I would give my dog, Trixie, to Jess Aarons. He always wanted a dog, but couldn't get one. He finally did get one but gave it to his new friend, Leslie Burke. After Leslie dies, her father said he was going to give P.T., the dog, to Jess, but couldn't bring himself to let it go. So Jess still doesn't have a dog. I would give Trixie to Jess because I know Jess would take good care of it, judging by the way he let the racoon go free instead of killing it. Trixie would also be a good friend to him and that would be great for Jess since he doesn't have many friends. Plus Trixie doesn't require much more than food and she loves scraps so it would be inexpensive for his poor family.
