The Boss Dog of
Blossom Street
By Rita Ray
1
Snap was a small black and
brown dog. He
was the boss dog of
Blossom Street.
One
Saturday morning he walked up and
down
Blossom Street as usual.
He sniffed all the doorsteps and
lampposts.
He wagged his tail at all
the children who saved
scraps for him.
He poked his head 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
places. Dogs had to stay
in their own
back yards and cats had to sit on 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,
A
da and Harry, were at home.
This was odd. They always went to work
on
Saturday mornings. There were boxes
everywhere.
Harry was taking a bed
apart. Ada was putting
cups into a box.
‘Hello, Snap,’
she said, as he came in. snap
sniffed
the boxes. ‘You’d be
tter have your
Doggy
Chunks before the van comes.’
‘What van?’ Snap
thought. He soon found
out. A big van came to the
front of the
house. Two men helped Harry and Ada
to
put all their things in the van.
‘I can’t move
away!’ thought Snap. ‘Who’s
going to
look after Blossom Street? Who will play
with the children and keep the other
dogs off the
street? Who 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 set off. 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, but
I can’t stay
behind. I can’t leave Ada and Harry.
Dogs stay
with their owners. Not like
some cats I know.
They’ll go anywhere
for a warm fire.’

The van had to go slowly
all the way to the
new house. There was
a big orange bus in front of
it. Snap
watched the bus and it gave him an idea.
By the time he got to the new house he
had a plan.
The
plan could help him to be boss dog of
Blossom Street, even if he didn’t live
there any
more.
Snap felt a bit happier when he jumped
out of
the van. He went to sniff every
corner of his new
home. The next day
was Sunday and Ada and
Harry had to
unpack things. The new house had a
garden at the back instead of a yard.
‘The dogs round
here stay in their own
gardens,’ Ada
told Snap. ‘There’s no strutting
about
being
boss dog. I’ll take you for a
walk

later.’
Snap went to see what was at the end of the
garden and he heard a yapping sound.
Something
was trying to get through the
fence. It was a little
Yorkie dog with
a red ribbon tied in a bow on top
of
its head. Snap c
ouldn’t believe it.
‘Ugh!’ he
thought. ‘What a wimp! That’s
not a real dog!
They wouldn’t have a
dog like that on Blossom
Street.’
He didn’t even
bother to bark at the little dog.
He
heard its owner call, ‘Foofoo, Foofoo pie!
Come to Mummy.’ ‘Yuk!’ thought Snap.
‘Let me
get back to Blossom Street.’
On Monday
morning Harry and Ada went to
work.
‘I’ve left a key next door,’ said Ada to Snap.
‘Foofoo’s owner will let you out in the
garden, and
we’ll be home at five
o’clock.’
‘Will you stop talking to
th
at dog as if he
understands?’ said Harry.
‘What do you
mean? Of course he
understands, don’t
you, Snap?’ said Ada.
Later, Foofoo’s owner unlocked the door
into
the garden. ‘Good,’ thought Snap.
He ran into the
garden and started to
dig a hole. ‘Bad doggie,’
