Strictly Come Dogs (Part 2)
This story is about my dog, Bob, and he is a Dalmatian cross Collie. He is very nosy and has an opinion about EVERYTHING!
So, what happened next? Well, Bob wrote down the names of his friends on his piece of paper and used his Bone Phone to Doogle (Dog Google) the pop star dogs’ phone numbers. He looked up the first one, and then the next, until he had all of the dogs’ phone numbers.
Bob got on his Bone Phone and started to call all the dogs. And would you believe it, the pop stars’ dogs actually answered their Bone Phones straight away! All the dogs said yes, and thinking about their owners, they asked when it was, where it would be, and what time it started. Luckily, they all agreed that 8pm in London on a Saturday night would be ok!

It was the night of the performance, and all the dogs arrived early, so Bob sent them straight to hair and makeup. And then the show started! All of the dogs were all excited and nervous. Bob announced every dog’s name. First up was Olive, Adam Sandler’s dog, who started singing right away, and she was very good. Next up was Hatchi, Perrie’s dog from Little Mix, who started beautifully, but then kept howling, which got pretty annoying!
They continued through through the whole list of dogs so that the judges could made their decision. Bob did a brilliant job at introducing each dog and putting them at ease so that they could sing their best.
All too soon, it was time for the judges to decide on a winner — who would get to take home the trophy for 2019. The judges took it in turns to speak to each dog, describing how well they each did, and giving them helpful tips and suggestions. When the judges had finished, all of the dogs then chatted amongst themselves, wishing each other luck in winning the trophy. They all agreed that they had all sung their best!
Finally, the judges couldn’t put it off any longer. It was time to announce the winner. The judges handed a sealed envelope to Bob. Bob starting panting with nerves for the dogs before him. All the dogs held each other’s tails, waiting for Bob to open the envelope. It seemed to take FOREVER. “And,” said Bob, “the winner of the 2019 Strictly Come Dogs …”
Everyone held their breath. You could hear a pin drop. Not a claw or a pant could be heard, “is … Nugget!” Katy Perry’s dog couldn’t believe it! The rest of the dogs barked and yipped, yapped and sniffed! They were over the moon for Nugget and licked her until she was soaking wet! Next, Bob handed out miniature trophies to each dog to thank them for being such good sports. It was a night they would all remember forever!
