The family dog

At our old house there was a gate outside that was broken.
It's a huge backyard. We had a trampoline, birds, cats, chickens and more but he also had this big brown dog
with big ears and a wet black nose. He was a very protective dog
who loves the family. His favourite thing to do
with me was dance and go for walks. When he danced he'd jump up on us and tango.
He was a great dog and he was my favourite animal I had.
Then he got a tumour
and passed away.
