Dear Arthur,
I think I'll start by telling you things from more recent times. Well... A couple of years ago my friend, Nicklas went off to Afghanistan to keep the rebels at bay. I haven't had a true friend since he left. He writes to me often though but I'll tell you more about him in another letter.
The reason I'm writing this letter is my dog. I know it's a strange reason to write but I thought I'd start to tell you about my life now. My dog, Bruno has kept me company since Nick left. He keeps me in shape as well. When I first got him he was about three years old. I thought he would distract me and help me to move on but I will never forget you Arthur.
Anyway your probably thinking 'come on Merlin, you idiot. Something interesting must have happened with this dog.' Well your right. I was taking him out for a walk like I do everyday but he was attacked by another dog at the park. I'm writing this letter as a sit here waiting for the vets to tell me if he'll make it though. I can't lose him Arthur! I have no one left. I think I'm bad luck. Everyone I have love gets hurt or they need to leave.
I hope he pulls though, I'll tell you if he does.
Please come back soon
From Merlin
