Hi! I am Daisy. I am a street dog. I am thinking about my life before because my life currently is very different. For as long as I can remember, I was in a pet shop with my other friends, locked up in a cage. Even though I did not have freedom, I still tried to live my best life, so I was very happy when a family came and adopted me. I was finally free from the cage, which felt like a jail. At the moment the family took me out of the cage, I was 2 weeks old and also very confused, yet curious to know what was happening. I did not know if I should be happy that I was free or sad that I had to leave all my friends and family. Before I knew it, I was handed over to my new owner, and my life changed overnight. Soon I was inside a car, and we were going somewhere. I was taken to a house. I thought I was just being taken to a bigger cage. The girl who adopted me took really good care of me; she gave me food to eat, toys to play with, and also some accessories to decorate me with. I had very fluffy and clean fur, which everyone loved. Every day, my owner would play with me and occasionally bring her friends. Even though I was loved and taken care of, I still felt like I was in prison. Who knew my wish was going to come true? After a few days, my owner found out that she was allergic to me, and I had to be given away to another family. I was really sad to leave them, and my new family just left me out on the streets. Well, I was finally free. For a few days, I enjoyed it, but then I had to starve myself because no one gave me any food. I was not alone there; there were other street dogs as well. I looked very dirty. Then I finally realised that not everyone can have a rich life. We all have problems. Now, I often wander around by myself. I am not being accepted into the pet shop I came from due to the way I looked. I really miss my family and friends and wonder how they are doing.
