A big white motorboat was waiting for us. The Capitan, Doberman Pinscher, was wearing a sailor’s shirt with blue and white stripes and a captain's cap. He waved his friendly paw. “Hello guys! Welcome to my boat!”
“Hello Mr. Michael Foxter! Thank you. We are coming!”I said.
We carefully walked along the ladder and got into the boat. The captain started the engine and our motor boat began to race through the waves. The wind was blowing in our faces and our mood was perfect.
“Is it your first time in the “Eagle’s nest” camp, puppies?”asked Mr. Foxter.
“Yes, sir” I answered.
“You can call me Michael.”The captain smiled. “I am just a little bit older than you. I am also new here. I started to work in the camp just two weeks ago. I like to be a leader; it brings me a lot of joy.”
“Are there a lot of puppies in the camp, Michael?”Mary asked.
“There are fifty-four. Now with the six of you, there will be sixty.”
“Oh that is so nice. I can’t wait to meet all of them.”Mary smiled.
“Yes, and our boss Mr. Rish, is a very good dog, too. If you are lucky, he will show you his greatest treasure.”
“Greatest treasure? What is it Captain Michael?” Timmy was very interested.
“It is a golden bone.”
“A golden bone? Really?”Timmy looked surprised.
“Yes, it is a bone thirty centimeters long made from pure gold. Mr. Rish got it from his ancestors who came to Vladivostok a long time ago from China. He is very proud of this thing and likes to show it to the puppies. So if you will behave well, you can look at it one day.”
“Wow! I would love to see it!” Timmy sighed dreamily.
“Ok, puppies. Here we are.” The captain stopped the boat.
“Thank you for the wonderful trip, Mr. Foxter,” Betsy said.
“You are welcome! But don’t forget, I am just Michael to you. I am not an old dog. I just graduated from the university this year!”
“Thank you for the trip, Michael,” we said all together.
