On Sunday morning I found a small dog in the park.
It was alone and very hungry.
There was a phone number on its collar.
I called the number, and a man answered.
He was so happy that he started to cry.
His dog had run away two days ago.
Twenty minutes later he came to the park.
The dog jumped into his arms and would not stop licking his face.
