My name is Devin and I’m trying to locate a lost “Lost Dog” poster that I posted in my neighborhood earlier this week.
I made the poster on my mom’s computer, printed it out, walked outside, and hung it up on telephone pole near the playground. I know that I hung this poster up and it’s not just in my imagination. Anyway, it’s really important that I find this poster because it was the only one I printed because our home printer was almost out of ink and the worst part is, I forgot to save it.
My poster was printed on a standard-sized white piece of paper. On it, I wrote “MY DOG IS LOST!” and then put a Clipart photo of a brown dog that looks similar to mine. Below the photo I wrote, “If you see a lost dog, call Devin ASAP.”
I should mention that the wording on this poster was printed in Comic Sans Font, my favorite. I’m pretty sure the “LOST DOG” part was printed in size 48 font, and the rest of the poster was printed in 36 or something. Another thing that you should know about this poster is that it took me lots of time to create it. When Gulliver got lost on Wednesday night, my mom said that I should go look around the neighborhood with my sister but instead I decided to devote my time to making the poster because then it wouldn’t just be me searching; it would be everybody.
Yesterday after school, Mitch and I walked around the neighborhood looking for the poster. He tried to make me feel better by saying that maybe the poster fell down and blew away, or maybe the bully from our school, named Sean, saw it and took it. My best guess is that someone else in town also lost a dog, and that person took down my poster so they could take it home and copy of it. I’ve had a lot of experience with copy cats in my school, so this wouldn’t surprise me.
There’s not much more I can say about this poster, except I need it back before my dog gets even more lost. Also, I know that my poster isn’t the nicest “Lost Dog” poster in the universe, but Gulliver is the nicest dog there is, so I hope you can please help me find my poster so that I can find my dog.
