I had forgotten about wanting a dog until the school pet contest. The winners would choose a book from the bookstore. Two things I like: books and dogs. Mom and Dad would like to get me a dog, but they can’t. We live in an apartment that has a no-pets rule.

I like the apartment. It’s right across the street from the park. That’s where I spend most of my free time reading books. And the rent is cheap. Mom and Dad work hard. But they don’t make all that much money.

When I got home from school, I told Mom about the pet contest. That night, she and Dad had a long talk. The next night Dad came home carrying a big box. There was a dog inside. But the dog didn’t bark or even move. Dad had gotten me a robot dog. He said he bought it from a guy at work. The dog was broken. So the guy sold it cheap. Dad is great at repairing things and he got the dog working again.

I named the robot dog Robbie and taught it some tricks like sitting up and rolling over. I also taught it to go and get a ball when I throw it. That’s a hard trick. I can’t throw the ball too far. Robbie won’t be able to see it. Its camera eyes can see for only about 20 yards.

When the day of the contest came, I took Robbie to school. There were pet dogs of all sizes and lots of pet cats. There were also pet fish and pet birds. Prizes were being awarded for the smartest pet, the biggest pet, and the most unusual pet. When the judges looked at Robbie, they began talking among themselves. Some of the judges said that the contest was only for live pets. But then one of the judges said that the rules didn’t say that the pets had to be live animals. So Robbie did all his dog tricks. The judges were surprised.

Robbie didn’t win first prize. The judges decided that should go to a real live pet. But Robbie got a prize for most unusual pet. To tell you the truth, I would still rather have a real dog.

I'm very thankful to the cat and it always makes me think of the time I was with him.

Five years ago, when my father was dying, I travelled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days. I felt very sad and it was one of the most difficult and painful times in my life. After he passed away, I stayed alone in his flat. There were so many things to deal with. I was lonely and I hated the silence of the flat.

But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost immediately fell asleep.

The next morning I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been left by his owner. His owner had moved out, so the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked back to the flat, I tried to work out what to do with him. Having something else to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed. But as soon as I opened the flat door, he ran to me and jumped into my arms. It was clear from that moment that he didn't want to go anywhere. I started calling him Willis in order to remember my father's best friend.

From then on, things grew easier. With Willis in my lap, time seemed to pass much faster.

When the time finally came for me to return home, I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was absolutely no way I would leave without him.

It's been five years since my father died. Over the years, several people have said how nice it was of me to rescue the cat. But I know that we rescued each other. I may have given him a home but he gave me something greater.
