The Dog that Saved the World (Cup)

by Phil Earle

Pickles and his owner Elsie are both football mad. They talk, eat, sleep and dream football. When their dream comes true that Elsie and her teammates will get to play on the pitch during half-time of the World Cup final, it feels like they’re on top of the world. Life away from football isn’t so great. Already struggling for money, Elsie’s dad then loses his job and they’re forced to move. To make matters even worse, Elsie’s dream of playing football during the World Cup final is at serious risk and so Pickles takes matters into his own paws and sets out to save the world (cup)!
