I’m Murphy and this is my human, Mary! She gives the best

scratches and always knows where my big itches are. I’m the luckiest dog in the world. Every dog should have a Mary.

2

Everywhere my Mary goes, I go. I’m always by her side, happy and wagging my tail behind me!

3

We spend all day, every day on doggy adventures and nothing makes me happier than …

… W A L K I E S!

4

I wonder where we’re off to today?

5

Beach walkies? Woof-yay!

But uh-oh, suddenly everyone seems to be covered in sand and nobody likes sandy sandwiches.

6

‘Bad pup!’ everyone shouts.

Me, bad? But what did I do?

‘Murphy’s not a bad pup,’ says Mary,

‘It’s just bad luck! Come on, Murphy.’

7

Farm walkies? Woof-yay!

But uh-oh, suddenly a bull is on the loose. The chickens are in

a flap and the sheep are hiding baaaaa-dly in the bushes.

8

The farmer shouts, ‘Bad pup!’

Me, bad? But what did I do?

‘Murphy’s not a bad pup,’ says Mary, ‘It’s just bad luck.

Come on, Murphy.’
