Dog Trouble (telling a story using past simple and past perfect) Level 3b
I had seen this cute little dog hanging out near my home at lunch time 2 days ago. Having finished teaching, early in the evening, I came back to find her still there. When I asked my neighbor whose dog it was, I got the full story.
Somebody had dumped her in the morning outside Tesco Lotus, the poor thing, and a lady, who feeds the temple dogs, saw her and felt sorry for her. She brought her up to where I live, thinking somebody might look after her here.
I'm not a big dog lover, but she seemed to take to me, and I shared my pizza and some milk with her. She's only a puppy and it's not nice to be thrown away like a piece of garbage.
Now she stays with me and barks at all the strangers who turn up. I haven't thought of a name for her - some people think Lotus would be a good name - and I don't know what kind of dog she is (maybe you can help me), but she seems happy now. So, we'll start from there.
