Sample Text from Dominic the Dog

Dominic entered the world on a farm, the youngest of four puppies.

Dominic wasn’t like his brothers and sister.

The oldest brother led the sheep.
The second brother was best at fetch.
His sister was the greatest guard dog. She kept the farmhouse safe.

Dominic was different. He couldn’t herd sheep, couldn’t fetch like his brother, or guard the farm like his sister.
