Book Cover & Preview Text
Young Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy was in need of a home. He was ready to take his rightful place in the world. He was looking for a place that would not only bring him great happiness and delight; but what he wanted most, in all the world, was to have someone to love. He was a generous, proud, and brilliant Pug Dog, and he knew just what he should do. He would write an ad, send it to the Doggie Times and soon he would have his perfect companion.
After some pondering about what he should say, Mr. Darcy wrote his advertisement, and it said:
Young, well-mannered, pure-bred, aristocratic Pug Dog seeks a home with an agreeable lady to call his own. This lady must be kind, cheerful, cuddly, and taste yummy when licked. I am also hoping she can cook delicious things that we can eat. She should also like to go for short walks. I can protect my lady by barking ferociously to keep the scary things (like squirrels and bicycles) away and I will keep her warm by snuggling close. I listen really well and can tilt my head agreeably when asked a question. Please write as soon as possible, so that we can be happy together.
Then, of course, he had to wait for the responses to his advertisement to arrive. He was sure there would be many quickly arriving.
