A large body struck her hard in the stomach and she was covered by flying sand. She shut her eyes and felt the sand being wiped off her face by something that seemed like a warm, rough, damp flannel. She opened her eyes and looked. It was a tongue. Its owner was a large and bouncy young Alsatian, or German shepherd, with light-brown eyes, black-tipped prick ears, a thick, soft coat, and a bushy black-tipped tail. Because it is said in the story that ' “I wish we could play with him every day,”Tess sighed. “Why can’t we?” said Tim. Sandy explained, “Because Mr. Dodsworth, who owns him, is from Liverpool, and he is only staying at the Fisherman’s Arms till Saturday.” “Is Liverpool a long way off?” “Right at the other end of England from Cornwall, I’m afraid.” It was a Cornish fishing village where the Pengelly family lived, with rocks and cliffs and a strip of beach and a little round harbor, and palm trees growing in the gardens of the little stone houses. The village was approached by a narrow, steep, twisting hill-road, and guarded by a notice that said //LOW GEAR FOR 1 1/2 MILES, DANGEROUS TO CYCLISTS.// '
 * //What happens to Sandy as she lies on the beach?//**
 * //What clues hint that Sandy and Lob will find a way to be together? //**

//What impression do you have of sandy's home and the village? //
The author tries to make the Pengelly’s village sound far away from other people and very hard to get to. Do you think she has done a good job making the village sound lonely and cut off? Why or why not?
