Book Cover & Preview Text
Get off the road!” Waggles continued to howl at the top of his lungs, while trying to get away himself from the oncoming car.
Waggles barely escaped the fast moving black rubber tires of the oncoming car. He almost hid his eyes, afraid of what he would see when he looked again. He was terrified of seeing his little pink friend beside the road, struck by the vehicle.
The truck did not stop, but continued on down the road, maintaining its speed. Waggles searched the dusty air and the road, listening for squeals or seeing his friend cast to the side of the road.
“Bob! Bob! Where are you?” Waggles stopped and listened. “Bob, where are you? This isn’t funny! Come out, come out!” Waggles pleaded. He listened again intently, but no answering call came. Where had Bob gone? “Oh no,” he wailed. “Where had Bob gone? Was he caught on the front grill of the car? Had he been squashed under the car?” Waggles began to whale even more as he realized the terrible possibilities. Bob had not been alone anywhere but his house, his porch, his owner’s living room, only safe places.
