Shape-Shifter

Chapter 10

"Wait!"The sheriff shouted and held a hand up to us. "We need to name the dogs!" He shouted cheerfully. I went back to the handler dude and watched him."First, check the dogs gender." most people got down and checked while my handler went down too and checked me. They all shouted names, from the first person."Zuck,Marlen, Jolcko,Mark," Tank was fith, "Rebel!" the girl shouted happily then it went down one more, "Jerry!" the next one will be me! "Zero." I looked up happily and wagged my tail.

"Okay let's get started, line up by the obstacles." We all turned towards the obstacles. Pulling on my leash he tightened his posture as I stood up in a challenging stance towards the other dogs.Huffing I stayed in that stance and when it was Tank's time to go on a A-shaped obstacle I woofed quietly watching her go up it with ease.It seems like my handler and the sheriff are the only ones I will listen to right now. Jerry went up to it and freaked out yelping and trying to get away from it. 

I felt my handler start to walk towards it. Why walk when I can run? I started pulling at the lead. He let go and I ran slowly towards it as he sped up. Once I was by the edge I jumped over it landing at the top. I turned side ways and it was slightly taller than him. Making puppy noises accidentaly at him I clamped my mouth shut careful not to make it again.I smelt hot dog come out of his pants pockets as he grinned. I licked my lips and watched it go down the frame. Whinning softly I went on my belly crawling down it to get to the hot dog. 

Once I was close enough to it I snapped my teeth around the hot dog and ate it.I looked up to my amused handler as I wagged my tail at him. Hot dogs and peanut butter are the best foods ever! "Now that, that show is over with Zero we will be going to the tunnel." they lined us up at the tunnels and I waited as we had seven tunnels, enough for us to go threw. I barked loudly as he held me back from going in it. Pulling at the lead and going up on my hind legs I continued to bark. I flipped around every once in a while as I tried to go threw it. I layed down with my ears pinned back as he started saying, "Zero calm down girly, calm." my handler tried to sooth. I started making noises as the sheriff said,"Three, two, one...GO!" I barked powerfully as I bolted to the tunnel and to the dark. It made noises like a water bottel creaking as I bolted threw it. It felt like it rolled some as I finished. Panting heavily I noticed no one else had made it threw yet.

"That's all for right now I just wanted to see what dogs know what to do." The sheriff called out.My handler patted me on the head.I looked at his chest, his name was Chad.  "You will bring the dogs home. Tomorrow we will se what dogs will be placed where!" He boomed as I gazed up into my handlers eyes. I stood up as he grabed my leash and starting walking with me. I put my head down and went a foot away from him as I walked. My tail swished and blew hairs every were making me jump and snap at the wind. He tugged on my leash a little while swaying it back and forth. Growling at him I caught the leash and walked by his side making him hunch down before picking himself back up. He brought me to a cop car which I don't know how he got. I turned back pulling his body with me as I saw everyone get into a car. I turned back around as he let me jump into the back of the car.

He slamed my door shut making me yelp and quickly turn to look at the door. It was so small in here! He opened his door putting the key into ignition as we reved the engine speeding down the road. Is that even legal? Huffing I curled my tail up by my side and put my head on his seat thing. My nose sat on his shoulder as I breathed.He slowed  down slightly reaching his right hand and shoving my head off. He put his car into 45 as the speed and clicked something that let him stay at a cruise. He put on music as Nickelback's shaking hands music was playing. I barked at it happily as he drummed his fingers on the steering wheel.

I zoned out as the building zoomed past us. I zoned back in as I heard a loud bang of a car door being closed and another being opened. I perked my ears and saw it was my door. He picked my leash up and I jumped out slowly. I looked up at the house seeing it tower over us but it seemed to be like there was another car there so another person was living here.
