“Dodo! Come, Dodo!”
Dodo lies in his kennel. He does not get up.
Lebo walks over to the kennel to see if Dodo is still sleeping.
Dodo lies with his head on his paws.
His ears are hanging, and he looks tired.
SAMPLE
He does not even wag his tail.
“Let’s go for a walk, Dodo,” says Lebo.
Dodo slowly opens his eyes. He is not in the mood for a walk.
What is wrong with Dodo? wonders Lebo.

“He must sleep in the hospital tonight.”
The hospital is only for animals. Lebo feels sad. He cries. He does not want to leave Dodo at the vet.
