Chapter 1
The main character is sprite. Sprite was on his way to a dog show at the local park. Sprite’s owner is Nick. Today, the dog show is held. When they arrived at the show, Nick put Sprite in an area with lots of other dogs. Sprite talks with other many dogs.
At last, the contest is about to start. Nick took Sprite to get ready. The first round was to find the best looking dog. One by one, the judges examined the dogs. They stroked their coats… looked in their ears… tapped their teeth… and peered at their paws. Sprite was footsore. Because his foot was stepped by a man before the show starts.
The next test was dog control. Sprite followed Nick’s commands to sit and stay. Then Nick called Sprite to his side. But Sprite could only hobble. His paw was too sore to run.
The final test was the obstacle course. After that, the test was done one after another. Suddenly the cup was stolen!! Sprite got a whiff of a smell he knew. It came from one of the judge. Sprite grabbed the man’s leg. Sprite won first prize for catching the thief.

Mr. Tike couldn’t afford to repair his dog’s home. So he was selling the creaking old building, along with his dogs. The dogs were sad to see Mr. Tike go. He’d rescued them and given them a safe home.
One day, two strangers arrived at Tike’s. “We want to buy your sweet little doggy home,” said Mrs. Hood. In the yard, the dogs rushed up to greet the visitors.
Two days later, the new owners took over. Mr. Tike had gone. The dogs thought that it had to go out of here. Then one in this dog gripped the keys. The dogs freed and they ran into the house. A scrapbook was on the table. “Hood and Wink are bank robbers.”
Just then, the dogs heard voices and ran into the yard. The dogs leapt onto Mr. Wink’s head, bit him on the bottom. Then grabbed Mrs. Hood’s necklace, teeth into her jacket… They are run away.
The dogs chased the crooks to the local police station. The police decided to give the reward money for catching Hood and Wink to Mr. Tike.
After that, Mr. Tike built a brand new one.
