Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy. With Tails in the air, they trotted on down past the shops and the park to the far end of town. They sniffed at the smells and they snooped at each door when suddenly out of the shadows they saw an animal control person and he took them away.
THE END
Hey there Samuel, thank you for completing this Hairy Maclary story. It was a good little read. I liked how you've captured the habits of a dog - sniffing at the smells and snooping at each door. It sounds exactly like a dog I used to know, he was so nosy and curious.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens next after animal control took them away??
Thanks, Samuel, can't wait to hear more.
