On Saturday morning, Leo noticed that the garden gate was open and his puppy, Pepper, had disappeared.
“Pepper!” he called, running down the lane. He asked the baker, the postman and the girl who sold flowers. No one had seen a small brown puppy.
Leo was about to give up when he heard a tiny bark from behind the bakery. There, curled up beside a warm vent, was Pepper, nibbling a stale crust.
Leo scooped up the puppy and hugged him tightly. “Never run off again,” he said, though he was grinning. The baker handed him a bun. “For the search party,” she smiled.
