In the story “ The Mixer” the Shy Man was dishonest . I believe this because he made Blackie think that he was a good dog . It is not that I do not think that Blackie is a good dog , but the Shy Man kept walloping him. Also the reason why Blackie thinks he is a good person is because he gave him treats. The story exactly stated,” Good dog, he said now you can have this,” after that he gave Blackie a treat for staying quiet.
The so called Shy Man also snuck into the house Blackie was supposed to be guarding.

My dog, Chewy, is the greatest dog in the neighborhood. We came up with that specific name because she loved chewing on anything she can get her mouth on. She is a full blooded eight pound Chihuahua. My family and I have raised her since she was six weeks old, small enough to fit in an average size coffee mug. Chewy has black fur throughout her body, and dark tan fur around her tiny paws, beautiful dark brown eyes, and wet nose. She sleeps quite frequently all day, and lays anywhere she decides such as in between my parents in their full size bed, the new tan couch, or her own small, brown, and pink bed. Like other dogs, she enjoys chewing on her squeaky toys and gnawing on bacon flavored treats. She barks and snaps viscously if someone tries
