Gonzo

Gonzo and I at the Laguna Beach Fire Station

Hi, my name is Takeru. This will be about my hero. That person or animal is my dog Gonzo. He is a Dalmatian that is really big for a Dalmatian, but he is still handsome and very nice (kids love him).

First of all, when I'm sad or when I have any kind of feeling like that, he is always there for me. He also entertains me by tracking down something with a trail of dog food. He also plays with me a lot.

Gonzo is always there for me: in the house, in the car, anywhere (not inside theme parks and places like that, though).

Gonzo is also there any time. He plays with me if it's daytime. If it is nighttime, he walks over to my room and wakes me up (it's sometimes a little tiring).

Gonzo is always there for me because he is a part of my family. I love him and he loves me so he never gets mad. It is also obvious that he is my pet.

But then on April 5th of 2005, he passed away, so I skipped school and I was crying all week (I still cry a lot).

So you can see that my dog is still very special and I still think about him every day. My mom said that even if you can't feel or see him, he only really dies when you forget about him.
