I used to have pets

My family used to own some pets but if not dead, they were always taken away. We used to have a dotted dog, not very big. She was very naughty and cheerful. She was pregnant before being caught by some official guys. I saw them dragging her neck onto their van when she was standing on the pavement. My mother had to pay some money to bring her back with a broken leg. She wasn't able to run happily around me anymore since then. She gave birth to five colorful puppies. And a week later, she also disppeared. No one in the neighborhood ever saw her. Those guys might have caught her again. I never forgot how she was dragged, her saliva her bark till today. Now staying abroad, I always think aboout my mother in Vietnam. I talk to her quite often on the phone. Last October, I had a dream of my mother. She was lying in the rice field watching television on in the a cottage nearby. I walked up to her crying. She looks weak and unable to talk much. She said she would give me two lovely dogs. She then turned away to keep watching the Tv. I cried, I couldn't do or say anything, just looked at her and cried. When I woke up, my eyes were full of tears...
