The Black Cat

Another story that gets my attention is Edgar Allan Poe's the Black Cat. The concept of Karma and the fact that eventually your secrets will be revealed is entracing to me. But beside The Black Cat there are other animals that get revenge for example in one story there is a little black dog that is witnessed to the killing of his owner and then is killed. The Dog goes on haunting the murderer until the murderer is dead. It is amazing in these stories how the animal will fight for the right of their owner.

Short story by me (John Adams)

Alex had always wanted a puppy and when he reached 14 his mother and father said that he responsible enough. They entered a pet store looking for a dog for Alex. No dogs were perfect. They went to 5 different pet stores and again nothing was good enough. Alex was spoiled but this was getting ridiculous. His parents became more aggravated with each time they went to the pet stores. They finally went to an animal shelter. They looked around and again nothing was good enough for Alex. That was until he saw Jasper. Jasper had just been brought in from a dangerous situation. His mother was breed repeatedly to give birth to attack dogs. He was a pit-bull and they were going to put him to sleep. Alex saw him and he knew that this dog was the only dog for him. Somehow Alex’s dad got the dog from the animal shelter. They brought him home and they became instantly inseparable. Alex never thought of Jasper as an attack dog and he knew that Jasper loved him.

4 years had passed and Jasper and Alex had grown even closer as they grew older. Alex always had Jasper in the passenger seat of his car whenever he could. Unfortunately, at that time a man by the name of Rick was being let out of jail. He was the same man that had breed Jasper’s mom and had been planning to use Jasper as an attack dog. One day Alex and Jasper drove by his car and he looked in and knew just then that Jasper was the same dog. Jasper was his perfect attack dog and he knew he had to get Jasper back. He followed Alex and Jasper in his car. Alex pulled up at the grocery store. “I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Alex said to Jasper. Jasper just wept and laid down. Rick pulled up next to the car and looked in. He waited. When Alex came out he looked around seeing that no one was there and shot him in the chest.

He opened the door and tried to Jasper out of the car. When Jasper realized what happened he ran out and wept next to Alex. This was his owner and more importantly his best friend. Rick reached down to grab at Jasper. Jasper growled. He bared his teeth and Rick pulled out his gun. Jasper waited for Rick to get close enough and bit him on the hand hard. Rick pulled the trigger and Jasper fell to the ground. Jasper quietly whimpered and Rick walked away believing that Jasper was dead now. Jasper got up and bit him in the calf. As Rick fell to the floor Jasper moved toward his throat. Rick died and Jasper fell seconds after. Luckily for them people came out to find out what the noise was. They were able to save Alex and they were able to save Jasper. An animal may not always defend an owner but it will always defend a friend.
