Litani's lost dog

Poor Litani has lost his Chinese Crested Hairless Dog Cobbin Blue. He was tied to a pole outside his house, but he is no longer there. Cobbin needs to be brought back to Litani as his dog gets really bad sun burn through being hairless.


Faamafu's Lost Dog

Another lost dog!!! Faamafu left her dog Joe outside the car park at Pak n' Save in Glen Innes. When she got back, Joe was missing. He is an old Chinese Crested Hairless dog and has a sore back and a sore left front leg. If you see him, please return him.



Tatiana's Lost Dog

Oh dear, Tatiana has lost her Chinese Crested Hairless Dog at the Sylvia Park Shopping Mall outside Pak n' Save. Her dog is called Scruffy and it was last seen wearing a red collar with diamonds on it. Have you seen her dog?


Lost Dog Advertisements

This term we have been very busy writing Lost Dog Advertisements for the Chinese Crested Hairless dog. The Chinese Crested Hairless dog was chosen because it is different to the ordinary every day dog and it gets the children thinking about this dogs unique qualities such as its physical appearance and it's health problems through being hairless. The writing was made into posters and then made into podcasts. All advertisements are fictional-There is no lost dog, but this exercise has taught the children a number of things: how to write an advertisement for a lost pet, providing sufficient detail on the appearance of the dog, the date, time and place it went missing and contact details.
We hope you enjoy listening to our podcasts.

This is the dog that the children wrote about.

Welcome to all those new listeners who have joined us from around the world.
