Chance

I have the best dog in the entire world. I'm not just saying that because he's my dogs, its really true. We got my dog, Chance, when I was 5. He is turning 13 very soon, June 6th. He is  Flat Coat Retriever mix, with what, we don't know. Chance was a rescue dog from the humane society, he was abused and abandoned. We walked in the dog kennel, and all the dogs went crazy jumping on the fences, barking. Then we got to this one dog, sitting still in front of the fence. We took one look at him and that was it. The people there said he wasn't a friendly dog towards kids so we said to put him in a room to see what he would do with us. We got in the room and he was absolutely perfect with us. My parents signed the papers and we could pick him up in a few days. We went home so excited that day and had a family meeting on what his name was going to be. We all put names into a hat and my mom randomly drew one. But the catch was that the name had to be meaningful. She pulled out "Chance." my mom choose that name because she said that we gave him a chance when someone abandoned him and he gave us a chance too. It was a perfect fit. Chance has been my best friend and older brother for quite some time now and he means the world to me and then some. I love chance with all of my heart, he was definitely the best Christmas present I've ever gotten.
