> 肉販低頭看了一下，哇！還真的有十塊錢耶！所以他收了錢，把香腸和羊腿放入袋子裡以後再放到狗嘴裡。肉販對這隻狗實在太訝異了，想想又剛好快打烊了，他就決定收攤然後跟著這條狗看看。

> 他們沿著路走，來到十字路口的時候這條狗就把袋子放下，跳起來按了行人通行鈕，再叼起袋子耐心地等綠燈亮起，再行通過這個路口，當然肉販還是緊緊跟著它。

> 接下來這條狗來到公車站，開始盯著時刻表瞧。肉販很震驚這條狗居然懂得舉起左腳來攔車，然後搭上了這台公車！肉販跟著上了車，狗把綁在項圈上的車票秀給車 掌看，看到這一幕，肉販就像其他的乘客一樣簡直要暈倒了。

狗狗接著坐在司機旁邊看著窗外，當下一個站牌出現，它就站起來跑去車掌那兒搖尾巴示意他要下車 了，不等公車完全停妥，它就迫不及待地跳出公車往一間離站牌不遠的房子奔。

> 它打開了院子的大鐵門，衝向房門，當它接近那道木門的時候忽然改變主意往花園跑去，它朝向窗戶走去然後用頭去撞它好幾次，然後再跑回房門前等候。肉販看到一著彪形大漢開了門，然後開始凌虐這條狗！他打它、踢他、還大聲咒罵它！肉販實在不能忍受這種事，就跑去阻止這傢伙！
