Kit's Kennel

"Pip-peeep! Hello to you too, Kit!"

- Edward

Kit's Kennel is a magazine story.

Plot
Kit is a dog that lives with his owner in a cottage on Edward's branchline. As Edward grinds to a halt at a signal outside the cottage Kit always barks hello to Edward. His owner can't get him to go inside the house until he's barked hello to Edward. This gives Edward a worrying thought - because Kit waits for him in all weathers, he might get a chill! Further down the line, Edward has to stop at a level crossing because a van has broken down on it. Edward's crew help to push the van to safety and it's owner explains that he's a carpenter and he has a very important job to go to. Edward offers the man a lift to the next station in the brake van and, once there, Edward asks the carpenter for a favour.

A few days later, Kit was in the garden waiting for Edward, as always, when the carpenter drives up with a present from Edward - a nice, cosy, wooden kennel to keep Kit warm come rain or shine!
