About this ebook
I want to be a writer, just like my uncle Harold, who wrote a bunch of books about our friend Bunnicula. So I wrote this story. And boy! Did I ever get into trouble! My friend Delilah stopped speaking to me because I put her in my book. Uncle Harold stopped speaking to me because I didn’t put him in my book. A writer’s life isn’t easy!
But back to my story: It’s about how a talented and lovable (not to mention smart) wirehaired dachshund puppy named Howie saves the world from a disgusting, evil menace named...oops, that would give away the story. But trust me, this menace is disgusting and evil, all right!!!
Your friend, Howie

diagramCHAPTER 1:
THE SCARY PLACE
Pete Monroe was a slob. He did things like sneak food into his room and instead of sharing it with his pets like any decent human being would do, he would toss what he didn’t want under his bed. Sometimes the pets, especially the cute and lively wirehaired dachshund puppy named Howie, would go under the bed and look for something good to eat.
But under Pete’s bed was a scary place. It was dark and full of secrets.
Do not go there!
Chester the cat (who is sometimes called Pop, but won’t be in this story because it’s too confusing) warned Howie, the frisky and clever puppy. You might not come out alive!
Ha, ha!
Howie retorted cleverly.
Go ahead and laugh!
Chester said. But don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Howie bit his tongue to stop himself from saying, I didn’t warn you.
