Billy and the Bat-Dog
January 15, 2010 by William K. Wolfrum
Billy was afraid of Bats. “Run away!” he’d shreik when he saw one. “It’s a flying Rat!”
But one day Billy stumbled into a Cave, optimistic like a knave. When his wee little eyes adjusted, his mind nearly busted.
“There are Bats everywhere here! I’ve got to get in the clear!”
But as Billy started to flee, his eyes couldn’t believe what they started to see! Right in the middle of those bats so gruesome, was a puppy dog so handsome!
And so Billy took the dog from it’s scary cave and brought him back to his home enclave. And he met Max and Afonso and Duchess and Jack. And the puppy was so happy he knew he’d never go back.
And Billy was happy and named his new Bat-Dog José Aparecido, just to mess with you. But please meet this little dog from the street - if you’re not sure what to say, just call him Zé.
