Helping Hally 
Sam was sitting on the couch, watching television. His mom 
walked in the door with Hally, their dog. Hally walked right 
over to Sam and licked him hello. 
“Hi Hally! How was your 
checkup?” Sam asked. 
Hally just looked at Sam.  
“We have to help Hally,” 
said Mom.  
“Help her how?” asked Sam. 
“Do you remember when we went to pick up Hally from her 
litter? We picked her because she looked like her mom. She 
is brown with spots, with long ears, and she was energetic, 
so we thought she’d be strong, like her mom. But how does 
she look now?” Mom asked. 
“Well,” thought Sam, “She’s still brown with spots and long 
ears, but she’s not very energetic or strong anymore.”

“That’s what the vet said, too. We haven’t been letting her 
exercise as much, and we’ve been feeding her a lot. She 
would probably look just like her mom now if we had walked 
her more. We have to start walking her more often, so that 
she’ll stay healthy for a long time. Will you help?” 
“Sure!” said Sam. He decided that he could play fetch with 
her every day in the yard, because then she could run and 
run and run until she was tired. The first day, they o nly 
played fetch for about 10 minutes before Hally was tired. 
But Sam kept playing with her every day. Soon, they could 
play for an entire half an hour! Hally looked stronger every 
day, just like her mom. Sam felt great about helping Hally 
get strong again.
