My dog makes my life so much happier and funny when I am with him. His name is Max but most of my family and all of my friends call him Scoobs because he looks like the dog from Scooby Doo and is also the dog from Sandlot : a mastiff. Scoobs is probably the most stubborn dog there is because he sometimes doesn’t like to listen but after a while he always comes around to it. My dog is definitely just the greatest joy I have in my life because who else is going to be wagging their tail and jumping from excitement every time you get home. It feels really amazing knowing, even on a long day, that someone will be really excited to see you and it also really helps after a long day to have that joy in your life. Scoobs is also so special to me because he’s always there for me whenever I’m feeling sick, bored, or lonely. He’s always there either laying down next to me or stuffing his slobbery toy or stuffed animal to play.
After he was done with his business, we were walking very slowly, and he just decided he was going to sit down and not get up.
A special story of Scoobs and I is when one day I was in a huge rush to get to hockey in the summer and he didn’t really care. I had to take him outside to do his business on a very hot day with zero breeze outside so it was pretty hard to be outside. After he was done with his business, we were walking very slowly, and he just decided he was going to sit down and not get up. My dog is around one hundred and seventy pounds so once he sits down, there is no way of getting him up. Remember I said that Scoobs was very stubborn! So obviously I was in a rush and he just wasn’t getting up and I was trying to get treats and trying tricks like that and he wasn’t budging. I was trying everything I could think of to get him inside and I couldn’t. I was also freaking out because I was in a huge rush and I couldn’t be late.
He was just enjoying having a good time while I was freaking out. Then after like fifteen minutes of trying to get him in I thought of an idea. What if I just walk inside the house and leave him alone because Scoobs can’t be alone at all. He then ran to the door and I ended up getting him in the house. I felt so dumb that I couldn’t think of that at first but at thet point, i was just happy that I had got him in the house. He was just chilling out relaxing out there and I had thought it was the funniest thing afterm, but not in the moment. In the moment I was extremely annoyed and losing my patience with him.
At the end of every day, he is the first person to ever greet me and say hi to me. It always makes my day seeing him and he has no clue what he does for me. He is definitely the most goofy dog I will ever have. He has huge jowls so whenever he drinks water, you have to run to wipe his mouth or he will wipe it either all over the floor, wall, or you. He is also so sweet, only to the people he knows because every single person, dog, or cat that walks by our house, he goes berserk barking at them. He loves us so much and he always shows by giving me his paw all the time, coming up and cuddling with me, or “protecting” me from people walking by or people working on the house next door. I will always be thankful for Scoobs for everything he does for me and even though he doesn’t know it, it doesn’t bother me because he knows he is extremely loved by my family and I.
This was a pretty recent essay and I really enjoyed writing it. This story about my dog is so painfully true and there language I used describes that annoyance. Something that I could’ve done better is to describe more how big my dog really is and make it like you’re right next to him.
I really like this essay, you can tell the kind of love you hold for your dog just reading into one paragraph. I like that I can feel your personality throughout your writing which helps builds the essay to be interesting on a different level.
