It is a cold and rainy and windy
day. Everybody is inside but a virus. You
can’t see it. It lives under the skin. This virus is
not what you want under your skin. It can make you very, very sick.
There is a stray German Shepherd dog, Scooby, that has the
virus. The dog had run away from his old home which was in Texas because his
family had died from the virus.
Scooby ran to the airport in Texas. At the airport he was running all over causing trouble and causing stress to the people. The dog was running so fast he got tired. The flight attendants brought Scooby onto the plane. He found a quiet place to rest. The airplane flew to Sacramento.
Scooby left the airport scared. He
met up with another dog. This dog was a girl dog named Rosey, a Labrador. Rosey also has
the virus.
Rosey had an owner who was an old man who got sick, and he
just kept getting sicker. The old man got paralyzed, and other people had to
help him. They had to help him eat. He
eventually died in a hospital from the virus. Rosey started wandering all around until she
eventually met up with Scooby.
The two dogs traveled
around and wandered into a carnival. The dogs started to smell some hot dogs
and popcorn and cotton candy and cheese burgers. So the dogs started begging
for some of the food. One of the vendors saw the dogs and was scared because he
didn’t know the dogs. He watched the dogs go from vendor to vendor begging for
food. He also noticed the dogs were very thin. So he decided to give them some
food. The dogs ate up all the food he gave them.
A family
who was at the carnival saw the dogs and took them home. The vendor who gave the dogs food wrote a
note to the family and gave them the note before the family took the dogs home.
The note said how to take care of the dogs. It said read the labels carefully for any medicine given to the
dogs. Please get the dogs vaccinated. Take the dogs' temperature--it should not be over 101. Check the nose which should be wet. Check
the gums by lifting up the lips. They should be pink. When you walk the dogs
please clean up after them.
The new family built dog houses for the dogs. The dogs had a nice yard
to run around in. They took the dogs in to the vet to make sure they were healthy.
At the vet they checked the dogs to see if they had the virus. They had to wait for the test to come back. The vet found collars on each of the
dogs with name tags. The tags had the dogs' names on them. One was Scooby, and
the other was Rosey.
Once they got to their new home, the dogs started getting sick. They started whimpering and howling. They were
shivering, and they had a temperature of 105.
The family took the dogs to the vet
hospital. There was no cure for them.
So they put masks on the dogs’ faces. The dogs couldn’t breathe with their
masks on, so they put muzzles on the dogs instead. They were going to put the
dogs down, but there was a veterinarian who was also a scientist. He was working
on a cure for the virus. He developed some medication that he experimented on
with the dogs. The medication started to kill the virus, and the dogs got better.
The
next day the dogs' new family started getting sick. They started
throwing up. They had caught the virus.
They also took the medication that was for the dogs, but it did not work for
them. They took their temperatures. They all had high temperatures. Their temperatures were 104. So they decided
to go to the hospital. They were admitted to the ICU. The hospital gave them a
shot and put them on IV medicine. They were put on a liquid diet. But they
continued to get sicker.
In the meantime, the vendors from the carnival also were
getting sick. One of the vendors was also a doctor. She
was the sister of the veterinarian scientist. She, too, was working on a cure for
the virus with her brother, but she was working on it for people. She was
working on the medicine in a special area at the carnival. The vendors had to
go to the doctor’s special area to get the medicine.
The
doctor found some herbs, and she was experimenting with them. She ground the
herbs up. She mixed them with some food. She then baked it all together, and then
she gave the vendors some of the food. The vendors that were sick
started to get better, but there was a side effect. The side effect was that
they started getting very tired. She also found a medicine to help with the
tiredness.
The doctor made brownies with the herbs cooked in it. She also had the herbs pounded down to a
powder that she could pass out. And she made a vaccine to help keep the vendors
awake. The vendors now had another type of medicine, and it did kill
the virus.
The vendor
doctor took her medicine to the hospital to give to the dogs' family. The family started to get better after they
took the medicine. They all got well and
went back home, where Scooby and Rosey were so happy to see them!
