Black Dog Blues

Sarah was an artist who lived in a big house with her partner. He was a restless man and he would often disappear with no word about where he was going or for how long. 


Her daughter became concerned that Sarah was lonely. She suggested that Sarah should get a dog for company. So they went to the local pound and found a beautiful black dog. Sarah adopted her and called her Lady.


Lady and Sarah spent many years together and Lady was growing old.  Then came the terrible day when Lady died. Sarah was very sad for many months. She realised that she needed the company of a dog, so she and her daughter returned to the shelter and Sarah adopted a black dog which she named Bo.


Then she decided that one dog was not enough, so she went back to the dog shelter and adopted another black dog which she named Billie. 


Bo and Billie did not get on very well at first. Billie had an ambition to be an only dog and they were both jealous for Sarah's attention. 


Then one day intruders broke into the big house. Bo and Billy joined forces to frighten the man off. After that the two dogs became the best of friends and the house was happy and peaceful once again.


Sarah decided that she should get to know the people in the neighbourhood. So she arranged a street party which starred her two black dogs, Bo and Billie.
