The Homework Hungry Dog

Max had just come home from school and he was just going to do his homework. His dog just kept getting excited. He didn’t know why. Max was tall and skinny. He has brown hair. He really wanted to do his homework. “I really want to do my homework!” he said.

Max finished his homework and then put it on the short table. When Max wasn’t looking, his VERY HUNGRY DOG, Casey took a nip at his homework. Without knowing, Max went to bed.

When he got up he went to put his homework in his backpack. It wasn’t there! Where is it? Max thought. Casey burped. Max rolled his eyes. I should’ve known. Max thought.

When Max went to school he was miserable. The teacher had drilled him for making up an excuse that his dog ate his homework (which he didn’t). It was horrible (for him). The others thought it was kind of funny. They also kind of believed him. His teachers didn’t believe him.

For example, his math teacher Mr. Pototo (POT-OT-O) just thought that he threw it away. “I don’t know why you did this,” said Mr. Pototo.

When he came home from school he took his dog for a walk. Then he started his [extra] homework as usual. This time when he finished he put it on a high table. He went to bed after watching TV…. (Spoiler alert!) It fell off the table and his dog ate it.

When he woke up his homework was gone! A familiar burp…

Max suggested getting a dog trainer. When the dog came back, after a few weeks, she didn’t try to eat his homework anymore! The dog trainer worked! He was happy. He was off the hook with all of his teachers. Nevertheless, he still had lots of homework.
