembered also how  evil the thunderstorm can be and whenever there was one, with his  compact yet loud lungs, he would bravely try to scare the nasty  thunderstorm away,so that he could protect this household he has come to  call home.

The End.
