Hotel for Dogs
It doesn’t start out funny, though. Bruce and Andy’s family has just moved to a new town. Bruce is in sixth grade, and Andy is in fourth. They are staying at their aunt’s house until their parents find a new house. Bruce and Andy aren’t very happy about this because their dog Bebe can’t stay at Aunt Alice’s house with them. Aunt Alice is allergic to dogs. On the first day at Aunt Alice’s house, their aunt introduces Bruce and Andy to Jerry, who lives next door. Jerry is Bruce’s age, and he has a dog named Red Rover. Later that day, Bruce and Andy see Jerry and Red Rover again, in Jerry’s front yard. Jerry is pushing Red Rover to try to make him pull a wagon. Bruce runs over to Jerry and tells him that Red Rover will not like him if he keeps treating him that way, but Jerry tells Bruce to mind his own business. Jerry shoves Andy out of the way and starts to leave. He calls Red Rover to come with him. But Red Rover just moves over closer to Bruce. Bruce and Andy miss Bebe. When Andy walks home from school each day, she pretends that Bebe is walking along behind her. One rainy morning, Andy sees a cute little white dog sitting on Aunt Alice’s porch to keep dry. She picks up the little dog and pets it. She wishes she could keep it. When she comes home from school that day and goes to her closet, there on the floor is the little white dog. And three tiny puppies! Andy doesn’t know what to do. She knows the dog can’t stay in Aunt Alice’s house. She is afraid if she tells Bruce he will tell their parents, and then the dog and her puppies will have to go. What finally happens is that when Andy tells Bruce, he helps her keep the secret. They find a house nearby with no one living in it and take the little dog and its puppies there. They make a nice bed for the dogs, and every day they take them food, and play with them. They are also careful to keep the house clean. Then Red Rover runs away from Jerry, and shows up at the house where Bruce and Andy are keeping the little white dog and her puppies. They let Red Rover stay there too. The house is becoming a regular dog hotel! Before long more dogs are added, and Bruce and Andy let two friends in on the secret. The two friends are a big help, but things just keep getting crazier and crazier.
