The Lunch Poacher

“Gryphon’s been a good dog lately,” said Amber, “We should have him try a new type of kibble as a treat.”

The next morning Gryphon noticed that his regular kibble was gone. Instead, there were these weird squiggly thingies. Hmm, thought Gryphon, This doesn’t look very appetizing. So he just left it there.

When Amber told Dave that Gryphon hadn’t eaten his breakfast, Dave was shocked. “Did he even try it?” said Dave.

“No,” replied Amber, “he just left it there and walked away.”

“Hmmm,” said Dave.

At dinner, Dave tried to make Gryphon eat his food. “Come on, buddy,” said Dave, “Eat your new kibble. We bought it especially for you.” Gryphon still didn’t eat it.

When Amber and Dave were both asleep, Gryphon walked into the kitchen…

“Hmm,” said Amber the next day. It was lunch time and Amber couldn’t find half of her pepperoni pizza.

“Uuuuurp!” said Gryphon.

That night when Amber and Dave were sleeping, Gryphon skillfully sneaked out of bed and went into the kitchen…

The next day, Dave was missing his leftover pork chop that he had saved for lunch. To console himself, he went over to pat Gryphon. “Uuuurp!” said Gryphon.

“That’s funny,” said Dave, “I thought we already brushed your teeth this morning.” Gryphon had to brush his teeth again.

Amber and Dave went downstairs to discuss what was happening. Then, when Gryphon was taking his nap, Amber and Dave fixed a camera in the kitchen and Amber stuck a camera in the refrigerator. That night, Gryphon went on his nightly trip to the kitchen…

In the morning, Amber and Dave found evidence of lunch poaching. “Bad dog!” said Amber. “No more new kibble for you!”

Yes! Thought Gryphon.
