Inspiration Behind The Spy Game

             This story is based on a puppy my brother, Ike's dog, Sheeba had. He ask me to take this puppy he named, Sidney Reilly after a spy series he and I watched together and loved. At the time I had a dog and didn't think my older dog, Snoopy would be happy with a new addition.
            My brother said okay, but he felt sure this dog was for me and he kept it with that in mind.
When the puppy was 11 months old, my brother, Ike died of a heart attack and Sidney came to me,
I was wrong. Snoopy and Sidney got along in their own way.
            Though this did not happen in real live, in The Spy Game I have my brother bring Sidney to my house to live.
