The Tales and Tail of Albert The Black Pug
In a small terraced house in middle Britain lives Albert the pug.
As black as an inky gremlin, Albert takes great pride in his curly tail and nose rolls.
In fact, one of his favourite things is to have his nose rolls scratched by someone as he can’t do it himself.
His curly tail makes him different from other dogs. He can’t wag it when he is excited, but it does go flat when he falls asleep or on the rare occasion he feels scared.
Albert also loves footballs. He chases them and pushes them with his head, making the balls roll with his dazzling football skills. He loves to practice doing that.
But there is one other thing that makes Albert different from other dogs – and it’s his little secret.
Whisper it quietly, but whenever there is trouble nearby Albert likes to make things better.
If something goes missing, Albert will find it. If someone does something naughty, Albert will make sure they get caught. And if something is dropped on the ground, Albert will be the first to sniff it (it’s not all work you know).
Albert is lucky that he has a nose for solving crime as he has one amazing weapon which only pugs have.
No matter where they are in the world, and no matter how old they are, pugs, when they really want to, can arch their backs, droop their curly tails and suddenly disappear in a furry haze of speed.
In Britain, this special gift is called a black pudding. But you might know it as something else. The whirring whizzing pug is so fast that in America they call it a Pugtona after one of their car races.
But it doesn’t matter what it’s called, it’s what it does that counts.
If someone stares too long, a black pudding will leave them dopey and dizzy and unable to escape. And other, bigger dogs, normally much faster than a pug, just can’t keep up with the black pudding which will dart around them in a mesmerising blur.
But mostly, Albert the Black Pug likes to sleep. Sleep and wait. Wait for his next adventure. When the lead comes out and the front door opens, Albert is always ready to find out what’s going on.
