Foster Home-Personal Narrative

Once there was a free-spirited puppy who wanted to venture out by himself and explore the world around him.
He was not afraid. He was brave and strong and independent.

For many months he lived on his own, enjoying his freedom and his adventures. Even though he knew how to take care of himself he soon realized that there were times when he had to rely on the kindness of others to look out for him and protect him.

One day he wandered into the woods and became lost.
Suddenly there was no one to look out for him and no one to protect him. A storm came and, for the first time, he felt alone and afraid. He imagined how nice it would be if he had a real home.
He hid under a box and cried himself to sleep.

When the storm was over he looked out …show more content…

His foster family named him Max.

In his foster home Max learned what it was like to be part of a family. He learned what it meant to share and to love and to be loved. Max realized he really liked his new life. Adventures were fun but having someone to share them with was even more fun. Living alone was nice but having a family was so much nicer.

Being part of a family also meant that everyone had something to contribute.
Everyone had a job to do and Max knew right away what his job was. His job was to protect his family. And so he does, every day and every night.

He sits on the mantle and guards the house when his people are away. When they are home he continues to protect them and keep them out of harm’s way.
Sometimes he stays on the mantle so he can watch over the house.
Sometimes he will move around to other places in the house and sometimes he will go out in the world with his family members so he can protect them when they are away from home.

Often the children ask him to sleep with them or sit on the table next to their beds so he can watch over them at night. It makes Max really happy …show more content…

He will protect his family members better than anyone else ever could. He will guard their home when they are away and watch over them when they are home.
He will make sure they always feel safe.

We all have those times when the world just seems overwhelming.
No matter how old we are or how brave or strong or independent we are, there are moments when we can all use a best friend – someone who understands us, someone who never judges us, someone who is always there to look out for us – someone like Max.

When you adopt Max him and make him a part of your family, he promises to comfort you when you are sad and protect you when you are scared.
He will still sit on the mantle and guard the house if you’d like but you can also hug him, kiss him, pet him or talk to him any time you need to.

And, if you would like, he will even go with you when you go out into the world and he will look out for you and protect you just like others once did for him.
He will be loyal and devoted and he will love you unconditionally. He will be there for you and he will protect you - every day and every night. After all, that is what family members do for each
