A Dog's Tale Gerard Kelly

Tim should never have agreed to a bike race around the park with Blaize. he should have known that Blaize would have cheated. Tim lay flat out on the ground with blood streaming from a wound in his leg. His bike lying on top of him. Blaize just laughed and rode away leaving Susan to try and help her friend. Then a dog, that had been running on the grass, came over to see what was happening. The dog saw the blood and decided to help. Tim watched as the dog licked his wound clean. "There is nothing better than a dog's tongue for a cut like that!" The dog's owner said as he came over, "It will soon clear up now."Within a few hours Tim was seriously ill, his leg was swollen and he could hardly walk. It was days before he could get out of bed, but when he did something strange had happened. Tim could smell things that he had never detected before and his sense of hearing was amazing!
