News For Dogs

Hook

"Well, too late now, he told himself, going back downstairs and out through the kitchen door, locking it carefully behind him.  Then her crossed the yard to the doghouse and took  a series of pictures.  Finally, when he was satisfied that he had a sufficient evidence to support his claim that the note was taped to the doghouse, he peeled it from the roof, once again being careful to touch only the edges.  His blood ran cold as as he read the message: The first installment of the ransom has been received. The second installment is now due. Leave  and additional $276 in a copy of WHITE FANG  at the Elmwood Library.  Once again, be warned not to go to the police .  If you do, you won't get your dog back, ONLY HIS EARS!
His ears! The vision of Red's beautiful floppy ears , flying behind him like long red streamers when they went on runs, was enough to fill Bruce with anger and fury.Where was he going to find another $276?"( page 169 -170)



Recommendation

Do you like dogs? If you do this is the book for you.  In this book, Bruce bought a dog from his horrible  enemy Jerry. Jerry's cousin came for the summer. He was very nice. He was not like Jerry at all. Andi, Bruce and  Debbie   had a newspaper for dogs. Shortly after Jerry and  his cousin Conner started a newspaper for dogs also. Bruce and Andi's parents went on a trip when everything happened.  Theres a bad situation...a case of dog napping.  Bruce, Andi, Debbie and Aunt Alice are all trying to find out who it is. Andi has a dog Bebe and Friday.  Aunt Alice is allergic to dogs but they shaved Friday and turned her into Lola. I will tell you that when they arrived but  there  was still bad news ahead. If you want to know what the suspicious people did and had to do to get their dogs back I suggest you stop watching TV and get reading!
