Snap was a small black and brown dog. He was the 1 dog of Blossom Street.
One Saturday morning he walked 2 Blossom Street as usual. He sniffed all the doorsteps and lampposts. He wagged his tail at all the children 3 saved scraps for him. He poked his 4 into baby Kelly’s pram. Kelly laughed and touched Snap’s wet nose. Then Snap made sure that the dogs and cats on the street were in their 5 . Dogs had to stay in their own back yards and cats had to sit 6 the back yard walls. That’s if they dared to come out at all. Snap trotted back to his own door. Everything seemed fine on Blossom Street. But everything was not fine.
Snap’s owners, Ada and Harry, were at home. This was 7 . They always went to work on Saturday mornings. There were boxes 8 . Harry was taking a bed 9 . Ada was putting cups into a box. ‘Hello, Snap,’ she said, 10 he came in. Snap sniffed the boxes. ‘You’d better have your Doggy Chunks before the van comes.’ ‘What van?’ Snap thought. He soon found out. A big van 11 to the front of the house. Two men helped Harry and Ada to put all their things in the van.
‘I 12 move away!’ thought Snap. ‘Who’s going to 13 Blossom Street? Who will 14 with the children and keep 15 dogs off the street? 16 will make sure the cats stay on the back yard walls?’
‘Come on, Snap,’ called Harry. ‘Say goodbye to Blossom Street.’ He picked Snap up and put him in the front of the van. The children on Blossom Street came out to wave as the van 17 . Kelly’s mum gave Snap a bit of cake.
As he looked out of the van window, Snap thought, ‘If I move away, how can I do my job? I’m the boss dog of Blossom Street, 18 I can’t stay behind. I can’t leave Ada and Harry. Dogs stay with their 19 . Not like some cats I know. They’ll go anywhere for a 20 fire.’
