Once upon a time, there was a boy called Tom. He had many pets in his house. His favourite pet was the big, white, silky dog. It looked very cute. It had a magical power to talk to everyone.
Tom, during his free time would go for a walk with his dog.
One day, while they were walking they talked casually. The dog said that there are many thieves in their city. Then, Tom asked whether it is true. The dog replied yes, every night those thieves get active and steal. Tom said we must inform the police. The dog said that it will also help him.
That night, Tom didn’t sleep because he wanted to see whether the dog was saying the truth or not. After sometime, Tom saw a group of thieves on his street through his window. He woke his dog and said that the thieves were there. The dog replied that they should hand over the thieves to the police. So, they set about handing over the thieves to the police. They slowly opened the door. The thieves were still there. The dog suddenly barked and bit one of them. The group of thieves were attacked by both Tom and his dog.
Tom called the police and said that they had caught some thieves. The police arrived quickly at Tom’s house and arrested the thieves. The police thanked Tom and his dog.
Tom was proud that he had a detective dog which helps him. The dog was very grateful to his master.
