Book Cover & Preview Text
Hi! I am Kassy Sue. You can call me Kassy. I am a very small terrier mixed breed dog. Some people call me a mutt. I like to say I am mixed. I am black and white, with a really cute face. I want to tell you the true story of my lucky life. I was born in a yucky, smelly landfill. Trash was piled up as far as I could see. Big garbage trucks came every day to dump more trash. I ran away when I heard the loud trucks. Beep! Beep! Beep! In the landfill, I was always hungry and thirsty. I had to dig through the trash to find food. The food was yucky and old. Clean water was hard to find. I had to drink rainwater to quench my thirst. When it rained, I was soaking wet and tried to hide. Thunderstorms were really scary. I shivered when I heard thunder and lightning. Winter was very cold. Snow and ice were the worst. My paws would freeze as I tried to find shelter in the trash to keep me warm. The landfill was not a good home for a little dog like me.
