Cinderelmo's evil stepsister got to go to dog shows, and be admired. Oh, she tried to claim that she didn't really like going to dog shows, that it was boring, but Cinderelmo wasn't fooled.
He knew that being a show dog must actually be wonderfully glamorous.
Cinderelmo thought he was quite capable of being a show dog, and didn't understand why everyone laughed at the idea. But he just kept on being proud of being Elmo, and waited for his chance to come....
Even when his person came up with alarming new ideas about work for Cinderelmo, he didn't complain.
One day, Cinderelmo learned that he had two godmothers he hadn't known about! From his godmothers, Cindy and Karyn, Cinderelmo and his person learned that there would be a dog show held in the land of UKC, and there would be classes for altered dogs! Not that Cinderelmo knew why people said he was altered; he felt the same as he always had. But, he was a sweet, honest, and agreeable dog, so he didn't argue the point.
Cinderelmo just got to work convincing his person to take him to the dog show. He used his best "please take me to the dog show" face....
And it worked! Cinderelmo got to go to the dog show.
There were lots of beautiful dogs at the dog show. But Cinderelmo was not worried. He knew that he was the most handsome dog there. He trotted proudly around in a circle, with his head high. He stood confidently, with his chest out, until the judge came near him and he had to wag his tail and pin his ears back, so she would know that, proud of himself as he was, he wasn't too proud to say hello.
He had a wonderful time!
