He is the best pet in the whole town of Abingdon.Click to continue..14 15. Senior Category Well wheres your bird? I heard you have a pet bird.Oh yes. Her name is Bella. She is very cute.After a short conversation, Sofia and Charles parted and went to each others destiny. Bentley was happy with his new owner. Charles and he would play for hours. Good and high quality dog food was served to him. Bentley soon became a renowned dog in the town as he himself alone did the brave deed of catching two out of three most notorious thieves in the town. But soon Charles got bored of Bentley. He got no interest by playing with Bentley. Soon he started to ignore Bentley and it seemed that Bentley didnt ever existed.Click to continue..15 16. Senior CategoryBentley got thinner day by day as he rarely got anything to eat. Maybe he would get a few biscuits in the morning but that to not everyday. Charles, how can you be so careless and irresponsible. See the health of the dog. It would die soon if you do not take care of him like earlier. You should take him out for a walk.It doesnt matter to me. Just dont pinch me dad. Ok, then I will take him out for a walk.Father takes Bentley out for a walk and soon he meets a friend of him on his way and thus because of mania to tittle-tattle, he soon got deeply absorbed in his gossip with his friend and forgot about Bentley. Click to continue..16 17. Senior CategoryBentley was waiting for this opportunity and thus he unleashed himself and ran away. Alan, who had already forgotten that he had come out with Bentley for a walk, was not aware of the fact that Bentley had ran away and went home. Dad, wheres Bentley? If I am not wrong, he had gone out for a walk with you today noon.Oh noooooo, I had forgotten about him. Now what to do? Dont worry he will come soon. Lets have dinner.Click to continue..17 18. Senior CategoryBentley ran and ran till he got exhausted and took shelter in an abandoned cottage in the surrounding woods of Abingdon. Days went by.. No one bothered to find Bentley. But one incident brought everyone's notice, especially Alan and Charles, to the lost dog. It made Alan and Charles realize the importance of pets and animals in the earth. There had been a theft in Alans house and the thief had taken away all the money and valuable items with him. Alan was robbed. His economic life was jeopardized. They were on the verge to be brought to the streets. Charles, thus came to know the importance of Bentley and felt sorrow for how he had treated Bentley. There was nothing to do but to just repent.Click to continue..18 19. Senior CategoryMeanwhile Bentley was staying in the cottage. He got plenty of food going hither and thither in the town. One day he saw a blue bird sitting on the broken window of the cottage. On approaching the bird got scared thinking that the dog would kill him. Who are you and what are you doing here? Please dont harm me , I promise that I wont come here again. No, I wont hurt you but what is your name?Click to continue..19 20. Bella was assured that he would not harm her. So she was talking freely to Bentley.Senior CategoryMy name is Bella and I am a pet of Sofia.Sofia! you mean the one next to Charles.You must be Charles s pet. Sofia used to tell a lot about you. But why did you leave him?He didnt took care of me. He is a careless and selfish boy.He told everything to Bella : how he was tortured, badly treated and how he escaped from them. Click to continue..20 21. Bella was truly touched by his sad story. She was truly feeling sorry for him.Senior CategoryYes, you are quite true. I tell you one thing that the humans consider us to be more inferior than them. You know how cruel they can be . She caught me with a net and put me inside a cage. She took away my freedom as a bird. I was feeling more like a prisoner out there. God curse those humans. I am lucky that she wasnt looking at me when I escaped. But you got plenty of food there?On this question Bella seemed to become more sad. She looked hopelessly at the sky.Click to continue..21 22. Senior CategoryI felt very bad to see my other friends roaming in the sky while I remained in the prison.I wonder how the other pets are treated by the people. Do they also suffer like us?Oh! I forgot to tell you that while I was coming here I saw a young man beating a dog mercilessly. I was shocked and astonished on seeing how cruel humans can be. It seemed that the other people were enjoying not a single person protested against it.Oh God! They dont think that we have life and feelings too. We are also a part of this world.Click to continue..22 23. Senior CategorySuddenly, Angel comes in through the broken window of the cottage. Yes, I agree with you. Humans have become reckless. If I am not wrong, you are angel, Michaels pet?Yes, but his ill treatment made me run away.Sofia was good to me but my nature made me fly away. I didnt like the idea to be put up in a cage. Click to continue..Yes, the crazy race to adopt new fashion between people is the main reason. They have made us pet when owning a pet was a fashion and now when this fashion ended we became inferior to them. 23 24. Senior CategoryMeanwhile, Charles was desperately searching for Bentley. He had searched every place he knew in the town but he couldnt found Bentley. He was feeling like crying. He was praying to God to give him a last chance. He was on his way home when he suddenly noticed Sofia coming. Hey Sofia what are you doing out there? Oh! Charles will you please help me? Alright but tell me what has happened. I couldnt find my bird.Click to continue..24 25. Senior CategoryCharles was surprised to hear this and somehow was confident to find his pet Bentley this time.

Senior CategoryBentley and Bella were surprised to hear the noise of someones footsteps in between of their discussion. You all wait here while I go and check it out.After some time she comes in a hurry.Its them, Charles and Sofia . What should we do now? Well I think that we should give them one last chance.Click to continue..Yes, everyone gets a second chance, so humans should also get a second chance. 26 27.
