First Kisses

What would you do if you watch dogs for a job, and lost your best friends dog? Well, in the story First Kisses by Jenny Collins Allie one of the main characters in the story opens up a dog sitting job for the summer. And well it doesn't go as planed. Her best friend lets her look after her dog and Allie ends up loosing the dog, but then finds her at a shelter down the street. Allie then learns that she doesn't need a best friend and that she should be friends with everyone.

If I was in Allie's place I would feel terrible if I lost my best friends dog. Allie ended up finding the dog at a shelter down the street, and took the dog home. But somehow her friend found out and told people not to come to the dog care. Allie thought that her summer job was over. But then more and more people came to drop their dogs off the next day. So even though one person said something bad about the dog care doesn't mean that it's true. I would just be very thankful for the people that came and make sure to give them a thanks.

This is just me but I don't think that I would open up a dog sitting job for the summer. To me summer is where you get to relax and just hang out with friends and play sports. But Allie's idea of a great summer was different. At the end of summer her job did very well and she made a lot of money. Even though her summer was great she thought there was something missing, her best friend. But, she realized that to have a great summer you don't need a best friend. In my opinion I think that you should always have a close friend because that way you always have someone to do things with. But in Allie's case the dogs were her best friends.

First kisses is a well written book that gives you a well moral lesson. What I learned from the story was that you don't need a best friend in life. You can just have a lot of close friends. In the book Allie then learns that you don't need a best friend to do everything with, you can just be friends with everyone. Even though dogs can't talk they are good friends to have.
