A year ago I was really interested in watching Evil Death (a horror movie), but I wasn’t been able to watch it. Finally one evening I watched it. I was not scared while watching it, but as soon as the movie ended, I remembered the ghost and then I started getting afraid. I got sacred even to walk to my room. I managed to go to my room and went to bed early that night. I was trying to sleep but couldn’t cause as I kept remembering the ghost.

While I was trying to get rid of these scary thoughts, suddenly I heard a sound that was coming closer and closer.

I got so sacred that I ducked under my blanket. I felt something being put on my stomach, and then something walked around my bed. I couldn’t make out what it was. Only

Evil Death was whirling around in my head. I could still feel something walking and even heard someone crying.

I shivered in fright and tried to crouch into a ball under the blanket. After a few minutes, the sound ceased and so I gathered my courage to find out what was going on. I peeped from under my blanket and found my dog Chunky looking up at me lovingly. But I could still fell something on my stomach. I was still scared.

Chunky was a great support and I dared to lift my blanket slowly, and amazingly I found a new born puppy on my blanket. Chunky had given birth and she had brought the puppy to my bed.

I carried that puppy to Chunky’s kennel. As I waited for Chunky to deliver more puppies, I wondered how she had come to me? Then I remembered telling her that when she gives birth to her first baby, I should be the first one to look at it. She had understood that and to fulfill my wish she had come to me with her very first baby.

She gave birth to two more puppies. I had heard that pets understand their master’s language and feelings, but I had never believed it.

But now I believe that pets really understand our feelings. Nowadays I always speak to her and at times she answers me lovingly.
