Atticus was just amazing today! It all started when me and Jem decided to go exploring with our air-rifles to see if we could find a rabbit or a squirrel. Five hundred yards beyond the Radley's place, Jem seemed to have spotted a dog. He decided to tell Calpurnia about the dog but I didn't really see the point to at that time. He started acting out what the dog did to her when she seemed really annoyed, but then Calpurnia seemed to realise something. After leading her to the dog, she went all crazy and ran us home, grabbing us by our shoulder. She called Atticus and told him about a mad dog on the loose. We were told to stay in the house at all costs.
Soon, Atticus arrived with Heck Tate. After a brief exchange, Heck Tate handed the rifle over to Atticus. What was he thinking? Atticus could not shoot a gun even if his life depended on it! Next thing we knew, Atticus had shot the dog dead. After that, miss Maudie actually said that our father was nicknamed One-Shot Finch! I never knew Atticus was so awesome. I am going to tell everyone at school on Monday.
