The “ Dog of the Year Show” was on television. “ I love the way the dogs run so quickly, ” said Mum. “ They seem to enjoy it, too. ” They watched a dog called Pepper. She ran quickly and didn't make a mistake. “ I hope Pepper wins, " said Chip.

The next dog was called Raffles. Kipper liked him more than Pepper. “ I want Raffles to win, " said Kipper, “ Look how fast he can run. ” Everyone was excited as Raffles came to the end, but he didn't win. Pepper did. “ I knew Pepper would do it, ” shouted Biff.

Floppy was asleep on the floor. Biff poked him with her toe. “ Wake up, Floppy, " she said. “ Look at all these clever dogs on television. Why can't you do clever things like them?” Floppy opened one eye. Then he yawned and went back to sleep.

The next day, Biff, Chip and Kipper went outside to play. Wilf and Wilma came round. Floppy was fast asleep on the grass. “ Did you see the 'Dog of the Year Show’on television?” asked Biff. “ Yes. It was brilliant, ” said Wilma.

“ I wonder if Floppy could do some of the things we saw on television, ” said Chip. Biff found a box. “ Come on, Floppy, " she said. “ Let's see what you can do, Jump on this box. ” Floppy looked at the box. “ Oh no! I'm too old to do tricks, ” he thought.
