Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 28, 2010
Transcript:
Oh no! I must've left my lunch on the porch when I stopped to retie my shoelace. Rover, run home and bring it here before the bus arrives! Hurry, boy, hurry! Zoom Criminy! Here comes the bus now. Rover, I knew you'd come through! Thanks buddy! School Whatdya have to trade? Lettuce from a sandwich... A dozen cookie crumbs... Six carrot sticks... And a partially eaten apple that someone tried to put the stem back in.

What did you expect, Red? Rover’s got to be rewarded for his good deed. He just took it in advance.

And I think it was “Garfield’s Law” that said “Never trust a cat to guard your lasagna.”

I think Rover must be an exceptionally good dog – my dogs would never have left the lettuce, carrot sticks, or cookie crumbs.
