Jolly the Good Friend (Inspired By True Events)

It all started on a sunny afternoon while precious’s mother was taking a shower she left little Precious(her baby girl) on the couch unknowing to her little Precious, the good manoeuverer had crawled out of her room to the living room and was heading straight for the swimming pool There came Jolly (her little dog) her good buddy her trusted soldier and little friend as he wagged his tail in a hot pursuit running to save little Precious from her eager self Horizontally and vertically blocking and hindering little Precious as she headed for the danger zone little Jolly barked out loudly-severely looking very worried as he moved around sideways and in circles delaying, obstructing -preventing little Precious who was innocently persistent on a mission to the swimming pool He ran quickly into the house "to raise an alarm"-to deliver the news barking persistently in front of her room unconvinced that she got his attention he hastily manipulated his way using his teeth to unlock his way through as he swung his neck in a hurry he ran inside as quickly as possible not losing sight of little Precious's movements (he ran back and forth, between precious mother's room and the swimming pool) he barked loudly as he stood in front of her bathroom door and also denied little Precious access into the swimming pool scratching his claws against her bathroom door desperately trying to get her attention at all cost The bathroom door was unlocked as Precious’s mother‘s suspicion reached its peak Jolly quickly bit her by the towel and dragged her to the scene(Unknowing to the mother she struggled with little Jolly to let go of her towel) little Jolly ran as fast as he could to make the final block as little Precious was about making her last move into the pool She rushed to deliver a warm tight hug to both little Precious and little Jolly as she carried both of them in her arms she danced around with mixed feelings in appreciation of little Jolly's efforts as tears of joy streamed down her cheeks.
