DEDICATION to all the boys and girls who ran over the green hills of Edendale and to one old black shepherd dog "Beachy"

THE CAR stopped and a shaggy little dog named Rags was pushed into the street. Rags' owner was very angry.

"That's the last slipper of mine that you'll chew up!" he said, and sped away.

Rags stood in the street.

"So that was it," he thought. "But he had so many slippers in his closet, how was I to know he'd mind if I just chewed a few?"

The street was wide and empty and Rags was frightened. What was a small dog to do? What could he do? Of course ... he must find another home!

"Woof! Woof!" he said, and wagged his tail.

The lady turned.

"Oh, you dirty, ragged creature!" she cried, "Get off my lawn!" And with that, she turned the water upon him.

Rags ran. He didn't want a home in that lady's house or in her neighborhood... Continue reading book >>
