The Doberman Caverns

The Doberman Caverns is the first novel of the Adventures of the Labradors series. It stars Sparks, Mookey, and Choco, and also the untruthful Midnight.

Plot
The novel starts off with Sparks, a golden Labrador puppy, really excited about telling his two friends Mookey and Choco about his idea for an adventure. He gets too excited that he falls through a thorny bush and it would hurt him too much if he goes back. Sparks carries on with his journey and finds a large tree where he hears a cat's meow, and after finding Mookey, a black Labrador puppy, stalking the cat Mookey can't get off the tree. Sparks helps him down and they both hurt each other as Mookey falls from the tree. Sparks explains about his adventure and doesn't tell Mookey where he wants to go until they find Choco, a chocolate Labrador puppy. The two puppies travel to Choco's home at a hill that he calls the Chocolate Hill and find Choco distracted because he's eating food from garbage bags like usual. Mookey shouts at him and makes Choco notice their arrival and Sparks explains about his adventure: to the Doberman Caverns. Mookey and Choco at first disagree and then Mookey says that they have to meet at the Chocolate Hill tomorrow to start the adventure.

When Sparks and Mookey travel to the Chocolate Hill the next morning, Sparks shouts at Choco to notice their arrival. They take water tanks for drinking that they take off because they are too heavy and slow them down. They arrive at an old village and see a St Bernard who shows them a painting that was painted by the only dog who sees the future. The St Bernard gives them a map and explains about the images, and Sparks now thinks that the St Bernard is a threat. They travel to a golden basket that only Sparks travels because he thinks it's one of the St Bernard's traps. He arrives in a kennels and is trapped there. Meanwhile, Mookey and Choco are attacked by Dobermans and Choco is captured. Choco is put in a plastic bag and arrives in the Doberman Fortress, where he is hired by the Doberman King to kill Mookey.

Mookey believes he is lost but sees a van pass by saying that a kennels has a brand new golden Labrador puppy, and Mookey jumps onto the van and is taken to that kennels. He finds Sparks but can't break him out of his cage. Just then, Mookey is attacked by Choco and Mookey runs away. Mookey, believing that Choco is far behind him, sniffs out a vine and is stuck to it. Choco finds Mookey and discovers that his friends are more important than rewards and frees Mookey from the vine. Choco takes a picture of Mookey playing dead and they break Sparks free.

The three Labrador puppies travel to campsite and Mookey finds a football. They play with it for a short time before digging their underground camp. The next morning they head to the eastern swamp and they fall out with Sparks, but still follow him there. Sparks accidentally set off an alarm and the Mixtures (an army of Alsatians, Pit-bulls and Dobermans) arrive to search the area. The three puppies hide and Mookey finds another black Labrador whose name is Midnight. The Mixtures leave the area, having found nothing, Midnight explained that her owner kicked her out so she is reported missing and her owner knows where she is so he can get the grand prize. Sparks then explains that they might not be home for Christmas. Choco turns crazy and Midnight stops him by noticing that Dobermans were attacking them. Sparks lies that he watches Canine Planet and that they do this all the time, and when they're about to be attacked by the Dobermans, the four puppies run into an invisible portal and arrive at the Doberman Caverns. Midnight finds a group of Dobermans and gives them orders to fire at Sparks, Mookey, and Choco. The three puppies find a golden bone that Sparks explains is the Dogscalibur, the most powerful object known to dog. Suddenly, they are attacked by the Dobermans with arrows and Mookey discovers that Midnight betrayed them. Midnight fires an arrow at Mookey but it hits Choco in his leg. Mookey apologises to Choco about all the insults he'd told him and tells Sparks to get Choco out of there. When Sparks had taken the arrow out of Choco's leg, he returned to help Mookey who explains his plan to him. Mookey and Midnight come face to face and Sparks makes large boulders fall onto her. Mookey then says: "Go to hell then." Sparks attacks the Doberman King but is hit. A rock falls onto Mookey's head and manages to get to the Doberman King and bites him. The Doberman King hit Mookey and a little tooth fell out of his mouth. Mookey was about to be killed by the Doberman King but he is shot with an arrow by Choco. They gather and Sparks says that they won't be doing that any time soon. The ceiling starts to fall and Sparks grabbed the Dogscalibur bone.

In the epilogue, Choco is back home the day after Christmas and finds a garbage bag wrapped up with a photo of three puppies with the Dogscalibur bone. Mookey had given him a message and Choco says that he did have a lot of fun on the adventure.
