Personal Narrative: Copper's Dying
“Wh-what’s wrong?” I asked my mom as she woke me up. “Copper’s dying,” she said. Copper, my dog that I had had since I was borne, was dying. I couldn’t believe my ears. I ran up to my living room and saw Copper lying on the floor. He was a thirteen year old dog and that was a very good age for a dog to die at.
