      Grover, Benji and Nanna Jean - Claire Garth

      10

      CHAPTER 1

      With his head halfway out the car window and the wind in his thick, fluffy coat, Grover McBane was grinning. The trip to work was his favourite part of the day!

      Now that he was the Office Dog at the animal shelter, Grover’s days were busier than ever. It was very different from the sad and lonely life he had lived with The Man With Big Boots.

      Since being rescued and going to live at Cavendish Lane with Annie and David, Grover had realised that every dog (and yes, even every cat) deserved a life filled with love and adventure. Now, along with Annie and Dr Cole, Grover helped to make sure that new arrivals to the animal shelter had their own second chance. It was hard work at times, but it was still the best job EVER!

      Grover met all sorts of animals there: dogs, cats, ducks, rabbits and birds. Once he even met a baby goat named Vincent! Sometimes Grover would help scared animals, and sometimes he spent the whole day just trying to get new arrivals to stop jumping all around the office. Puppies were the hardest to deal with. Grover now understood why they were so cute – it was so you couldn’t get mad at them!

      I wonder who I’ll meet today, Grover thought, as they drove the last few blocks to the shelter.

      When he walked through the office door, Grover headed straight for his fluffy round bed. It looked perfectly plump and ready for him to collapse onto. He’d run pretty hard at the park that morning before work, so a quick little nine a.m. nap was just what he needed.

      As he settled in for a little shut-eye, Grover heard footsteps approaching. He opened one eye and saw Annie and Dr Cole’s feet appear at his side.

      ‘Grover,’ said Annie, ‘we have a new little dog we’d like you to hang out with in here today. Can you wriggle over a little so he has some room on the bed?’ She softly nudged Grover’s side, and he moved across.

      ‘He’s a bit special, Grover, so I’ll need you to keep an eye out for him,’ said Dr Cole.

      I hope this new dog is up for a nap, because I’m beat! Grover thought.

      Dr Cole left the room, and when she returned she was holding a small, orangey-brown fluffball. It was the fluffiest dog Grover had ever seen!
