EXCERPT
“Excuse me, officer,” said Mr Dumble. “You haven't seen a dog, about so high, brown, with sticky-uppy ears, have you?”
“Are you kidding?” said one of the police officers. “That's the canine who caused this salmagundi of discombobulation,”
“Pardon?” said Mr Dumble.
“The canis domesticus who instigated this cornucopia of pandemonium.”
“Eh?” said Mr Dumble.
The police chief came over. “Don't mind Larry,” said the chief. “He always uses big words when he's traumatized. What's the problem, sir?”
“Well, um, you see, the thing is, it's like this …” said Mr Dumble.
