Yoda (written by Shannia Lin and Yunu Wu)
Part 1
Yoda was an affectionate dog. Every morning she’d be her owner’s alarm, licking her owner's face to wake up. She’d follow her owner around watching him get ready for the day. She loved watching everything about her owner, such as watching him brush his teeth, eat breakfast, and getting his documents together. She would always want her owner to pet her. She would lay next to him, waiting for her owner to show her love and affection.
Yoda是一只重情義的狗狗。每天早上它都會舔它的主人的臉起床。它會看著它的主人為這一天做好準備。比如說看著主人刷牙,吃早餐,準備他去上班時要用的文件。Yoda它總是希望它的主人可以摸摸它。它會躺在主人旁邊等著它的主人表現出對它的愛和感情。

Yoda would always obediently wait for her breakfast and her owner would always fill it to the top. Since Yoda’s owner got a promotion, he had more work to do, so he had been coming home late. Her owner started to forget to refill her bowl. Getting petted also became a very rare occurrence.
Yoda really wanted to go out and get some fresh air because her owner didn’t have time to take her out. She decided to go on an afternoon stroll by herself. She was thinking that she might find something to eat.
Yoda平時都會乖乖的等待它的早餐,它的主人都會幫它把碗裝滿。 但是自從它的主人升職了之後, 主人的工作越來越多,回家的時間也比之前晚了。所以它的主人總是忘記要重新裝滿它的碗,也沒時間帶Yoda出去散步了。 被摸摸也變得非常罕見。
Yoda真的很想出去呼吸新鮮空气,因為她的主人沒有時間帶她出去。 她決定一个人下午去散散步。 她在想,她可能會找到些吃的。
Part 3
During her stroll, she got tired. She sat on the sidewalk resting. However, what she didn’t know was that she was sitting in another dog’s territory. The dog that owned that territory told Yoda to back off. Yoda told him that she was just resting and would be gone in a few minutes. However, this dog wasn’t letting it go. They started fighting. This dog called his friends to come help. Yoda was outnumbered. She got bruises all over her body and her skin was ripped apart. With all the strength she had left, she got up and ran.
Yoda走著走著就累了。 它便坐到路邊休息。 它並不知道它正坐在另一隻狗狗的領地上。擁有這片土地的那隻狗狗叫Yoda離開它的地盤。Yoda告訴那隻狗狗它只是在休息等下就走。不管怎麼樣那隻狗狗不願意, 於是他們便打了起來。這隻狗狗叫來了它的朋友來一起打架。因為太多只狗狗了,所以Yoda就跑走了。
Part 4
Yoda ran and ran until she was sure that she was safe. She smelled the fragrance of food from a store. She followed that trail of the smell, limping into a store. She saw a hot dog on the floor and ate it. The workers were shocked to see a dog in the store. They were afraid that if Yoda was left outside, she would have some difficulties and wouldn’t survive. The workers immediately dialed animal control, hoping that a shelter would give Yoda the help she needed. When the dog catchers arrived, Yoda was too scared. To calm Yoda, the dog catchers got some dog food from their car. Yoda was so hungry, she got closer to them. At the right moment, the dog catchers used a net to catch Yoda and put her into the cage. Now Yoda is receiving good care in the shelter but hopes a welcoming family to take her home.
Yoda跑了又跑,直到她确定自己安全為止。 她聞到了商店里食物的香味。於是它隨著味道來到了超商。 它看到了一個熱狗掉在了地板上就吃了起來。超商的工作人員看到了Yoda。他擔心Yoda在外面會死掉。工人們立即撥打了動物控制中心的電話,希望庇護所能給Yoda提供所需的幫助。當那個捕狗人到達現場的時候,Yoda很害怕。 為了抓Yoda,捕狗人從車裡拿來一些狗狗的零食。Yoda實在太餓了便想去吃那個狗狗的零食於是就靠近那個捕狗人。在那個瞬間,捕狗人拿起網子把Yoda抓了起來然後把它放進籠子裡。現在Yoda在收容所得到很好的照顧,但希望有一个熱情的家庭能把她接回家。
