“He has become a television icon, people from all over the world tune in everyday to watch him. He is a international hero after saving all those people. Nobody is really sure why he keeps chasing that red frisbee as if it was the most important thing in the world. It was spinning in front of him at great speed, hovering up and down, staying just out of his reach. A lot of people were investigating who threw the frisbee, the person that could also be his owner, who probably never watched TV else he would have spotted his dog running after a frisbee on the Great wall of China, and contacted us. We will be showing you all the highlights from his visits to countries all over the world tonight, and show how he saved a lot of people and touched the hearts of many. But first these brief messages from our sponsors.”
A commercial for Barking Happy Dog Dog Food begins, it shows a dog catching a frisbee, followed by a shot of his belly which made a rumbling sound.
“If your dog likes eating, he’ll like Barking Dog Dog Food.”, The voice over said.
And a jingle started playing until the show continued.
The presenter was still there and happy as a new born sheep, “Welcome back to our TV special Running With Rocket all about the famous frisbees chasing dog we nicknamed Rocket.”
“Let’s see how he got the attention of media all over the world.”, The presenter said and turned towards the big screen behind him.
The screen showed a group of runners that were running a marathon or something, with crowds on either side of the road cheering them on.
The person running up front was holding the Olympic flame and had a big smile on his face, the camera from the chopper noticed a dog running in the same way they were going, still far from them but speeding up fast, following a red disc flying in front of him.
He quickly gained up and moved his way through the group of runners, the disc passed through the flame untouched and the dog continued running after it, some of the runners tripped over their own feet.
Ever since that moment all the TV crews following the Olympic flame were more interested in the dog and they received stories from placed he had been before by people that saw the dog running by them.
The presenter continued while he walked over to a middle aged woman, “Let’s talk about what kind of dog Rocket is with an expert on dogs Muriel Narramore, veterinarian.”
With a big smile on his face the presenter asked, “So Muriel What kind of dog is Rocket?”
“Clearly a border collie.”, Muriel replied her voice trembled a bit.
“Thank you very much.”, The presenter said and turned back to the first camera.
Behind him a video begins playing showing Rocket running after the frisbee with the tower of Pisa behind him.
“From all the photos and videos made with mobile phones and camcorders we have compiled the best shots of our four legged friend.”, The presenter explained.
While the viewers at home saw a photo of the dog jumping over the hood of a London taxi with the disc floating in front of him the presenter added, “And here we see him jumping the hood of a London car, makes you wonder how he got across the pond doesn’t it.”
More photos slide by showing the dog in action, from Amsterdam to Tokyo.
People were pointing and taking photos, kids were running after him.
“But there are people that want to harm our hero, some tried to catch the frisbee themselves, this next video shows that.”, The presenter said.
A video began playing of Rocket running along a busy street in Berlin when someone tries to catch the red frisbee, and miraculously the frisbee gets caught in a gust of wind and flies over the person that was in mid air jumping towards it.
“That sure was—close!” The presenter said.
“We have much more when we return after a message or two from our sponsors.”
Another commercial begins now showing a 3D animated border collie running through a field with sheep, coming towards the camera, when a frisbee comes from the right side, he chases it and catches the frisbee mid air while he crosses over a steep canyon but makes it safely to the other side.
A choir sings, ‘Frissy Frisbees, the real frisbee!’
“The original frisbee that even Rocket can’t do without, make your way to your nearest pet store to buy one of the limited edition frisbees with original Rocket paw print!”, the voice over cheerfully said.
“Welcome back to Running With Rocket!” The presenter said while he dashed back to the big television screen.
“Time for some more great moments, here are some footage shot by our news network from all over the world.”
People watching the show could now see Rocket running in Paris with the eiffel tower behind him, he is running towards a cafe on the corner of two streets.
He jumps on one of the tables knocking over cups of espresso and starling the two lovers that were making out, he is flying through the air over one of the waiters, ‘Sacrebleu!’ the waiter yelled.
But Rocket’s teeth couldn’t reach the frisbee in time and he continued running towards Brussels.
“He almost nipped the frisbee in Paris, his journey took him all over the planet, but his most remarkable appearance was in..”
“But before we go into that we have some more bits of Rocket running around the globe.”
Photos of Rocket running up mountains and running through the desert slide by.
The camera cuts back to the presenter who is now standing next to two guests.
“And here to talk about the frisbee are champion frisbee throwing Douglass Engstrom and his dog Fido the 3rd, and Professor Rueben Forchione.”
The presenter to the very professorial looking professor and asked, “First I have a question for the professor, how is it possible that the frisbee keeps on flying for days, months even?”
The professor removed the pipe from his mouth and replied, “It’s simply impossible.”
That was not the answer the presenter was expecting, “Well, that’s what you say. Let’s go to the real expert on frisbees.”
Reuben tried to continue so he could explain but the presenter turned towards the champion.
“So Douglass, and Fido the 3rd. Do you see Rocket as a possible competition?”
“Well, he is very good at running and doesn’t give up, but so far he has failed to catch it.”, Douglass said followed by laughter and Fido the 3rd’s barking.
“That’s true but who knows he might catch it today.”, The presenter said.
He walked back to the big screen and said, “And now for some more messages from our sponsors.”
Another commercial with heavy rock music in the background and someone shouting.
“Rocket Energy Drink! If you need the extra energy to run or study on tests.
Rocket Energy Drink!
If you need energy..”
The commercial gets cut off and the presenter is in front of the camera with a gigantic smile on his face, “We have fantastic news! We have found the owner of Rocket! Let’s go to the live feed with our top reporter Sharice Belka.”
The viewers at home saw Sharice standing in a park with behind her a man being verbally molested by a horde of reporters.
“Yes, can you hear me in the studio.”, She asked.
“We sure can Sharice.”, The presenter joyfully announced.
Sharice continued, “Good, we found the owner of the dog his name is Bobby Habbyshaw, a 26 year old nurse from Manhattan.”
The reporter walks to the owner pushing the other reporters aside.
She began her inquisition, “I’m Sharice Belka from KVX86 News Network, is Rocket your dog?”
“His name is Zigzag!” Bobby yelled back.
Sharice failed to listen and continued, “Has Rocket ever done this before?”
“No I might have just thrown that one a bit to hard.”, He replied.
None of the reporters knew what to say to that, but Sharice got an urgent message from the studio, “Sharice are you there? We received news that the dog is coming your way!”
And right after the presenter told her the dog was already running towards his owner.
The camera crews filmed the dog running towards his owner with the red disc still flying in front of him.
Bobby got on his knees and the dog used his back as a springboard and flew through the air and finally caught the frisbee.
The dog was happy to be reunited with his owner, and so was his owner, “Good boy, yes, what a good boy.”
“Next time I’ll throw this tennis ball.”, Bobby said and the dog barked as if it was saying ‘Sure!’
Then the two walked back to their home, leaving the TV crews behind.
The presenter finished the show with the following words,
“And that’s the story of Rocket the frisbee champion slash hero slash traveller slash TV star slash dog.”
