The Missing Dog!

Today is my first day on this job. My name is Booker T. My friends call me Big B for short. I am a detective. Someday I want to be famous. For now, I work for my friends.

This morning I had a knock at my door. I went to see who was there. It was my friend, Karen. She looked sad. She looked like something was wrong.

“Come in,” I said. “Are you okay?”
“Of course, I am not okay! That is why I am here to see you,” she said. Her face was getting very red.
“Are you hot?” I asked.
“Not hardly,” she said. “I just need you to solve a mystery for me.”
“I am here to serve,” I said with a smile.

She poured out the whole story. It seems someone had stolen her dog. It was a greyhound. His name was Jeb. He was the fastest dog on the block.

I listened to the whole story. “Do you have any leads?” I asked.
“None,” she said. “Just these dog biscuits I found in the front yard.”
“That will be a good place to start,” I said. I grabbed my jacket and hat.
“Do you need anything else?” she asked.
“I will bring my trusty magnifying glass and my notebook,” I said. “Let’s get on the trail before it gets cold!”
