She was abandoned when her first "people"
moved out of their house. They left
her tied in the back yard. This is the
story of how she was saved and became a very important part of
her foster families life. Please enjoy Dumdog's adventures!
PROLOGUE
A well aimed kick at the puppy’s side sent it cart wheeling into the tree.
“You dumb dog! You’ve dumped your water dish again. Too bad, I’m not gonna fill it up this time.
You’re just going to have to suffer”
“Marty what are you doing to that dog this time?”
“That dumb dog dumped her water dish out again and I ain’t
gonna fill it up this time. She can just do without!”
“She’s just a pup! She’ll learn in time.”
She’s a stupid dog and too dumb to learn anything.
She ain’t going with us when we move this weekend.
I’ve had it with her. She can just stay here and somebody else
can deal with her.” The man stomped back into the house and slammed the door.

CHAPTER 1
My name Dumdog. That’s what my people called me. Dumdog.
I don’t like that name. I not dum. My people not here.
They been gone long time. One day they here then they gone.
Just like that. I think it been years since
they left me here. I can’t go nowhere. I tied to a tree.
I hungry. No one feed me for a while. I thirsty too.
My water dish empty. Nobody give me water for a while either.
I both hungry and thirsty. I miss people. My tummy is grumbling
at me. It says “GRRRRROOOOWWWLLLL”. It says that a lot lately. I really hungry.
I hope someone feed me soon. I hope someone give me water soon.
I just lay here under the tree. Nothing to do and no one to play with. I lonely too.
I hope people come soon to feed and water me and play with me.
