Dog Story Comprehension Worksheet
The Unexpected Visit
Every Saturday, Alfie the spaniel waited beside the front door with his lead in his mouth. He loved the muddy path through Willow Woods, where he could sniff tree roots and chase fallen leaves. But one chilly morning, Florence clipped on his lead and walked past the turning for the woods. Alfie slowed down. His ears drooped as the familiar path disappeared behind them. Florence gave his head a reassuring pat. “We’re going somewhere new today,” she said. After a twenty-minute walk, they reached a community centre. Inside, sunlight fell across a room filled with chairs, plants and a table of board games. A woman called Mrs Green welcomed them. “The afternoon group is just arriving,” she said. “Some people have been feeling lonely, so we thought a friendly visitor might brighten the day.” Florence explained that Alfie was calm around people. Soon, an older man named Mr Shah sat down beside him. At first, Mr Shah said nothing. He gazed at the rain on the window and rubbed his hands together. Alfie rested his chin gently on Mr Shah’s knee. The man looked down and began to smile. “You’ve got a very soft head,” he said, scratching Alfie behind the ears. A moment later, he was telling Florence about the dog he had owned as a boy. Other visitors came over to say hello, and the room grew louder with cheerful conversation. Then the lights flickered and went out. Someone gasped. From the hallway came a sharp beeping sound. Mrs Green calmly asked everyone to stay seated while she checked the building’s safety instructions. Florence held Alfie’s lead, and Alfie pressed close to her leg. Outside, rain tapped against the dark windows.
