I'm free if you have the time, I have the money

Hey, I’m so cute, I just need lots of hugs and sloppy wet kisses. I promise I’ll love you forever plus be on my best behavior if you give me a home. Six weeks ago I was happy and suckling with my five brothers and sisters; sure we were living in the street, but that wasn’t too hard, our mum was warm and always let us drink our fill and she kept the dark scary things away. Then something bad happened, a strange two legged animal came and took us away and shut us up in a small dark thing and put us inside a growly monster the two legged called a truck, and then dumped us off far away from mum and our street. We’re all still so sad and frightened, we don’t think we’ll ever see Mum again.

We were left in the small dark thing for a day or more with nothing to drink or eat, we were just starving and thought we were going to die. All we could do was pee and poo on each other because there was no way out of the small dark thing.

Then another two legged heard us crying and took us out and fed us. His two legged mate didn’t want us because she said we make her sick, she can’t breathe or something like that. I don’t know what she meant because we can breathe around her, everyone can breathe can’t they, even huggie little puppies like us?

Now they say we might be sold to the crocodiles if there is no one to give us a home for a while. What is a crocodile like? Can I play with them? I just love to play. I want somebody to love; so do all my five brothers and sisters. My biggest brother Chew got lucky the other day, a gorgeous little two legged called Amber with long yellow hair said she loved him and wanted to take him home and let him sleep in her bed. I hope we all get lucky like Chew too.

I want to go back to being warm at nights and curling up happy to sleep with a full belly. I want to find a loving two legged to be my mum instead, now that we have lost our real one. I want to play and run and have fun like our mum told us we are supposed to. I promise to be as good as a little puppy can and when I grow up to be a proper dog I will look after my two legged mum and keep the scary dark things away from her too, just like real mums do. Please give me a home, give us a chance. I want to grow up fat and happy and a good little guy.

After intensive studying and successful completion of their Key Stage 3 SAT examination, Year 9 students at Garden International School took the opportunity to brighten up their science laboratory. By sketching a variety of scientific subjects - from atoms and cells to the solar system - they combined these images together to produce a 4m2 wall mural. It is visually stunning and provides vivid stimulus for science throughout the whole school, appealing to all ages 2 to 18. Well done to all the students involved; Preedee, Phet, May-Lee, Ashley, Hyn-Jin, Neng and Boy. Special thanks also to Mrs. Hobbs, Head of Art, for her technical expertise.
