Author's Purpose

My Dog Miles One day, my dog, Miles, decided he had enough of living with our cat, Theo. He packed his doggie biscuits, his favorite toys, and hit the road. Life on the road was not as easy as he had expected. No one fed him, and many people ignored him completely. He was not used to this kind of treatment. After a few hours of hunger and loneliness, Miles decided to come back home. As soon as he walked in the door, we all pounced on him, giving him hugs and his favorite foods. Miles smiled and howled, “There really is no place like home.”
