‘Maybe … maybe a rhoetosaurus egg went into suspended animation,’ suggested Pete. ‘Or fell through a time warp. Hey, did you know birds are descended from dinosaurs? Maybe Spot is a throwback!’

‘You mean a bird laid an egg and Spot hatched out?’ said Gunk disbelievingly.

‘Well, have you got a better idea?’ demanded Pete.

‘No,’ admitted Gunk.

‘Anyway, rhoetosauruses didn’t have the same skeletons as the dinosaur birds,’ said Pete, growing more and more enthusiastic. ‘You see some dinosaurs had hips like birds and some had hips like …’

‘Er, excuse me,’ said Gunk politely, ‘but this isn’t really the time for a lecture on dinosaurs.’

Pete blushed. ‘l’m always doing that,’ she admitted. ‘People think I’m weird to go on about dinosaurs so much, so I just shut up and think about them instead. Oh, Spot, I wish you could talk. Then you could tell us how you got here!’

‘Spt,’ said Spot.

‘Talk English, I mean,’ amended Pete.

‘Spt, spt,’ said Spot.

‘I don’t suppose we’ll ever know how Spot got here,’ said Pete. ‘Even if Spot could speak English, she probably doesn’t know what happened to her when she was just an egg. I mean you can’t remember when you were a tiny baby, can you?’

‘No,’ said Gunk.

‘Anyway, it doesn’t matter how she got here,’ said Pete. ‘The question is what do we do with her now?’

‘What do you mean?’ Gunk stared. ‘You said Spot can sleep in the shed and …’

‘Not where is she going to sleep, you cucumber brain!’ interrupted Pete. ‘How do we stop other people finding out she’s a dinosaur? Spot looked like a dog when she was small and furry — well, an odd dog anyway. But now she’s bigger and she’s going bald someone is sure to notice soon!’
