I’m in front of my house. The main door is open .Inside my house were blood marks all over the wall. I see my dog, Clifford laying down in front of the staircase . How do you think all this happened? Lets go back to the beginning and answer the question .

It was January 11th in India. Tomorrow was my birthday! I was so excited to know what my mom is going to gift me on my birthday. At 5:00 pm in the evening, I went out with my sister to invite my friends to my 11th birthday party. I took a paper and a pen and wrote down all my friends names on the piece of paper. We went to every single friend’s house which was on the list. It was 10:00 pm in the night, when we came back. I felt like we ran a marathon which was 11mi .

I changed my clothes and hit the the bed . I started dreaming about what gift I am going to get. then a remote control car came into my mind and it started saying, “ Rudy wake up! Its your birthday!” I woke up with a confused mind. It was actually my mom who was trying to wake me up. “Its my birthday! Its my birthday!” I shouted running around the house as soon as I woke up. I ran to the restroom , brushed my teeth , had my bath and wore my new birthday clothes and sat for Pooja ( time to worship the God ). As soon as I was done with my Pooja, I had my breakfast and asked my mom, “What are we going to do today? “ My mom said, “ Since it is your birthday , you can do whatever you want !”. When she said there was only one thing that came into my mind, TELEVISION! I grabbed my foot long Subway(which was supposed for yesterday’s dinner), took my favorite soft pillow, ran to the television and switched it on. I was right on time for my favorite TV show, PHINEAS AND FERB! After I was done with my watching television, I felt like I only watched for 30 minutes but actually I watched for 5 hours! It was almost time for my birthday party. I was so excited that not even the letter P from patience was in mind. My parents and my grand parents were busy decorating the party hall. I was waiting for my friends to come to the party. After 10 minutes, my friends started coming one by one to the party. I was so happy that it was time for party. I played with my friends so much. Soon it was time to cut the cake and open the presents. The design on my cake was Phineas and Ferb building a water slide. I cut the cake and everybody started singing the birthday song. I felt like it was the best day of my life ! As usually, my dad tried to put some cake on my face but I escaped it and the cake smashed my dad’s face.

As soon as the cake cutting part was over, I ran to the presents and started opening them . They were like, a nerf gun, a box of Yugioh cards, some video games, a remote control car and many more ! The final present was from my parents and my grandparents. The box was too heavy and it started moving on its own ! I did take too much time thinking what it could be as it was heavy . I opened the box and it was a dog!!!!!! I was so happy that the rest of the party I only played with my dog and not my friends which was very rude of me but I could not help. I named my dog, Clifford.

Months passed away. Everyday I used to wait for the school to get over so that I could go with Clifford for a walk . Every day when the school was over, I used to be the first one to go to home as i used sprint the way. Whenever I was home, Clifford used to wait for me in front of the main door which was so cute of him . It was friday when my family and me had to go the mall to get some groceries and some other stuff. In that mall, dogs were not allowed and i had to leave clifford home as he was scared of everybody in the neighborhood. We were in the mall which until 9:30 pm in the night .A robber was passing by and saw our house he tried to go inside but the gate was locked . then the robber jumped over the gate and was in front of the main door. he opened the door because my mom forgot to lock the door! As soon as he opened the door, Clifford bounced on the robber because he thought it was me. The robber got scared and took out a pocket knife and stabbed Clifford from the back and threw him in front of the staircase. the blood marks were all on the wall. The robber went inside, took some jewellery, kept it in a bag . When he went outside my house, they were sheriff waiting for the robber. Do you want to know how did the sheriff get to know about this do you want to know how I got to know? Basically there is a neighbor whom we trust a lot and whenever we go outside we our home keys to them. So they saw somebody in our house with a black mask to cover his face. then she complained to the sheriff . When we came home I got to know that Clifford is no longer alive. thats why dad still refuses to get another dog. But though nobody can beat Clifford.
