Spud

This book is about a dog called Spud who does everything he wants but one day his owner has to go to Turkey. Spud hears his owner talking about it to her friends on the phone and Spud thinks she's going to eat turkey for two weeks. Spud's owner doesn't know what to do with him so she talks to her friends and one decides to look after him. When the new owner took him for walks he would always pull so hard that the owner would fall over and later that day he escaped. When he escaped he went to his house and saw that it was all locked up and then another person called Mrs Mavis clipped Spud on a lead and took Spud into a car. Mrs Mavis has lots of dogs that are very well trained and Mrs Mavis is very strict with her dogs. When Spud went to sleep at Mrs Mavis's house he woke up and started eating everything in the cupboard because he was starving. Then Mrs Mavis woke up and came into his room and saw he had been eating everything and then Spud started being sick and Mrs Mavis kicked him outside and he climbed under the fence and a little kid called Rosie saw him. She took him home and asked her mum if she could have him until his owner gets back but her mum said no. Rosie took Spud to the cat lady's house. Spud started to feel a little bit better because he could chase cats. About three days later Spud's owner came home. He was so happy. Spud is back to normal doing what he wants and eating chocolates.
