Answer:

Holly is walking down the street when she comes across a big dog. The dog was big, smelly, and hyper. It jumped on Holly and ruined her dress. She walks her way back home and tells her mother everything that happened.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first sentence, the word come, was changed to comes to fix the grammatical error. The word acrros, was changed to across, as it was a spelling error. The second sentence was broken up into two sentences as it was first, a run off sentence, and two, it had no transitional element to combine the sentences. "," were also placed in the sentence, as it was listing adjectives describing the dog, on a consecutive basis. The name Holly, first letter wasn't capitalized in the second sentence, so it was changed for grammatical purposes. Lastly the word ruined was misspelled, as runied, in the original story, so it was fixed. The last sentence was grammatically correct and had no spelling errors.
