"here's the dinning room,But were not allowed in here,but over here is the Den,were we are allowed."Jake said.Fanily they finnished the tour of the house."Now the last place I want to show you was my place,but now it's our place so I saved it for last."Jake said.They walked outside to a fenced place with alot of toys and bones and food bowls with two huge dog houses.The curled up in them and slept the rest of the day.

Oh Griffin loved living there.Sooooooo many months had passed,Jake was his best friend.But he never felt that he had "everything"even thogught he was rich and  wealthy he missed somthing but diddn't know what.That night Griffin and Jake were asleep when Griffin had a dream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

dream:

Griffin ran thought the freash air of the hills feeling every breeze of wind that hit him.It wistled throught his fur coat and brushed his back.He stopped,for he was to tierd to go anymore,so he rolled down the hill landing in the soft grass.He watched the clouds as they passed by.The birds singing there song.He stood up hight when a rope was tossed over his neck.He growled and bit the rope but another caught his left fore paw as the jumped up.Ropes were throught this way and that.Making him toss and turn to the ground.He was thrown into a dull cage.The lights turned of around him.He knew he had to be out there!Free!Running!Then he woke up

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was still dark outside.Griffin pushed box after box to the fence.He hoped onto the first on when Jake walked around to the fence."Griffin!What are you doing!?!"He wispered."Going where I belong."He smiled jumping to the next box."WAIT!"Jake shouted.Griffin turned his head."Can I go with you,your my best friend I'd hate to loose you."He smiled."C'mon then"Griffin laughed.He helped Jake climb onto the boxes.They jumped off the last on landing on the other side of the fence."Freedom!"They laughed and ran.

They walked and walked till it was daylight outside."OOOHHH I'm Soooooooooo hungery."Jake moand."Ughhhhh me too."Griffin said."I have an idea!Lets hunt down a rabbit!"Griffin barked.They raced into the woods.Griffin's collor got stuck in a branch."I'm stuck!"He shouted to Jake."Here."Jake said and knawed his collor off.Griffin Smiled."thanks."He smiled.They walked deeper into the forest."Griffin...Somthing dosn't feel right...we should turn back."Jake said."No wait I see one!"Griffin barked.He got ready to pounce."No dude...somthings up...I mean it!"Jake wispered."But we both know were hungry,this will only take a second."Griffin said and shot out off the bush behind the rabbit.Then all of a sudden POW!A gun shot rang out throught the forest.Griffin felt a sharp wave of oblizious pain shocked his shoulder.He was knocked over and rolled onto the ground."AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!"He howled.Jake ran out to him.A man from behind a tree ran up.He saw Jake's collor and dropped his gun."OH GOD THAT WAS A DOG!"He yelled.He was thinking he had shot a wolf so ran up to them.Griffin panted.Jake barked and howled.Griffin looked at his badly shot-up shoulder.There was a hole and blood splattered everywhere around it.There was also blood on the ground from were he had fell.The hunter looked at Jake's collor and noticed Griffin diddn't have one.Griffin was so scared he passed out on the ground.

The next thing he knew he was at the vet.His shoulder was numb.He looked over to see it wrapped tightly over and over again was a long bandage with blood stains.He was in a metal cage with a small towl.He looked out to Jake who was standing on a tabble in the middle if the room.The vet was on the phone."Yes mam we have found your dog."He said.they talked awhile then hung up.he looked at Jake."Your owners comming tomarro."He said and walked off.Griffin knew he had lost another home.Jake was leaving...but he was staying.

Jake left the next day as planned.Days past and Griffin's shoulder healed."Boy,nobody has claimed you so your goinng to the pound."He said.Griffin diddn't know what the pound was but he knew if it had a name like "Pound" it must be awful.The next day he found himself in a concret cage with a chain linked door.Other dogs and cages were beside and across from him.Then a large man with a mustahce walked in.Griffin diddn't like humans that much but he couldn't say that about the other dogs.All of them jumped on the cain door and howled and barked as much as they could.The man took a dog left."No!Oh why not me?"The other dogs groaned."Why do you want to live with a human so bad?"Griffin asked."Because if we dont get a home,we go to doggie heaven."A large dog close by growled."What do ya mean?"Griffin asked."Uh,dude If no one wants us...they kill us."He snarled.The word made Griffin have a cold feeling.Kill.Another man walked in.All the dogs,Includog Griffin,Barked and jumped.The man had scars on his face and wore gloves and big boots.He looked at the dogs."What kind you got her,Any boxers or pitbulls?"He asked one of the pound workers."EEhhhh......no,but we have a few mutts that we don't know the breeds,you can look at them."He said.

