1) What are your feelings about Mr.Lacey's decision at the end of the story?
De'Ja- I thought that he did the right thing by bringing the dog back.
Samuel- It was good Mr.Lacey took the dog back home , because Doris would've been sad and would've had an attitude.
Myshuan-It was a good ending , Mr.Lacey made the right choice.
Sanice- I think Mr.Lacey made the right choice by letting Doris keep the dog otherwise Doris would've had an attitude and the dog would've been dead if no one adopted him before 3-7 days.

2) Why is the setting "a cold , snowy January" an important part of the story?
De'Ja- It's important because the setting lets you know when everything took place.
Samuel-Because if we didn't have the setting we wouldn't know when and where everything took place.
Myshuan- It give more description because no one would talk about a dog walking in snow but was talking about the April.
Sanice- Because , the setting tells you when and where everything is taking place in the story and if it wasn't include in the story we wouldn't know when everything took place.

3) After Doris cries, her mother tells her to"act more grown up."Do you think this is good advice? Why or why not?
De'Ja- Yes, because Doris needed to act more mature about the situation.
Samuel- No,because it really seemed like she didn't care about her daughters feelings.
Myshuan-No,because she had gotten attached to the dog and for her parents to take him away of course she's going to be mad.
Sanice-No,because she began to care for the dog and so it was hard for her because she knew she would probably never see him again.

4) What do you think the story's theme has to say about loving and caring?
De'Ja- "Once you began to care for something you realize not only do you care for it but you also love it."
Samuel-"Love in first sight"
Myshuan-"If you love something let it free, but if it loves you it will come back."
Sanice-"don't only think about your feelings think about the ones you care for feelings"
Samuel-"Love in first sight"
Myshuan-"If you love something let it free, but if it loves you it will come back."
Sanice-"don't only think about your feelings think about the ones you care for feelings"
