“He isn’t wearing a collar,” said Grant. “Any good dog owner would have a collar and a rabies tag on their dog to show it’s had its shots.” “Well, maybe he has a bad owner,” Papa said. “Then we sure can’t give him back!” said Christina. When she saw Mimi and Papa look at one another, Christina cheered: “Yeah! We can keep him!” “I did not say that, Christina,” said Mimi. “We have to try to find its owner,” Papa insisted. Grant made a big deal out of looking out of all the windows. “What in the world are you doing, Grant?” asked Mimi. Grant shrugged his little shoulders. “Looking for the puppy’s owner. But I don’t see them anywhere. Do you?” “Ok, ok,” said Papa. “We’ll take this doggone dog with us as far as Jamestown, so he won’t get run over.” “But when we get there, I will put it on the Internet that we found a lost dog,” Mimi insisted. “And if someone claims him, we’ll have to give him back.” Christina and Grant groaned. Suddenly, Papa started to laugh. The puppy had climbed up on his neck and was licking him like crazy. 101
“What kind of silly dog is it, anyway?” asked Mimi. That made the puppy pounce on her and start licking her arms, face, and curls. In the backseat, Christina and Grant howled with laughter. The dog jumped over the backseat and into their laps. It was a real smoochfest! The puppy slathered them with wet, sloppy kisses…and they did the same to the dog. “Oh, brother,” said Papa. “By the way, it’s a bloodhound. That’s what kind of dog he is. They’re trained to find things or people. They are even used by police or other law enforcement when a crime’s been committed.” Christina and Grant got so quiet that Mimi turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Nothing,” Christina answered without thinking. “I was just thinking a bloodhound might really come in handy.” Her grandmother looked confused…and suspicious. “Handy for what?” she asked. Grant came to the rescue. “Handy as a pet!” 102
