Christina took the pen and wrote… Grant took the pen back and wrote As the kids giggled, they relaxed until they felt Papa swerve the car left and right on the Colonial Parkway. Mimi screamed! Grant and Christina held each other tight as the car tires screeched to a halt. “What is it, Papa? What’s wrong?” Christina begged. Papa sighed. He turned on the car’s flasher lights and got out. “I think I might have hit a dog.” 99
“Oh, no!” said Christina. She and Mimi and Grant craned their necks to see out the car windows. Papa walked in front of the car to the side of the road. He bent over and they all expected the worst. But suddenly, a brown blur scrambled out of Papa’s hands and began to jump up and down on the side of the road. “Look!” said Christina. “It’s a puppy. It’s ok!” “It’s so cute,” said Mimi. “Thank goodness we didn’t hit it.” Outside, Papa scooped up the little dog and got back into the car. “Doggone dog!” he said. “He will get run over for sure if he stays out here. He’s just a pup and doesn’t know this road is hazardous to his health.” “CAN WE KEEP HIM?! CAN WE KEEP HIM?!!” Christina and Grant squealed together. “NO!” said Papa. “NO!” said Mimi. “But why not?” Christina asked, about to cry. She loved puppies. “He doesn’t belong to anyone,” said Grant, hopefully. “How do you know that?” asked Mimi, puzzled. 100
