Bo and Ms. Beanz (2 page)

Authors: Jane Kirkland

Bo climbs onto big rocks and jumps onto stone walls. He climbs up hills and hops onto park benches. He climbs onto fallen tree trunks and he even likes to climb on the bleachers at the little league ball field. Bo is a very good climber. He is the King of the Hill!

We love Bo. It took almost a year for him to grow strong and brave, to trust us, and to like being with us all the time. He is a happy dog now. We are his friends and he is our friend.

Are you a good friend to any animals or people? What makes you their good friend? What makes them your good friend?

This is Bo's girlfriend Emma. She lives on our street, too. Bo and Emma play together every day!

Bo and Emma like to swim in the lake together. They like to roll down hills on their backs and play fight games. Mostly they just like to lie in the grass next to each other.

Sometimes Emma comes to our house for a sleep over.

Emma is a good friend to Bo and he is a good friend to Emma.

Why do you think they are good friends?
