The boss dog of Blossom Street
1. Snap was a small black and brown
dog. He was the boss dog of Blossom Street.
One Saturday morning he walked up and
down Blossom Street as usual.
He
sniffed all the doorsteps and lampposts. He wagged
his tail at all the children who
saved
scraps
for
him.
He poked
his
head
into baby Kelly
?
s
pram. Kelly
laughed and
touched Snap
?
s
wet nose.
Then Snap
made
sure that the dogs and cats on
the
street
were
in
their places.
Dogs
had to stay in their own back yards and
cats had to sit on the back yard walls.
That
?
s if
they
dared to come out at all.
Snap
trotted
back
to
his
own
door.
Everything
seemed
fine
on
Blossom
Street.
But
everything was not fine.
Snap
?
s
owners,
Ada
and
Harry
,
were
at
home.
This
was
odd.
They
always
went
to
work
on
Saturday
mornings.
There
were
boxes
everywhere.
Harry
was
taking
a
bed
apart. Ada was putting
cups into a box.
“
Hello,
Snap,
”
she said, as he came
in.
Snap
sniffed
the
boxes.
“
Y
ou
?
d
better
have
your
Doggy
Chunks
before
the
van
comes.
”
“
What
van?
”
Snap
thought.
He
soon
found
out.
A
big
van
came
to
the
front
of
the
house. Two men helped Harry and Ada to
put all their things in the van.
“I
can
?
t move
away!
”
thought Snap.
“
Who
?
s
going to look after Blossom Street? Who
will play with the children and keep
the other dogs off the street? Who will make sure
the cats stay on the back yard
walls?
”
“
Come on,
Snap,
”
called
Harry
.
“
Say
goodbye to Blossom Street.
”
He picked Snap up
and put him in the
front of the van.
The
children
on
Blossom
Street
came
out
to
wave
as
the
van
set
off.
Kelly
?
s
mum
gave Snap a bit of cake.
As he looked out of the van window Snap
thought,
“
If I move
away
, how can I do my
job?
I?
m the boss dog of Blossom
Street, but I can
?
t stay
behind. I can
?
t leave Ada
and
Harry
.
Dogs
stay with
their owners. Not
like some cats I know.
They
?
ll
go
anywhere
for a warm
fire.
”
2, The van
had to go slowly all the way to the new house.
There was a big orange bus
in front of
it. Snap watched the bus and it gave him an idea.
By the time he got to the
new house he
had a plan.
The plan could help him to
be boss dog of Blossom Street, even if he
didn
?
t live there
any more.
Snap
felt a bit
happier when
he
jumped out of the
van.
He went to sniff every
corner
of his new home.
The
next day was Sunday and
Ada
and Harry
had
to
unpack things.
The
new
house
had a
garden at the back instead of a yard.
“
The dogs round here stay in
their own gardens,
”
Ada told
Snap.
“
There
?
s no strutting
about being boss
dog.
I?
ll take you for a
walk later.
”
Snap
went to see what was at the end of the
garden and
he
heard of a
yapping sound.
Something was
trying to
get through
the
fence.
It was a
little
Y
orkie dog
with a red
ribbon tied in a
bow on top of its head.
