Hailee, a black and brown dog, stands alone in a large green park, looking worried.
Hailee chased a butterfly, running far from DAVID and Princelee. Suddenly, she looked around and couldn't see them. "Where am I?" Hailee whimpered softly, tail low. The park felt big and scary now. "Don't worry," she said, trying to be brave. She started sniffing for clues to find her way home.

As Hailee trotted along, she spotted something shiny in the grass. "Maybe this will help!" she barked, picking up DAVID's keychain. Princelee's barking in the distance gave her hope. Hailee wagged her tail and ran toward the sound. "Wait for me!" she called out. Her paws pitter-pattered across the path.

A friendly squirrel peeked from a tree and scurried near Hailee. "Are you lost?" he asked, twitching his bushy tail. "Yes," Hailee replied, "I'm looking for DAVID and Princelee." The squirrel pointed down a flower-lined trail. "Go left at the big rock," he advised kindly. Hailee thanked her new friend and hurried on.

Hailee followed the trail but soon stepped into a muddy puddle. "Oh no, my fur!" she giggled, shaking her legs. Suddenly, Princelee's distant bark echoed again. "Princelee, is that you?" Hailee called, ears perked up. She splashed through the mud with excitement. The adventure felt less scary with a friend nearby.
Hailee, a black and brown dog, pushing through tall grass with a joyful expression. Princelee's face, a white dog with brown spots, peeking through the grass nearby.
Tall grass covered the path, almost hiding Hailee. "I hope nothing is hiding here," she whispered, sniffing nervously. Princelee's voice sounded louder. "Hailee, is that you?" he barked. "Yes, it's me!" Hailee answered joyfully. She pushed through the grass quickly, heart thumping.

Princelee appeared, tail wagging wildly. "I missed you!" he yipped, nuzzling Hailee. "I found DAVID's keychain!" Hailee showed him proudly. "Let's hurry and find DAVID," Princelee said. Together, they padded down the path. The two friends felt braver side by side.
A robin with bright red chest perched on a branch, pointing with her wing. Hailee, a black and brown dog, and Princelee, a white dog with brown spots, looking up at her in a sunny park.
A kind robin flapped down, chirping from a branch. "Looking for the boy in the red cap?" she asked. Hailee nodded eagerly. "He went that way," the robin pointed with her wing. "Thank you!" Hailee and Princelee barked together. They raced in the direction the bird showed them.

A rushing stream blocked their way. "How will we cross?" Princelee wondered. Hailee spotted some big stepping stones. "Let's hop together!" she barked confidently. Carefully, both puppies jumped from stone to stone. They cheered when they made it across safely.

"DAVID!" the puppies barked loudly together. From the hilltop, DAVID heard their barks. "Is that Hailee and Princelee?" DAVID shouted, running down. "We're here!" Hailee wagged, voice full of joy. The trio saw each other at last. Their tails and smiles matched in happiness.
