In My Own Words…

"Toby will you stand please," Doc asked as he stood in front of the town dogs, Toby swallowed hard as he stood up he didn't know what would happen to him. "I think we should we just case him off," a dog in the coward spook out of turn. Toby looked at the ground, "Yeah or maybe we should just killing him off," said another dog talking out of turn. Toby looked in the coward seeing his uncle Kodi watching him up there in the stands of the boiler room.

"Toby you need to trust me. I want let them hurt you just use your words and tell the truth. And I swear I will find the dog responsible for this…" uncle Kodi's words replayed in Toby's mind over and over. A bright light was shined on Toby and Doc so everyone could see them." Is this what you want to live in shame?" Austyn Toby's best friend once said before Toby walked in the boiler room for trial.

The heat from the bright light seemed to get hotter and hotter as time flew by. Doc turned to Toby and nodded. "Are you sure you did do this?" Balto said three days ago before trial. "Kodi the whole town thinks he did it how are you going prove him innocent?" Dusty words replayed in Kodi's head. "I don't know but I'm going to make sure that my nephew isn't going to go through what my dad before I was born," Kodi said to Dusty.

The room seemed to get smaller and smaller as more and more dogs walked in to see Toby's trial. Toby sees his Grandmother walk in the boiler room with tears in her eyes. This made want Toby want to cry as well. His Grandfather walked in beside her. This made Toby want to hide from the world and never show his face ever again but uncle Kodi's words still replayed in his mind "Trust me," over and over again.

"Mom I know Toby better than that he wouldn't do anything like this and you that!" Sierra said a week before Toby's trial. Toby's mouth started to run dry for what he needed was water. Doc noticed this. "Would like some water son?" Doc asked in a clam and soft voice Toby turned and looked at him and nodded. Doc smiled and nodded in reply. Toby turned and looked back at the crowd, seeing all his family in the back row.

Aleu felt a tear fall from her muzzle as her son sits up in the stands ready for his trial. "Papa I know his innocent someone is out to get him and get us for something we did but what?" Aleu started the night before the trial. Doc got the water for Toby and sits it next to him. Toby takes a drink but scared to drink in front everyone thinking that he would be judged over drinking some water from the bowl.

After drinking the water he looked up at the crowd and swallowed hard once more before talking. He looked at Doc and nodded then looked back at the coward ready to speak in his own words. Toby sighed and closes his eyes before talking. "Whatever happens you always be our little toby," Jenna said right before he walked on the stands. Toby opened his eyes seeing the whole town of dogs including some dogs from White Mountain.

"In my own words I did it I did everything!" Toby shouted to the crowd before the power to the boiler room black out everything…
