The man took Rocco to a shelter for stray dogs.
There were lots of dogs there and it was very noisy.
“Who have we here?” said a woman, who Rocco
guessed was Maria.
“I found him on the rubbish tip scavenging for food
all on his own,” the man said. “He looked cold and
hungry and I thought I should bring him to you.
Maria, can you take him in?”
Maria knew she should say
no, she already had over
400 dogs in the shelter
and was struggling
to cope, but he was
such a handsome little
chap. “Go on then,
put him in with the
puppies,” she sighed.
“Hey, what’s your name? How long have you been
here?” Rocco asked excitedly. It was such fun having
other doggies to play with and talk to and kiss and
steal food from.
