Hey Fam, Duke here, Pawsburg’s proudest canine adventurer. Day’s filled with steak-flavored bones, tail wagging tales and braving the storms with my Retriever and Spaniel squad. But no matter the day’s chaos, always return home to my beloved humans. After all, home is where the steak is. Wagging out, your King of Pawsburg, Duke.

Listen to the story here

It’s a sunny afternoon in Pawsburg when, with the stealth of a cat burglar, I stole away from my human’s house and path, paws itching with anticipation. Ah, Duke, the pawsome notorious dog of Pawsburg is out for another adventure!

As per ritual, my reliable red sparring partner, all battered and frayed, rode shotgun in my mouth. It’s just after breakfast, the perfect time for a good old game of catch before my rendezvous at South Poodle Pond. A swim before the adventure keeps the muscles limber, you see?

First stop, Fetch! Toys and Treats. No that’s not a command, that’s the name of my favorite canine supermarket downtown, owned by a roguish bulldog named Bruno. Nobody stocks a lamb steak-flavored bone quite like Bruno. I couldn’t resist, “One lamb steak flavored bone, please Bruno”. His gruff bark echoed back, “Easy, Duke. Pay before you drool.”

Shopping done, it was time to head out to my secret rendezvous point in the woods. Here, the anticipation meets the reality, and the result is usually a whole lot of chaos and tail wagging. It’s a cozy little clearing, where Riley, the Spaniel, and Max, the old and wise Retriever, wait.

A thunderstorm was rolling in that day, the far-off rumblings did make my paws icy, but I will not flee. I will not let my friends down. It’s just one of those days when you get to choose – thunderstorms or steak bones. A wise dog once told me, “Steak always wins, Duke. Always.”

So, there I was, holding my steak-flavored bone high against the threatening murmurs of the storm, while Riley and Max stared at me with awestruck eyes. Yes, you heard it right. I was facing my fear, for steak and friends, of course. In any other world, such valor could only come from knights, but in Pawsburg, we’re just your regular everyday pet dogs.

Days in Pawsburg are filled with youthful enthusiasm, wagging tails, and foolish courage. We play, we laugh, we howl at the moon and hide from storms, but at the end of the day, we all return to our favorite humans, because Pawsburg is the kingdom of our hearts, but home…home is where the steak is.

Well, that’s your day-in-the-life of this sly Lab-Shepherd mix. Every day is a new adventure but also a relentless pursuit for that perfect life. That’s just the ‘Good Pet’ in me, Duke – steak-loving, thunder-loathing, and of course, the king of Pawsburg!

The End.
