I have never in my life ever seen an animal or a thing be as dependent on food as my dog, Rex. He will sacrifice his life for food and believe me he has already proven that theory by surviving a blow from a truck just so he could lick up the rest of an old cupcake in the middle of the road, while ongoing traffic is taking place.

Rex can chew through anything he puts his mind to including, two phones, four pairs of shoes, part of my couch, some plastic, and even a spray paint can. Now I don’t know if he is looking for a laugh or a smack in the face when he decides to enter a room, running into things and barging over people just so he can get the last cracker on a cheese platter, or if he’s just plain stupid. My family and I thought there was something clinically wrong with this dog so we took him to see a dog trainer, but that didn’t even work. He is permanently banned from “PetSmart.” How can an animal be banned from a “PetSmart?” Then I realized how he urinated on the trainer’s leg in a matter of 45 seconds and Rex stormed out of the room like he had somewhere else to be, running through the door and into a fish tank,.

Even though he acts like a complete idiot, I can’t help but laugh because that very same dog waits for me everyday at 4:17 when I get off my bus at the top of my street. It’s like he has some instinct to be there at that specific time just to walk me back to my house. That very same canine sleeps at the foot of my bed protecting me at night, then wakes me up for school in the morning with a lick to my face. He may be rude and reckless but he’s my dog, I wouldn’t want any other. So next time I see him doing something bad, I’ll remember to give him a ten second head start before I come running after that no good, very bad, reckless dog.
