Question

When buster was brought into the animals' home, he was wet and smelly. But Jimmy who worked there know what soap and water and a good brushing could do.

After a bath, Jimmy put Buster in a cage and gave him some food and fresh water.

Buster wanted a home. He wanted a family. He wanted a yard. Most of all, he wanted someone to love him.

A man came over to the cage. Buster curled up on his blanket and closed eyes. “He’s no fun,” said the man. “He’s too quiet.”

A family came along. Buster barked and barked, so they would notice him. “ He’s too noisy,” said the mother. They all walked away.

Other people passed by.

“Too furry.”

“TOO bony.”

“Don’t give up,” Jimmy said to Buster. “Someone will want you.”

Another family asked Jimmy to take Buster out of the cage. “He’s too big,” said the mother. “He might scare the baby.”

The next family came along. “He’s too small,” said the father. “He wouldn’t be a good watchdog.”

“Sorry, Buster,” said Jimmy.

At the end of the day, another family came along-a mother, father, and a boy. Buster didn’t try to book big or small. He didn’t worry about looking furry or bony. He was just plain Buster, an ordinary, brown, medium-sized dog.

The boy looked in to Buster’s brown eyes. Buster looked into the boy’s blue eyes. “Look, Mom,” he said. “This dog is just the right size for me.”

Buster went home to a family and a yard. Best of all, He went home with someone who loved him just the way he was- an ordinary, brown, medium-sized dog.
