Complete step-by-step answer:
Find the subject of the story and the narration. Here the subject is Snoopy and the narration is in the third person.

It was a cold, foggy morning. The dog Snoopy - reluctant to come out of its bed - just then suddenly it caught a faint scent, reminiscent of summer and the beach. Snoopy stood up, alert, and cautious. Something was odd but he could not understand. Whether he was expecting a friend or a foe, he did not know, but regardless he rushed into the porch and looked on. The scent, still distant, was now closer to him. The cloudy sky grew dark and before he could move it started raining heavily. Snoopy was determined that something unusual was going to happen, so he waited on the porch, drenched in rain. Suddenly, there was a ruffle among the trees and a dark figure came walking towards him. The scent was now stronger than ever and Snoopy felt a sense of familiarity. The figure came closer, bent down next to Snoopy, and touched him affectionately. Cheers roared from the house as the family swarmed into the porch. The scent was the summer odor of not his foe, but his family. Sana had returned home, after five long years and surprised everyone except him, Snoopy thought as he happily wagged his tail.

Note: The perspective from which the story is narrated is very important. Check the form of the given narration or use the one you are comfortable with. It must be noted that only one form must be used throughout the story.
