5. One time I was play fighting with my dad (about 4 years back), and my dog thought I was really fighting, with my dad. So my dog (Prince) came up and growled my dad and I didn't hear him. Then the dog went on top of the bed a jumped and bite my leg. Thank GOD he wasn't sick or anything, but to make sure I put some alchool in the bite. my dad was made and the dog was punished. Now me and that dog hate each other. We have a rivalry and me and him are always looking for a way to hurt each other. Really bad! The point I'm trying to make is that animals do different things and some are good, while others are bad. Like me and that dog me and him are always fighting one time he bite me(a different time, a little one) and I got so mad I almost hit him with my electric guitar. Then one day (one of my favorite days) I got out of bed and when I was running out of my room I hit him. It was a accident but, I love this accident.
