in the correct box

Floppy did not want to be

neither the Dog of the Year

nor a super dog. He just

wanted to be himself.

The children were watching

the “Dog of the Year” Show on

television.

Floppy was pleased because

he just wanted to find a quiet

place to go to sleep. He went

in Biff’s room.

In the city, he saved a baby

who was in a runaway pram,

he got an old lady’s handbag

back and saved a little boy at

the dock. Floppy also saved a

lost dog from some mean

dogs. At the end he also

saved a man who slipped and

could not get off from the

girder.

Biff liked Pepper the most

while Kipper liked Raffles.

Pepper won the show.

Then the key glowed and took

Floppy in the big city of San

Francisco.

The children went swimming

with Wilma’s mum.
