Cats and Dogs

How did a cat end up locked in a room at the county jail? Read this story and find out!

"Oh no!" said Billy Bob Joe, a cute little chihuahua dog. "My favorite bone is missing!" Billy Bob Joe's favorite bone was no ordinary chew toy. In fact, the gray bone was covered in diamonds and pictures of horses.

Billy Bob Joe called his good friend Earth, the squirrel, and told him about the missing toy. Earth got right on the case and began following the clues.

First, he looked at the video surveillance film and saw that while Billy Bob Joe was sleeping, a cat snuck into the stage where he lived and took the bone. Earth asked some of his detective friends if they recognized the cat, and one of them did. It was the mean, orange, cat named Barney. Barney had fangs and was wanted by dogs everywhere for stealing stuff.

Earth knew if he solved this case, he'd be famous! He followed the tracks from the stage to Barney's hideout and even though Earth was scared of cats, he did something very brave.

Earth snuck into Barney's hideout while Barney was asleep and, using lightning fast skills, switched the stolen bone for a fake bone. When Barney woke up and realized he'd been tricked, it was too late. The police had surrounded him and were ready to take him to jail.

And THAT"S how a cat ended up in a room at the county jail.

The end.
