Have you seen my doggy?
In chapter 1, Buck is stolen and sold by the treacherous Manuel. We never learn how Judge Miller feels after
losing his dog. Your job is to help Judge Miller in the search for his beloved dog. Create a missing poster for
Buck that can be hung up in the Santa Clara Valley area. Be sure to include all of the required information listed
below.
Missing Poster Requirements:
-Posters should be no larger than a regular sheet of computer paper.
-All writing must be typed or written in marker/colored pencils.
-Must have a large heading or title.
-Must include :
- A picture of Buck (either drawn by hand or from the internet). The dog should look similar to what a St.
Bernard/Scotch Shepherd mix would be. Use the physical description in the book to assist you.
- A description of Buck’s physical appearance and behavior/personality. (Remember this would be
according to Judge Miller or one of the Miller children.) Any details from the book must have a page
numbers after them in parenthesis. (The first few pages of the chapter will be most helpful.)
- A reasonable reward. Remember, Buck was sold to Francois and Perrault for $300. He was exchanged
for $150 to the people that assisted in his kidnapping. Judge Miller is a rich man. How much is Buck
worth to him?
-Contact information. Create a unique address using the information Buck gives us in his description of
Judge Miller’s home. The city is Santa Clara Valley and the state is California.
-Include where Buck was last seen and with whom. Use what really happened to Buck in your clues to
Buck’s whereabouts. Any specific details from the book that are used should be followed with page
numbers in parenthesis.