"Fine,I'll look at the biggest first."He said.Of course Griffin was a large dog so he was one of the first.Griffin got a good look at the man.He didn't like him.The man looked at Griffin.He did.He finnished looking at all the dogs."Okay I'll take that one,that one,that one,that one,that one and those two."He said pointing at the dogs."There all mutts so I figured they'll be cheap.He laughed.He handed him the money.The dogs,Griffin too,were put in bar cages,then loaded onto a truck.The truck started and they left the pound.

It was dark when the truck stopped.It was parked on a dirt road."Greg,help me get thess dogs in the stabels."He man yelled.Griffin looked out and saw alot of long sheds.They each were filled woth straw and hay and had one hall and lined up were two rows of what looked like stabels of donkeys[they were to small and short for horses].But as his cage was carried closer he noticed each stable held a dog and food and water bowls.Many fogs were bleeding and scared.Fanily they reached an end that had hardly any dogs in the stabels.The men put the dogs from the pound into one.Griffin was put into the last one at the end on the right.

Two dogs were hauled out of there stales and into the biggest stable a few yards away.All the other men ran there too.They made a circle but all Griffin could see were shadows.Then he heard a slamming sound.He listend closer.Then"RRRararararagegegeheharraaaaaa!!!!!!!!!Awwrrroo arewt arewt."He knew two dogs were figting but the sound was soon drowned out by the shouts of exitment at the crowd.An hour later a man came through with a bloody dog with his head held high.He was locked back onto the stall.Griffin could barly see the other dog throught the dark,limping with another man taking him to another barn close by.

Match after match all throught the night.Griffin listened at watched the dogs go back and forth but not seeing the fight,for it was at a differnt barn.Then the man from the pound put a rope around Griffin."NO!"He barked.He was seeing the fight...because he was going to be in it!He was draged from on the ground to the next barn.He saw alot of men holding large wooden walls in a cricle.Griffin looked in and saw the two dogs fighting.Blood was splatterd on the wood and ground.But the dog's coats were smuthered in blood.Griffin was more scared than he ever had been before.Then one dog pinned the other until he refused to fight."FINNISHED!"One man said and broke up the dogs.Then he shouted winner and the dog's name.The man took the rope off of Griffin and pushed him into the circle.On the oposite side another dog was pushed in.Griffin diddint want to fight and the dogs just stood.One man started throing rocks witch set off the other dog and he ran twards Griffin.Tried to dogde but the other dog grabbed his leg.In surprise Griffin took the other dogs leg and jerked it back.The dog fell.Griffin got up when he takled him.He pushed him off with his feet,and got up.The other dog lunged at Griffin and His Jaws clanched onto his shoulder.Blood glushed.Griffin twisted back and headbutted the dog in the ribs sending him a few feet back.The dog wound'nt give up and ran back so Griffin took him under his jaw and flipped him completly over.He pinned him."FINNISH!"The man yelled.Griffin howled.It felt good.

He did this all night long.He barly won the last fight.He was too tierd and couldn't fight anymore."C'mon boy Your next match,It's for 1 grand so you'd better win!!!!"He snarled.Griffin panted.The man took the rope to put onto Griffin's head,but he moved back and growled."Stupid human,Don't you see I can't fight?!?"He growled.Humans can't understand dogs so he went closer."STOP!LET ME REST!I'M WARNING YOU!"Griffin snapped.The man came closer still."FINE THEN!"Griffin barked and snapped onto the man's hand."RRAAAGGGAAARRR"He screamed and slapped Griffin across his face,sending him to the door.He raced out,faster than ever."STOP THAT DOG!HE'S GUNNA MAKE ME RICH!"The man yelled,but nobody could catch him.

Griffin ran throught the woods and diddn't stop until the got to a town called nome,not too far off.He looked up.The sun was starting to come up.Mornig.He walked throught the town when he heard thunder.He looked up.Rain clouds followed him.'Oh no I need shelter!"He yelled.He looked down the street and behind every house.He couldn't find anything.Then,Behind one house was a small shed.He reconized waht it was because his box was made in one.But when he got closer he relized it was abandoned.The bottem droped all at once and it started to pour rain.He was able to crawl up under the door,witch the bottem was cracked.When he got inside,he looked outside the cracks of the door and saw the rain pour hard.There was but just one tiny window close to the top that let in alittle light,but just enough to see around.The floor of the shed was just dirt,no wood or anything.He noticed that by the door was a stack of straw.He moved to the back and saw a small fire place with fire wood close by.The looked around the fire place and saw a huge box of matches that had been opned but not used.The shed was warm but he was wet from the rain so dicided to make a small fire.He put three small chunces of the fire wood in the fire place then took a match and lit it carfully.The shed was far off from the houses so no one could see the fire."Ahhh...home."He smiled and fell asleep close to the fire,happy.
