A Dogs Life

A Dogs Life is a story of a stray pup born in a unused shed in the Merrions yard. The mother of the pup was very pregnant when she found this very warm and comfy shed. She had to share it with cats and mice.

That night she slept in straw, then in the morning she found a wheelbarrow and gave birth to five puppies. Two were born dead, one only lived for a hour, so that made only two left. Dogs name their pups after what they like so the girl pup(who is the main dog in this story) was named Squirrel, and the boy pup was named Bone.

Squirrel and Bone loved to play quietly and hid behind the shed. Their mother taught them how to hunt small animals to eat and taught them how to stay clear of humans.

One day mother was going to get food from the garbage heap and she never came back to their nest in the shed. One day a Merrion boy found the pups and started to feed them chicken every day. One day Bone heard the sound of a gun and left the shed towards the woods with Squirrel at his heels.

Where will they go? Will they survive?
