Stuffed Dog

 its own spot on the couch so it could see. Whether it was, How to Train Your Dragon or Lord of the Rings, I would watch it with it. Scary movies weren't as scary when I had it. I would read my books out loud to it, even at night when I was not supposed to be awake. This dog has been with me throughout my highs and lows, it has heard me complain and talk about almost anything. I’ve had a little black lab stuffed dog with a red bandana since I was little. It was given to me by my grandparents for Christmas. I had been asking for a stuffed dog for a while so my grandparents got me this one.  Whenever I missed my friends from my old school, or I just had a nightmare, or I was just having a bad day it was always there to help me feel better. I bring it on every trip me and my family go on, overseas or just to the next state over. It went with me to sleepovers, National parks, visiting family, anywhere. I’ve always loved dogs but never been able to have one, having a stuffed dog is the closest thing to having a dog. I used to bring it down stairs to watch movies with it. I would hold it up or give.
