CHAPTER 1 Howling Like Mad I'm Alfie Wolfe and I'm here to tell you all about a fraidycat dog named Freddie Don't think I'm making fun of him I know what it's like to be scared of stuff Especially sharks Man sharks creep me out But this story isn't about killer fish It's about Freddie Freddie the beagle Freddie with the howl like you wouldn't believe He checked into our dog hotel last June I'll never
forget that stormy week We're talking huge dark thunder clouds Those clouds were the color of stormy ocean water full of seaweed And sharks Back to Freddie He showed up on a Saturday The weather guy on TV had forecasted blue skies and tons of sunshine that weekend Man did he get it wrong That morning a huge boom of thunder woke me partway up I was lying inside my sleeping bag on our living room floor I was at the tail end of a nightmare still half asleep and yelling stuff like Help I'm inside a shark It swallowed me whole I kicked and punched and shoved trying to bust my way out of that shark's stomach A loud ripping sound sort of like meat tearing off bones made me stop and open my eyes I realized that I was at the bottom of my sleeping bag
