Excerpt from the next Stick Dog adventure!

Stick Dog slowly straightened his body and dropped the cardboard circle to the ground. “You have to taste that thing,” he whispered. “I can’t believe I’m saying this—but I think it tastes even better than hamburgers and frankfurters.”

“That’s impossible,” muttered Karen, but she had learned a long time ago to trust Stick Dog when it came to the subject of food. All four dogs began licking the cardboard. And Stick Dog dropped his head for another taste too.

Stripes lifted her head momentarily and asked, “What is this red, sticky stuff?”

“Here, let me see,” said Poo-Poo, and he nudged his nose into a red splotch of stuff that was smeared across one section of the cardboard. He sniffed it, licked it, and then bit off a little piece and swirled it around in his mouth a little. He lifted his nose in the air just a bit and then declared with great authority, “That red sticky stuff is delicious, no doubt. It has hints of salt and spice, and a fine clean finish on the back of my palate. It evokes memories of tomato, green pepper, onion, and finely ground pepper.”
