Wally the Wonder Dog

We have decided that we want to write a story. Not just any story but an epic adventure about a wonder dog called Wally.

We want to develop this story with your help. You will be able to suggest everything from characters, locations and plot lines. Its a blank canvas. All you need to do is make the suggestions and we will do the rest.

Head to the guest book and put 'Wally' at the start of your entry. If we like it you will see your suggestion in the unfolding story of the next truly magnificent earth saving super hero (or maybe he's just a naughty dog who knows ?).

The story so far ...... (and the list of legends who have contributed)

Wally and the Mysterious Oven Fires

Chapter One ... Where there's smoke there's fire 

Wally had just finished humping his owner's leg and was feeling pretty darn good about himself when suddenly .......

He felt that deep stab of fear you get when you realise you have left the oven on at home. "I know I'll use my wonder powers and be home in 15 seconds and .. oh no!". He realised he shouldn't have eaten all those nachos, he could barely move. He looked up to the sky and shook his paw at the heavens. "Damn you delicious nachos with your spicy meat, beans and lashings of melted cheese" he cried. 

You see Wally has a weakness, just as kryptonite is to Superman so nachos are to Wally. "I know they weaken my wonder powers, but they just taste so good." He had to get home quickly and turn off the oven before disaster struck but how ? .....

Wally knew he had lain there for too long and was starting to get worried. Sure the effect of the nachos was wearing off so he could move a little but not enough to get home. This was getting serious. He looked up and saw a boy rolling toward him on a skateboard. "Great, normally I would hide and then scare the blazes out of the kid". He laughed to himself "it sure is funny watching them fall off those boards". "Hang on! .... maybe I can get home on the skateboard".

Wally knew he only had one chance. He had to jump at the right time or all was lost. He readied himself and watched the kid get closer. Luckily the boy was showing off to a couple of girls who were pretending not to  notice him and didn't see Wally until it was too late.

At just the right moment Wally launched himself and his head hit the boy right in the stomach. The boy flew off and Wally landed on his stomach right in the middle of the board.  "Not bad Wal my old son you skater punk you" thought Wally. He looked behind just in time to see the boy perform a perfect face plant on the nature strip. "Ouch that would have hurt.... no he looks Ok". "Sorry about that mate, I'm not stealing it, I'll bring it back when I am finished I promise" Wally yelled back to the slightly battered but indignant boy. "Hmm that reminds me I've got that photo shoot for the Crimestoppers' poster tomorrow, mustn't forget" he thought. 

Using his paws, Wally propelled the skateboard off down the street as fast as his wonder powers would allow. He was soon eating up the miles toward home. As he got close his nose started to twitch, was that smoke? Turning into the street where he lived his fears were confirmed. The smell was stronger and he could see smoke coming from his home. Luckily there wasn't a lot of it "Oh boy I hope I'm not too late".

Just then he noticed a cat. A female cat. "Well hello baby!" he thought "now that is sex on paws". You see Wally has another weakness - he loves cats in a way that none of his doggy friends would approve or even understand. Cats is for chasin' and eatin' they would say but Wally knew that they were for lovin'. "I know its wrong but damn those cats have really got it goin' on!" (for a dog Wally had a surprisingly good grasp of modern slang). This cat was sleek, slinky and well aware of its effect on Wally. She started to strut and purr. Wally was staring and starting to get that forbidden feeling. "No" he thought "I must avert disaster .... hmmm maybe I've got time for a.....  No! Wally get a grip! There's time for that later".

Wally steered for home and leapt from the board. Running inside he grabbed his water bowl in his mouth and tore into the kitchen. He could see flames inside the oven and smoke was billowing from the door. Using his paws he opened the oven and threw the water inside. To his relief the flames went out. He dropped the bowl and breathing heavily, looked around. There were paw prints on the floor "hmm these don't look like mine and what's this? .... That looks like fur near the oven" he went closer. "Yep that's fur alright ... looks like dog fur" he sniffed "boy dog". Walking back over to the oven he looked inside. 

"That's not right" he thought. Inside the oven lay the charred remains of paper. Someone had deliberately caused this fire. Maybe he hadn't left the oven on at all. In fact the more he thought the more sure he was that he had turned off the oven after taking the nachos out and putting them on the table to cool. He cleaned out the oven, "no point in getting into trouble" he thought as he flushed the charred paper down the toilet and sprayed air freshener around the kitchen.

Why would a dog deliberately start a fire in my owner's oven?" he wondered. "This is a mystery that requires a dog with wonder powers ... I vow here and now that I will get to the bottom of this!" (for a cool dog he could get a little pompous on occasion). 

"I wonder if that hot mama is still outside", he smiled as he headed for the door. Once outside he was in for a shock. He could see smoke coming from another house just two doors down.  "That's Spike's house, no time for sexy cat fun now". Jumping on the skateboard he took off. "What is going on ?" he thought ....
