Tricky by Kari Rust


A good villain is so easy to be delightedly outraged by. 


Tricky, the dog, and his Duke a famous in their town.


Or rather, notorious. 


After all their bad behavior, they would go home and revel in their badness. 


Meeting the new baker, Duke and Tricky continued their devious behavior.


But for some reason, the new baker didn't know their reputation and repaid their badness with kindness. How could she? 


Her kindness confused things--it made tricky feel warm inside. 


When the Duke did his usual bad things at the bakery the next day, Duke did not approve. 


But he is just a dog, what can he do?


Besides stuff a loaf of bread in the toilet, oversoap the water and stuff dead fish under the furniture. 

Of course, Tricky had learned from the best, so he knew how to be wicked! 


The Duke had no mercy on his old pal.


But the mistreated baker did! 


The Duke found that badness wasn't possible or fun without Tricky. 


So he left town. To maybe turn over a new leaf in a new town. 


Meanwhile, Tricky and the baker got along beautifully!
