Mabel's Composition

"Oh my!" I gasped. I looked at the newspaper. It read, "DOG killed in car accident". I stared at the words. MY Dog had a near death experience recently too.
"Muuum...! I'm going to take Nali for a walk!", I called out to my mother. I put a leash around my loyal dog, Nali. We went for our daily walk. When we were walking along a pavement, we could see three boys playing football on the other side of the road. I continued walking with Nali as I heard a familiar sound.. "Buoiinng". I turned around and gasped at the boys. Their ball was bobbing towards the road! Deep in awe, I released my clutch off the leash as my hands covered my mouth.
Nali thought one of the boys was playing with her and raced towards the ball on the road. A car sped towards Nali."Nali....move!", I shouted. My mind began to race. The driver of the car saw Nali with his mouth agape in horror. I was frightened out of my wits as terror gripped me. The driver tried to avoid hitting Nali and applied his brakes with all his might. I watched helplessly. My heart was still pounding uncontrollably.
Luckily, Nali looked up in time and dashed away and sprinted back to me. My clammy palms grabbed her instantaneously. I tagged the leash on her collar again. The driver felt relieved that all was alright. One of the boys, who was already red-faced felt guilty and apologised to me. I accepted his apology and returned home. I informed my mother of the incident.
"Woof woof". My thoughts were disrupted by Nali's barks. Nali's fur brushed against my legs. I hugged her. "I'm glad you are safe", I whispered into her ears.
