The Backwards Bird dog

Author’s Note: This story is simply a point of view from a hunting dog. The reason I got this book because I wanted to see whats it is about and it has a awkward title.

It was an awful sound as Old Blue howled at night, the sound crept through our kennel. As the sun came over the trees all of my sisters and brothers started to just wake up. As our owner got us breakfast all of my sisters and brothers ran to the bowl to eat ,we were so hungry we could barely wait. After all of us ate we started to play around, when I was chasing my sister around the kennel my feet slipped through the wired kennel and I hit my chin really hard but I got up fast and stilled played around as we were playing this big machine came by and parked then these weird people started to come up to me and started to pet me I asked my mom what is that and she said that they are our owners they are the ones that tell us what to do. We sniff out the quail for them and then we give it to them so they can eat it. After mom told that story all the my other sisters and brothers were ready for dinner soon enough our owner came out a door and was making mouth noises then he put the food down on the ground and we all ate and then went to bed.



I woke up with the chills and the cold gusting wind blowing against my fur as I get up to look around all of a sudden I hear voices in the air which frightened me so I ran to my mom and snuggled close to her and laid back down and went back to sleep. The next morning after all my brothers and sisters ate breakfast another big machine came up and a person got out and take me and my sisters and brothers then I look back and mom is still in the kennel. The next thing I know I'm in a different cage my brothers and sisters start to look around to see where we are then I look down at the ground and I see dirt on the floor instead of those metal wires in the other cage but I like the dirt better than the wires.

After awhile my sisters and brothers start to get hungry so we all start to try and get attention and start to bark. Then a person came out of the house and started to give us food as I ate I started to wonder if mom was okay . I try not to think about it as much. After I ate, I looked up and there was my mom walking towards me. All the sudden I get up and start to bark and tell my sisters and brothers that moms back as we all get up to look at her she gets in the kennel and we all start to jump around when we all settle down I ask her why did we get separated then she said I don't know why maybe because they wanted to see how you guys would do with out me. By the way how did you guys do did you eat dinner. Yes we we hate dinner but we were sad at night time because we always used to cuddle with you. Okay you go to sleep tomorrow is a big day why is it a big day tomorrow mom because we go Quail hunting what is that son I already told that just go to sleep.

The next morning we woke up early to go hunting for Quail after our owners put us in the back of this big machine. When we got there there was nothing but trees the owner let us out the back. When we got out we waited for our owner he started to make mouth noises I'm not sure if he was talking to us or not but I started to smell Quails from a short distance so I start to follow the smell and all the sudden these birds pop out and then I hear gun shots and the birds falling back to the ground at first I felt kinda sad and happy at the same time because I did something good for the owner. After I go over and pick up the dead birds with my mouth and bring them to the owner and he gives me a treat. After that's done it was my brothers turn so a few hours later we cant find anymore so we just go back home and eat dinner. After that me and my brother just start lay down and I say to mom and ask her will I ever do that again yes son you will now go to sleep you had a long day.
