It was a beautiful summer day and every dog at the adoption center day camp was playing around, waiting to be adopted. All of them thought This could be the day! Except for one dog; Little Timmy. Little Timmy thought that he would never get adopted and that he would be stuck at the adoption center forever. “Alvin will always bully me for my size,” he barked. “I’ll never get adopted!” Meanwhile Alvin approached Little Timmy with his gang. Alvin was a big tough Doberman who always bullied Timmy. “Timmy, Timmy, Timmy. What can we do about this horrible situation. All of the dogs will be adopted except for you. No one wants a worthless little dog whose smaller than a squirrel.” He had been feed these horrible thoughts since he first arrived at …show more content…

Don’t let someone like Alvin bully you for something so little as size.” The voice started getting closer and Timmy started growing more curious as to who the voice was. It was Max. An old basset hound who had been at the daycamp for as long as Timmy could remember. He had always tried to help Timmy but he just couldn’t fix Timmy’s confidence level.

He tried to bully other dogs so he could feel better about his size. “Timmy, could I talk to you for a moment?” Alvin said with his shaky voice. “Why? So you can bully me some more? I know that I can get adopted even with my size. Someone will love me for who I am and not who I want to become.” Alvin was nervous as to what he was going to say but he knew that it was the right thing to do. “I am so sorry for all the things I have ever done to you. I know that I shouldn’t have bullied you for your size when I have the same problem you do.” “Am I talking to the same Alvin that just bit my leg and always tries to get the best of me?” Little Timmy answered. “All you ever do is try to hurt me so that you will feel better about yourself. You and your gang have don’t care about anyone but yourselves.” “That’s not entirely true. When I was little I always stood out from my siblings because of my size. I was always the biggest, tallest, fattest dog ever. My siblings always made fun of me for it. It didn’t even make sense I am the youngest of 7 puppies! Shouldn’t I be the smallest like you?” “Yea your helping so much.” said Little Timmy. “What I mean is I always thought that I would never get adopted because of my size. No one wants a big fat dog. They only want a tiny one that they can cuddle with. I bully you because I try to feel better about my own size.
