Philip And The Angel (9781452416144) - Plot & Excerpts
The stray dog Angel saw must run around between all of the backyards, Philip thought. Philip stood next to the tree separating Angel’s yard from her next-door neighbor, Mrs. Beebe’s, yard. He inspected all of the windows in Angel’s house, hoping to see her at one, but she wasn’t there. What should he do now? The dog could be anywhere. “Woof,” went Philip. “Woof. Woof.” Philip listened for an answer but got none. Philip barked in a louder voice. “Woof! Woof! Woof!” “Well, hello little doggie.” Mrs. Beebe, an older gray-haired woman, who lived alone, stood on her back porch staring at him. She had a blue bandanna on her hair and gardening tools in one hand. “Would the doggie like to be petted?” Philip felt ridiculous. It was the first time he’d ever been caught barking like a dog. “I was just . . . trying something,” Philip stammered. “Was the doggie asking for a bone?” the old woman cackled. “No, no. I was . . . I gotta go.” Philip hurried across the backyard and went out to the sidewalk.
