Once there was a big dog.
The dog scared people because it was so big. But the big dog was very nice.
One day a little girl who was afraid of the dog fell off her bike and hurt her arm. The dog came over to the girl and took care of her and every body liked the dog.
That is how the big dog became the big nice dog.

Great story Marshall! It’s important to realize that dogs might look big and scary but they all have huge loving hearts.
