Appendix 2

A Dogs Life
Hi Im Dino, the family dog. I help keep people safe: especially on the roads. Take a
look at my diary to see what I did last week.
Sunday
Some children really dont think. Our neighbours boy ran in front of a car to get
his ball. The car almost hit him. I saved him though. Remember, always look and
listen.
Monday
Walking along the street at night can be very dangerous, especially if you wear
dark clothes. Car drivers cant see you very well, just like these two I had to take
home. Luckily I never go out without my reflective jacket and collar. Remember, BE
SEEN!
Tuesday
People can get very angry when driving, usually for silly reasons. One driver started
shouting at Mum today when she stopped to let some children cross the road. I
soon made him stop.
Wednesday
One thing makes me really mad. Grrrrr! People walking on a busy road when they
can walk on the safe pavement. I saw two girls doing that today, but I soon made
them change their minds.
Thursday
Seat belts can save your life! I make sure everyone in our car wears their seat
belt. If they forget, I soon remind them. Even Ive got one.
Friday
I like Fridays. The roads are quieter. You still have to be careful. I caught dad
talking on his mobile phone while driving. I soon stopped him tough. Dont worry he
got his phone back.
Saturday
Today Mum took me for a walk. One car was parked in a very dangerous place. It
was right on the corner of the street. Dont worry though. I left him a message.
