"A Dog's Life"

"The Hook"

'There was a chicken in the bag and Bone and I both knew it. My mouth started to water as I stood at the edge of the field, seperated from the chicken by two lanes of cars. When a truck whizzed by me, I jumped back yelping. But Bone looked as though he were getting ready to bolt across the road and hope for the best. Suddenly one of the cars that had just come by, pulled to the side of the road and screeched to a stop. Then a car door slammed shut as footsteps and voices clattered and whispered.'(back of the book)
