Movie For Dogs Read Online Free PDF

a dog show in years. Mrs. Swanson should be thrilled for Snowflake to be in a movie. Lots of washed-up beauty queens become actresses.”
    “Who will we get to play Mr. Rinkle?” Tim asked. It was the question they all had been avoiding. “It’ll have to be one of our dads, but not mine. He’s so shy he won’t even play charades.”
    “Mine won’t do it either,” Debbie said. “We’ll need to film on a weekend, and he’d never give up his golf games. So that just leaves Mr. Walker. What do you think, Bruce?”
    “It’s worth a shot,” Bruce said. “But we hardly see our dad on weekends. He’s always working, even if it’s at home at his computer.”
    “I’m sure we can talk him into it,” Andi said. “He won’t need to learn a lot of lines. All he’ll have to do is say, ‘Ha, ha, ha.’”
    However, when they approached him, Mr. Walkertold them regretfully that although he was eager to encourage them in their creative projects, he wouldn’t be available on the coming weekend.
    “I’m going to have to spend both Saturday and Sunday preparing a report for an important meeting,” he said. “If you’re willing to wait until the next weekend, it’s possible I might be able to find some time then.”
    “This can’t wait,” Bruce told him. “The deadline for submissions is April thirtieth, and I’ll have to get in line to use the editing bay at school. If we don’t do the filming next weekend, we might as well bag it. Our video won’t be finished in time.”
    “We
have
to enter it!” Andi cried. “I’ve already told Bebe about it. She’s all excited!”
    They sat silent for a moment, contemplating possibilities.
    Then their eyes met, and they nodded simultaneously.
    “We have to use the weapon at hand,” Bruce said. “Since the iron wall in your story is now a chain-link fence, and your basset is now an Irish setter, is there any reason why the villain can’t be
Mrs.
Rinkle?”

CHAPTER FIVE
    “How close would I have to get to the dogs?” Aunt Alice asked. “Would I have to touch them?”
    “Yes,” Bruce admitted. “But you wouldn’t have to cuddle them. You’d just scoop them up and shove them through a door. You could wear long sleeves and gloves and maybe a face mask. You know those pollen masks they advertise on television?”
    “I’ve seen those ads,” Aunt Alice said. “I suppose it might do the job. Especially if I take an allergy pill beforehand and hold the dogs down low, away from my face.”
    “It’s a very low door,” Bruce assured her. “Once you get the dogs down to that level, you can shove them through with your knees.”
    “That might work,” Aunt Alice acknowledged. “I do want to participate in this worthy endeavor.After all, I’m the one who suggested it. When will you need me on the set?”
    “Next Saturday,” Bruce said. “We’ll do all the big scenes then, including the ones that you’re in. We’ll film some minor scenes during the week, after school, in order to get a head start. Like the one where Bobby is sitting by the fence, dreaming about Juliet. And the scenes where Debbie is grieving. You won’t need to be there for those.”
    “But won’t you be getting the scenes out of order?” Aunt Alice asked him. “Don’t I have to snatch the dogs before Debbie starts grieving?”
    “In the story, yes, but not in the filming,” Bruce explained. “I can film the scenes in any order I want and rearrange them during editing. Then we’re going to have to make an audiotape of Andi reading the story so viewers will understand what the dogs are thinking. There’s a lot of technical stuff involved in filmmaking.”
    The production schedule was complicated by their having to spend so much of each weekday at school. On Tuesday, Andi faked a stomachache so she could stay home and work all day on the script. Because Mr. and Mrs. Walker were both at work,she didn’t have to lie in bed and act sick, and was able to accomplish a lot. However,
