Rex Goes To Mars: A Space Adventure

Rex had always known that he was an intelligent dog. He was very proud of the fact that he could count to 100. He could read some words if they were not too long. He was also the very best at fetching the newspaper for his people.

He loved his people. Adam and Sally were his two favorites. They played with him every day. They would throw a ball as far as they could, and Rex would run and grab it in his mouth. If he were exceptionally fast, he would catch the ball in the air. Rex was proud of that too.

As far as good dogs went, Rex was one of the best.

Rex did not think that his life could get any better. But, after bringing in the newspaper one day, the children began jumping up and down in excitement.

“It has to be Rex,” said Adam.

“Rex is the best dog in the world,” said Sally.

Rex ran around in circles. Whenever his name was said in excitement, it meant that something good was about to happen.

Adam ran over to Rex with the newspaper.

“Look at this, boy,” said Adam. “You are going to go to Mars.”

Rex looked at the newspaper and then at Adam. He knew something good was happening, but he could not work out what it was. Sally saw the confused look on Rex’s face. She pointed up.

“You are going to go to the stars, Rex. To the stars!” shouted Sally. She began dancing around the room.

Rex knew the stars, but he did not know that you could go to them.

Rex wondered if he would be the first dog in history to fetch a star.

And, so began the adventures of Rex in Mars.
