<span>I have a dog. Its nickname is Bobik. It likes to play and run very much. In winter, when there is a lot of snow lying around, it is barking all day and night. He is dreaming about warm days then. In summer we almost never see it because Bobik is running around somewhere. And when it is back home we go for a walk together. When I come home from school it immediately runs to me because my friend wants to play. I really love my dog very much. </span>
