The Epic Of King's Adventure Chapter 1 On the shore of the Lake Of Luck, there was a house that, on the outside, looked normal, but in the inside, was famous. It was not famous for the grandness, or the looks, not even for the people that lived there, but for the dogs that lived there. This is how the dogs got famous: There was one adult German Shepherd named Duddsy, and her six puppies: Doodles, Brownie, Pipsy, Minny, Kibbie and King. All of them were very good friends, they played, ate and rested with each other. One morning, while they were playing puppy pile, a strange man stepped into the room. He had a black puppy-crate. He talked to Mary(the owner of the house) and then he walked toward them. All of the puppies huddled back to their mom, shaking all over. Then the man bent down and picked up Minny. The puppies were frightened. The next day, a girl walked in. The puppies didn’t know who she was, you see, she was reading a book called: The Man On Mars. While reading, she couldn’t see, so instead of talking to Mary, she just ran into Mary. Then she ran into a box and said “Hi puppies.” After figuring out there were no puppies there, she stopped reading and the puppies saw it was a young girl. She looked around and saw the puppies, then she started reading again. As she was coming closer, the puppies came up with a plan: Doodles, Pipsy and King would go left, Brownie and Kibbie would go right and Duddsy would stay and bark to cover the noise of the puppies nails on the hardwood floor. When the girl got there she was very confused, she looked up and found out their plan. She was impressed with their plan and said, ”Oh you smart little puppies.” She 1 leaned over and picked up Pipsy. Doodles and Brownie got picked up too, and only Kibbie and King were left. It was pretty boring for them with only two. Then the family they were living with decided to adopt them. The puppies were very excited because they get to stay at home. One day Mary went to a police dog show, she thought that King, Kibbie and Duddsy would enjoy it so she brought them along. The dogs did enjoy it and it changed Kings life forever because his destiny then was to be a police dog. He knew it wasn’t easy. At the end of the show, he went to the top dog to see how he acts, but his goal was to make it so that Sarge(the top dog) did not notice him. King did not want to make fun of himself in front of Sarge or he would not be a police dog. He walked up behind Sarge, who then noticed him. Sarge suddenly seemed excited when he saw King so King asked why. King’s answer was that apparently King was famous, Sarge noticed that he seemed very confused, so Sarge asked why. King had thought that Mary wanted to keep him because he was cute, but then he knew she wanted him because he was famous. Sarge told King that he was famous for the spot on his forehead that just happened to be in the shape of a heart. King went to the point of why he came to see Sarge, and asked if he would ever be a police dog when he grew up. Sarge thought for a moment and then said “If you practice hard, concentrate in class and become a strong dog you might have a chance of becoming one, you know, no one ever wakes up one day and is a police dog. You are famous so you have a slight better chance of being one. If you want, I will give you personal lessons on being a police dog.” “Oh, I would love to!!!” King said, happy with the way things had turned out. 2 King trotted away happily, hoping for the best. After that, every saturday, King would have a lesson, and King thought that Sarge was a really good teacher because Sarge was very patient at it and knew what he was doing. Chapter 2 After some training, King felt very professional, he knew that now he had a better chance of being a police dog. He only had one problem, Mary and the dogs were going on a vacation. They were going to a quiet place near the Plateau Of Possibility where they were going to celebrate the puppies first birthday, they were traveling by plane. By the time they got to the airport, King could smell that something was not right. It smelled like fear, but usually it smelled like hamburgers and ketchup. Just as he was about to investigate it, the P.A. said “ALL PASSENGERS BOARD AT GATE A48, ALL PASSENGERS BOARD AT GATE A48.” A48 was their gate so they hurried to their plane. While boarding the plane, King could smell fear even stronger. He was about to sneeze when a club whacked him on the head. King barely could smell who did it. When he finally was able to get up he saw that every single human was knocked out and lying on the ground. King could smell the smell that belonged to the person who whacked him on the head and walked toward it. The person was not happy to see King, and swung the club at him. King dodged it and growled. He needed help so he barked a command at Kibbie, who he had trained when he came home from lessons. Kibbie understood, she ran over to help. She growled and they cornered the person. 3 King barked to Duddsy and she woke up Mary. Mary called the police (they were still at the gate) and tied up the robber. They were still guarding the robber when the police came in and took the robber away. When everyone woke up the pilot congratulated them. Since the flight had been canceled, they went home to take a nap, they were exhausted. When the nap was over King went over to the police station to tell Sarge what happened, when he told Sarge, Sarge said that he needed to call a meeting with all the other police dogs. During the meeting, King went home to take a nap. When he could sleep no longer, he went back to the station to see if the meeting was done. When he got there they were done. Sarge walked up to King smiling,I've got good news, I've got good news, and I've got good news, which one do you want first?” “Good news.” “You are going to be a police dog” “What could be better news?” “Your sister will be one, too” “Well, what could be better than that? “You're going to be top dog” “Well,what will you be?” “I will be the rank under you” “What will Kibbie be?” “The rank under me” “WOW!” 4 After that, they had a party for King’s arrival and he was happy to run the K-9 station for a long time. 5
