"The dog went missing"

My mom woke me up with bad news.
I ran to the door and put on my shoes.
The dog had gone missing. He ran out the side gate.
We had to find him before it was too late.

Who knows what could happen?
The worst I imagined.
I searched all throughout town
But my hopes were down.

I saw no huskies around.
What if they took him to the pound?
But then, I received a call. They had him safe in the backyard.
So we rushed up boulevard.

And there he was tied to a tree.
He was drinking a lot of water. I'm sure he had to pee.
I was very grateful that he wasn't hurt.
But now I know, we have to be very alert.
