Emily’s family got a new puppy named Max. Max was small, fluffy, and very playful. On the first day, Max ran around the house, sniffing everything. While Emily was playing with him, Max suddenly chewed her shoe. “No, Max!” Emily laughed. Dad gave Max a toy bone. Max loved it and stopped chewing shoes. At night, Max slept in his little bed. Emily was happy to have a new friend at home. She learned that puppies are fun but also need a lot of care.
