One day, a wizard called Grandlord met a dog called Woof-Woof. The wizard wanted to be the dog’s owner, because he was very, very lonely. Luckily, Woof-Woof was a stray dog.

Woof-Woof was happy that Grandlord was going to be his owner so much that he jumped on Grandlord and gave him a big doggy hug!

“Thank you!” said Grandlord.

Woof-Woof gave him lots of licks.

The next day, Grandlord brought Woof-Woof into his secret lair to make a potion to make him talk. The potion didn’t work the first time, but the second time it did!

“Thank you for making me this potion,” shouted Woof-Woof, “And thank you for saving me and adopting me!”

“You’re welcome, Woof-Woof,” replied Grandlord.

The next morning, Woof-Woof went on an adventure in the forest beside the secret lair.

Woof-Woof saw the trees shaking, he heard the birds chirping, and the wind blowing.

Suddenly, he met a zombie that was after him.

“I will hunt you!” screamed the zombie.

Then Woof-Woof realised that he was walking in the direction of a zombie stronghold! That morning, Grandlord had woken up and couldn’t find Woof-Woof. He checked his mystical ball and saw Woof-Woof being attacked by a zombie. He quickly used a spell to make the zombies disappear.

Nearby, a hunter was hunting when he came across Woof-Woof and he dognapped him . . .
