His parents had hoped that time would heal their wounds, but now it was clear that it hadn’t. The boy’s mother tried to make it a sweet and optimistic story to comfort him, but even that didn’t make much sense. Tom walked out the front door with his head down and sat on the curb.

A huge brown dog crossed the street and stood in front of the crying boy. The animal barked twice and watched Tom, tongue rolling out, It was only after a. few minutes that he looked at it more closely.

The four-legged giant’s glassy eyes reminded him of cuddling by the fireplace and running between the sprinklers in the backyard. He knew the dog very well. It was Lynn!!!! Tom ran to his friend and wrapped his arms tightly around her neck. Lynn licked his cheeks and then walked to the edge of the woods.
Tom ran after Lynn and entered the woods.

He lost sight of her for a moment, but luckily soon heard his friend barking. And he finally saw it… Lynn grew up to be an adult dog and became a mother! In the ditch between their yard and the woods were three fluffy, sweet little puppies. Tom took Lynn and her offspring home and called his parents. They too were very happy to find Lynn and of course, decided to adopt the little dogs.

Tom has made a full recovery. He and his friend Lynn became best friends again and all negative feelings were gone. He became a smiling boy, just like before. After a few weeks, he was allowed to return to school. Now she’s doing great there. He gets good grades and has a small group of close friends.

They visit him almost every day. Of course, they want to see Tom, but at the same time, they all want to play with Lynn and her puppies.
