              except one disappeared from the road. The only one left would run behind its

              puppy. It followed Abhi wherever he went. Scooby also felt itself free as it was
                                                                                       Abhi and Scooby. The amazing thing is that the relationship between humans,

              impatient. To his surprise, a big snake was trying to enter the front yard of the
              house. And Scooby was almost dancing before it and barking at it. The snake
              was  confused  by  its  actions  and  maybe  by  the  vibrations  she  created  by
              jumping because snakes don't have ears. Abhi brought the stick and frightened
              the snake to go away to the fields, its natural habitat. She stopped barking only
              when the snake was out of sight. When he told his father about it, he was also          ~ Tejaswini Patil Dange ~
              amazed with Scooby's actions.

              Being a single child, Abhi felt lonely before Scooby's arrival but afterwards he
              never felt so. When he went to school, Scooby waited for him outside the
              house. Like Abhi, Scooby also liked Milk Candy. Abhi bought two candies
              every time. And if the candy seller came to their street, Scooby would bark and
              call Abhi to buy her one.
