Life as a Show Dog

Chapter 4

        The next night I came up with a plan, I would talk to all of the dogs here and ask them to disobey all commands, even if it cost us pain. Then the people might send us free if were not worth it any more. We all need to act crazy and awful, and if we have to, unleash our instincts. I quickly collected all the dogs together and explained my plan, I was very glad they all agreed to do it. That morning when it was time to be washed and groomed it was very crazy. The German Shepherd started jumping in the water and splashing, the people got soaked. The Great Dane just laid outside the tub and growled when ever someone tried to move him, he even threatened to bite someone when they touched him. The poodle failed to be bad. The Doberman actually bit someone, sending them to the hospital, he also chewed up the shampoo bottles, which could make him very sick. I destroyed the combs. Cloe yapped in a high pitch tone for a while and annoyed the people a lot.  Labrador ran in circles around the room, Golden Retriever kept jumping up at people and knocking them over, and Burmese Mountain Dog just laid on the floor starring people down in a threatening way.

       After a while the people grabbed tranquilizer darts and leashes so we had to retreat quickly to the training room. Inside are start cages we scratched at them and barked madly. When the people released us to do the track we ran around the room and bit and scratched at the equipment until they forces us into cages with darts again. After they moved us into a dark room and locked us in metal cages we quieted down. Every one in awhile we would all started barking as loud and deep as we could for a few minutes. When someone came in to feed us, Doberman attacked some one by biting them, barking madly, and scratching them. Soon they tranquilized him and sent the second person to the hospital. After a few hours of the dark room a person came in and tranquilized all of us and after a while I woke up at the vet. All the other dogs where in there too.

        A friendly looking vet walked over to me and out a scanner up to the back of my neck and gasped as she ran over to her computer and pulled up a file of lost dogs. She quickly called in three other vets and one looked at file while others scanned the dogs. Apparently there are chips in all our necks that identify who we are and where we live. The vets started calling our owners to tell them we've been found when suddenly the dognappers came in, threw us in cages, took us all out of the vet, and threw us in cages, and threw the cages in the truck.

        When we arrived at the old, abandoned house the men ran in to tell the girls what happened. I quickly saw the opportunity to escape and bit at the latch on my cage till it opened, I was free! I quickly helped the other dogs undo there their latches. When all of us were free I lead everyone out of the truck and we ran into a near by forest. I watched as the men came back and started yelling angerly. Suddenly one started running towards me and I barked at the others to run. After running for a while the men gave up and now they were dog less. Then I heard police sirens heading for their area to arrest the dog nappers. We all jumped for joy. 

"How do we tell where our homes are?" Cloe said loudly so we could all here. Suddenly questions started floating all over the place till I barked loudly to quiet everyone down. 

"How about we form a pack?!" One dog said, I couldn't see who said it. 

"Ya!" Another spoke out. 

"Lets all travel to our homes together as a pack!" Another shouted. We all talked about it for a few minutes and decided to do it. 

"Who is Alpha and who is Beta?"  The Poodle asked. 

"Thats a good question. First lets all get to know each other then we'll  decide, how about that." I responded with. 

"That sounds great!" Cloe barked.
