Why do you think her name is Carrot? Well, she is as orange as a carrot!

Did you know? She was not always orange in colour. She was actually white when she was first born!

So, how did she become orange? Well, she liked to eat carrots so much that she became more and more orange.

In fact, she didn’t have a name at first. That was when she was still at the pet shop.

Her friends there found homes very quickly, but no one seemed to like an orange puppy.

Now, Carrot has a home! Carrot loves Carrie’s orange bedsheet. She has an orange bedsheet, too, because Carrie’s mum gave her one!

Carrie and Carrot eat stewed carrots, stir-fried carrots, and carrot cake. Guess what they drink? Carrot juice, of course!

At first, Carrie’s friends liked to tease her. “You call that a puppy? Ha, ha! Your pet looks more like a carrot!” they would say. 17 17

Carrot is a very friendly puppy, too. She wags her tail whenever she sees Carrie and her friends. “Arf! Arf! Arf!” she barks excitedly.
