CHAPTER 1 Tug of Toothpaste I’m Alfie Wolfe and there’s one thing I hate the fact that my twin sister Alfreeda is stronger than I am There I said it Out loud For the whole world to hear But this story isn’t about how much I stink in the strength department Well not totally It’s about a powerful dog named Murphy A Rottweiler to be exact A Rottweiler that weighed about 100 pounds to be exacter One-hundred pounds of pure muscle and fur and bones of course to be exactest
