Rusky: A New Beginning

I searched desperately on the Internet. I found a dog trainer called Pet Trick at http://www.waggie.com.sg/. Inexpensive. Only S$380 for ten lessons. I brought Rascal to a multi-storey carpark at Ang Mo Kio Ave 1. I made a total of ten turns up five storeys before I reached the roof carpark. The lights were faulty. Complete darkness except for my vehicle's two front lights. Creepy. I almost thought Pet Trick was going to pounce on me with his gang of dogs anytime. Speak of the devil. Pet Trick called to inform me that the training ground was switched to the first storey. I made another ten turns down and met Pet Trick. On first look, he looked like Jacky Wu (吴宗宪 ). Rascal seemed to have a natural affinity to him. Jumped and wagged its butt excitedly. Wow. Rascal made many friends. Golden Retriever, Maltese, Pomeranian. Rascal was the only dog who behaved like a wild dog. I talked to one of his 'disciples' about Rascal's problems. I felt that I was not alone to bad dog behaviour. I was determined to sign Rascal up for the dog training. She suggested that I changed Rascal's name. Rascal sounded unfriendly and wild. Rusky is the new name!
