Write a short story that ends with this as the final line.
Lost Puppy
There was a couple who had no children. They ran into a lost puppy who had a name tag but no owner in sight. They left him as he was just in case someone would claim him. Weeks went by and he was still wondering the same area.
It didn’t look to be in good shape anymore. They finally decided to take him in. They fed him and took him to the vet. He was perfectly fine. He grew fast and had a fun personality.
Years later while bringing in groceries, the dog ran out as fast as he could. He must of been so excited that he kept running. They couldn’t catch up. Weeks went by and they found nothing.
Then while walking around they found his name tag on the floor. It was torn! There were still no signs of him. Something terrible must have happened and all they could do was cry.
