Title: To Have a Dog
Description: Matthew lives in an orphanage.  He wanted a dog, but never got one.  One day he finally gets new parents and a dog. Matthew wanted only one thing on Earth: a dog.  He lived in a children’s home, and they weren’t allowed to have a real dog.  The toy dog he got for Christmas was broken; the other animals he tried out as pets didn’t live up to his expectations.  He never ever thought about wanting a Mother or a Father—but one day, when a couple comes to adopt him—he decides to keep an open mind. . . .
