Lucky: the Lost Beagle

The theme of this story is a brown beagle puppy with a blocky head, large ears, a curved-up tail and white pawns. I proudly mamed that gorgeous pooch: Lucky...the hound that loves to smooch! I was asleep, cuddled up in a warm blanket... when I hear the bark of a dog, and as the howl increased, the wind whipped the iced window; and hurriendly went down stairs, without putting my slippers on, so curious to know where that high-pitched bark came from. When the door slammed open, there surprisingly, I saw a stranded, shivering beagle stucked in snow: staring at me with innocent puppy eyes, and I could tell he was hungry and cold; he tried to lift his frozen and stiff paws, but he couldn't... a quiver of sympathy gave me goose-bumps! I picked him up and brought him in, and he started to lick my face to thank me, so affectionate and loving was that expression, which I reminisce quite often, going back to that winter's evening. I laid him in a small crate with a thick blanket, and he went to sleep; how calm and happy was he, lightly snoring and dreaming! The next day I took him to the nearest Animal Hospital, and they gave him a warm bath, and how he loved that! Yes, the beagle was out of danger and he was healthy, like he was before he got lost and couldn't find his way home, and since He had no tag on his collar, he couldn't be identified by name; I wanted to keep this beautiful dog so badly...the playful dog I called Lucky!
