AN UNFORGETABLE FRIEND (REVISED )

Dogs are told to be best friends of human beings. I agree with this but once I had a dog that is more than a best friend for me.I spend my childhood with him. His name was Tosun.

As much as I remembered one of my father's friend gave him to us. When I first saw him, he was in an empty Halley box. He was screaming and crying as loudly as he could. He was only 2 weeks old. Although the man had told my father that the puppy was hungry and had not eat anything that morning, his stomach was very big and quite round. So he deserved his name at that moment with that round pinky stomach.


He was a purebred English settler.There were two gigantic ears at the each side of his head, two beautiful red eyes, a pink nose and a small white point just above his right eye. When he saw me the first thing he did was always a stubid gaze. The second thing that he did was again always same. He ran towards you as fast as he could and bump into you. His favorite toys were my hands. He loved to sweep my hands with his long red tonque. When he was happy it was imposible to stop him; he always jumped around us while his gigantic ears dancing in the air,touched with his large paws to us to force us to play with him.

He was my guard angel when I was seven. He escorted to the scholl and took me back every day. I never walked that long boring road alone. Also he was a very interesting dog. He watched nearly all the football matches that I play, went to swimming with me and the most importantly he was with me in my first fight. ( The boy whom I fought was Sami one of my best friends now ) Tosun bit Sami with his razor sharp teeth two or three times.


We shared 13 beautiful years and something began to change. At first we were not aware that he was too old for a setter but thanks to a veterinerian we learnt it. Every passing day he moved less and less. And one day suddenly I lost my best friend.


Today I'm still thinking about him.And I'm not the only one that misses him. My father still hides it's strap and there is a photo of Tosun in my mothers next to our photos
