A True Dog Story

This is a true story.

My mother told it to me.

When Earl was a little baby, his father had a dog.

Earl used to run away from home.

One day he went down to the railroad tracks.

The dog saw him and followed.

Later, the dog walked ahead of Earl.

Earl did not know the way home.

So the dog showed him the way home.

Earl followed the dog and so found the way home again.
