Down in the Dumps by Furrhan

The City Dump is so much fun! There are so many sights, smells, hidey-holes, rats and things to discover... Today, however, my brothers and I are searching for one thing only: food. I know it sounds gross, but you gotta do what you gotta do. My brothers and I can’t exactly afford to eat out. Heck, they wouldn’t let us in the door anyway. We’ve tried the cute eyes and all that, but it doesn’t seem to work so well when you’re a Staffy puppy who’s covered in trash.

“Hey! Check this out!” barks one of my brothers. I look up from the battered, rusted washing machine I’ve been sniffing around and spot him under an equally decrepit 4X4 teetering atop the next pile of garbage. As I trot over to him my tummy starts rumbling at the mouth-watering aroma of old chicken bones. Finally! Dinner is served!
