BOOK REVIEWS #5 (stories of DOGS)


This book is made up of three dog stories. So, each stories have each characters. First one is "Top dog". Main character is Sprite. He is a pet dog of Nick. They aim to win a dog show. Next is "Titch to the rescue". This story is an incompetent sheep dog, Titch's story. He hopes to be a great sheep dog like his father, Bryn for his owner, Owen. Last one is "Trouble at Tile's". A lot of dogs appear in this story. And more, one good man, Mr. Tike and two robbers take an important role upon themselves.


One day, Sprite injured his paw. One scruffy and smelly man stepped on Sprite's paw! It was a heavy blow for Sprite aiming to win a dog show. Sure enough, Sprite's performance was terribly. But the trouble occured. A trophy was stolen by someone! At then, Sprite suspects that one judge's smell is same as the man's who stepped on Sprite's paw. Sprite thought that "He is not a judge!" Sprite grabbed his leg! Then the trophy rolled out from the man's inside of the breast! Sprite had the credit for catching the thief, won the first prize!


At a certain place, one shepherd and two sheep dogs live. One sheep dog is excellent. The name is Bryn. The other is Bryn's son. But he is a sheep dog full of faults. His name is Titch. And their owner is Owen. One day, they went for a walk. But then, Owen and Bryn missed their footing and fell into the hall. Unfortunately, Owen was unconscious. Titch rushed to a farmhouse of Mr. Ellis who is a friend of Owen to call for help. But of course, Mr. Ellis can't understand what Titch want to say. So, Titch set free Mr. Ellis's sheep and drove ahead to the place which Owen and Bryn is. Finally, Mr. Ellis found them and rescue from the hall. A week later, Titch won a medal for his bravely.


Mr. Tike had a lot of dogs, but he had to sell his house and his dogs for lack of funds. The dogs grew sad about that because Mr. Tike was a very gentle man. They hoped that next owner is also gently like Mr. Tike. One day, two people visited Mr. Tike's house. They are Mrs. Hood and Mr. Wink, and new owners of the dogs and the house. After Mr. Tike sold the house them, they suddenly changed. They kept the dogs penned in a cage! And then, one small dog, Pip sliped put of the cage and found one scrapbook in the house. From the scrapbook, the dogs that Mrs. Hood and Mr. Wink are bank robbers escaping from jail. And they bought this house to search for the gold bars to hide them before this house was built. The dogs got angry, handed over them to the police in cooperation with all the dogs. Mr. Tike got the reward money and rebuilt the new house with that. Finally, Mr. Tike and his great dogs lived so happily.

Actually, I like dogs very much! So these three stories are so exciting and made me smaile. I became to want to have a dog! Especially, I like french bulldogs. Their faces are so cute for me!
