Barder takes Flight

Hayden and Barder had been together for years. Nothing could tear them apart, not even about the fact that Barder was a dog and Hayden was a 5 year old boy. Since Hayden could remember Barder had always been apart of their family and was always there. It wasn't till a cold windy day November when Hayden's family would be torn apart, the last time Hayden saw his father was boarding a plane to go on secret mission. The last time he spoke to his father he told him he was sending him a present from Iran, where his father had been stationed for 13 months. Hayden's mother missed him dearly and everyday wrote him an email to let him know how much her, Hayden, and Barder missed him. They awaited the day till he came back.

When the package came for Hayden he wasn't there, Barder was the only one home and he proceeded to growl at the post man as usual. He watched over the package and waited for mom to get home. When Hayden got home he was shocked to see a package on the kitchen table and tore the packaging to pieces, he unwrapped a orange turban that his dad had promised to send him. he couldn't wait for his mom to email him and for his dad to call there he could tell him he got the present. Mom sent emails but there were no responses. Mom turned on the TV and there was nothing but bad news, bad news about Iran. the secret mission went wrong and communication was lost with all troops. Hayden's mother burst into tears and didn't know what to do. Later that night after dinner was served, homework was completed, and baths were taken Hayden laid in his bed thinking. He wanted to see his father and show him that he got the turban. He got up and put on the turban, him and Barder were going to walk to iran to rescue his father. Hayden put on a coat and shoes, he walked out the door with high spirits and faith.

They began walking they passed the park, the school, the library, and the freeway. Hayden and Barder stopped, they were hot and tired. Hayden placed the turban on Barder and leaned against his warm fur and all the sudden the began to rise up off the floor! Barder barked and Hayden climbed onto him and they began to fly in the air. "Off to get daddy Barder! Wherever daddy is we must rescue him and show him what the turban can do!" Barder and Hayden flew for hours through the calm clouds, until the clouds turned into a dirty gray color and the air smelled of gun power. Barder was trying to make his way through the dirty clouds until something hit him, Barder slowly began drop to the ground. They landed in a war zone of Iran. Barder was on the ground crying out in pain but Hayden refused to leave him. They have been together for too long to let go now. they were just lying down waiting until a strange tall man in a uniform came walking towards them, the man picked up Barder and held Hayden close. Hayden got a glimpse of the man who saved them and it was daddy. The magic turban had bought them to daddy.
