    Strange things began happening at a dog shelter in London. When staff arrived each morning, many of the dogs had gotten out of their cages overnight. Security cameras were set up and revealed that a dog named Red was using his teeth to open his cage door and the doors of other dogs, allowing them all to get out and play while the staff was gone. Reporters came to film Red after word spread of his abilities, and many people contacted the shelter hoping to adopt him. Red became somewhat famous for his door-opening skills.

    It was night. A dark figure carefully unlocked the door and went out. He looked

    (3:1)
    Last month, strange things began to happen at Londons Battersea Dogs Home.
    Every morning when the staff arrived, they saw that a lot of the dogs were out of
    their cages. It was a mystery. It happened so many times, said Amy Watson,
    one of the staff. We even thought that perhaps it was the ghost of Mary Tealby.
    They say that Mary Tealby, who started the Home in 1860, comes back at night to
    haunt it. So they put cameras in all the cages and filmed what happened.
    The next day the staff watched the film. They were amazed at what they saw.
    Red, a four year old lurcher, used his teeth to open the door of his cage. Then he
    did the same for his friends in the next cages. All the dogs got out and had a great
    time. Amy told us, They ate lots of food, had lots of fun and games, and made
    lots of mess!
    Reporters from Japan, Germany, and America came to film Red, and 400 people
    phoned because they wanted to give him a home. Reds a famous film star now.
    Hes a real celebrity! said Amy.
