Rex was a sweet kid with a big heart. He absolutely loved 

animals. He decided for his 10th birthday that instead of 

presents, he wanted his friends to bring donations for the 

local animal shelter.

"Wow Rex! Is this for all of the animals?" gushed the woman 

at the shelter. Rex just stood there with a big smile on his 

face. "Would you like to go visit the cats and dogs now?   "Oh 

boy!" Rex exclaimed.

Rex loved to visit all of the kitties but it made him sad that he 

couldn't take them all home. One of the ladies at the shelter 

handed a soft. fluffy white kitty for Rex to hold. She was so 

sweet. She purred the entire time he held her and rubbed her 

face against his cheek. It upset him that he couldn't take her 

home. He said goodbye to the kitties and headed over to the 

kennels to visit the dogs.

The kennels were always so loud as the dogs all started 

barking. They jumped up and down trying to catch Rex's 

attention. He went over and talked to as many of them as he 

could. As he was getting ready to leave, he wasn't sure but he 

thought he heard a snorting sound.

He walked to the last kennel where he saw a little piggy 

looking up at him. The pig was so tiny, pink, and cute. He 

oinked at Rex who started to laugh. When no one was 

looking, he put his fingers inside the cage. The pig started to 

lick Rex's fingers. "Okay Rex, time to go!" his Dad called out 

to him. As he was leaving, Rex kept turning around to see the 

pig's sweet little face starting back at him.

"Rex, you've been such a good boy lately that your father and I have 

decided that you're ready to have a pet" Mom happily told him. "We 

will go to the shelter tomorrow and adopt a new friend" Dad added.

The next morning, Rex and his Dad drove to the shelter. Rex 

went straight to the kennel and found the little pig that he 

saw the last time. "I want the piggy!" he squealed. "Are you 

sure? They have cats and dogs here too you know" Dad 

responded. "No. I want this guy" Rex said as he held the 

pudgy little pig in his arms.
