      Grover, Stretch and the Broken Leg - Claire Garth

      Adventures

      CHAPTER 1

      Grover McBane was SOOO thirsty after a hard day’s work as the Office Dog at the animal shelter. He’d spent most of the afternoon trying to stop two labrador puppies from jumping all over the place and knocking things over. He trotted over to his water bowl and slurped up as much water as he could.

      Grover loved his job – he felt proud looking after all the animals at the shelter, making them feel safe and helping them find new forever homes. He could still remember how scared he had been when he first arrived at the shelter after escaping the Man with Big Boots. Back then he couldn’t have imagined the wonderful life he had now, living with Annie and David at Cavendish Lane. He had lots of toys and tennis balls to play with, and his own wonderfully soft bed. He couldn’t be happier!

      Just as Grover was about to see if Annie was ready to go home, Banjo the Office Cat wandered in.

      The animal shelter had become so busy they’d decided they needed an Office Cat as well as an Office Dog! At first Grover was NOT HAPPY about working with a cat, but Banjo was nothing like Grover’s neighbour, mean Mr Tibbles. Banjo was a five-year-old ginger rescue cat. He’d arrived at the shelter really ill, but he’d slowly recovered. Now that Banjo was better, he helped care for new cats. Although he also spent a lot of time napping.

      Banjo jumped up onto the desk. ‘Hey Grover,’ he said, ‘did you check out that kid who came in earlier today? Man, that little puppy’s sure had a rough ride.’

      ‘No. What happened to him?’

      ‘Dr Cole found him by the front door of the shelter. He’s only ten weeks old, AND he’s got a broken leg, poor kid.’

      Grover was shocked. ‘A broken leg? How did he do that?’

      ‘No idea, but he’s with Dr Cole now. She’s decided to call him Stretch. I think she’s putting a plaster cast on his leg. I heard her say she hasn’t seen a break that bad in a long time.’

      Grover felt so sorry for the puppy. He couldn’t imagine what it would feel like to have a broken leg.

      ‘And the worst thing is,’ Banjo continued, ‘Annie and Dr Cole have tried to find out who brought him to the shelter, but they haven’t had any luck. It looks like no one is coming to get him. At least he’s in good hands here. I reckon this is a case for you, buddy! Now, I’ve got to scram. There’s a half-eaten can
