Remember, bravery isn’t size, it’s about chasing the truth. Keep wagging on, my friends. – The Foxy Chihuahua, Milo.”

He always had a certain way about him, old Milo. By God, if a disaster was to happen in Pawsburg, I’d always bank on that small-made Chihuahua dapper as a fox to steer us out of it. So when the Great Dog Biscuit Crisis of ’22 hit Pawsburg smack-dab in the middle of a lazy Tuesday, it was no surprise I had Milo by my side, navigating the chaos with his usual sprightly air.

First things first, Pawsburg, once the loveliest and quietest dog town had all hell breaking loose. It all started with an unnerving suspicion. Pawsburg’s beloved bakery, Bone Appetit, had run dry of dog biscuits. Sure, there were other morsels, Ruff-n-Ready offered a steaming bowl of puppuccino, Pooched Potatoes served an array of spuds but sans biscuits? Outrageous!

Milo, the busybody, was already on the move. By candlelight, we conspired under the Northern Choco Chihuahua Castle his petite form bathed in the cinnamon glow. Every step in our investigative journey was hushed whispers amidst furtive plans. The phones at Canine Couture Clothing rang with shared gossip, murmurs of missing biscuits spread through the town like wildfire.

Milo, resounding his peculiar affinity for carrots, utterly denied any mishap with poultry products. It’s a place where dogs sneak off to their clandestine wonderland, he held onto that heavenly ideal, proposing theories. It had to be those vexatious squirrels, pilfering our beloved treats, or a conspiracy led by poultry loyalists to undervalue our vegetarian platter of snacks.

We rendezvoused at East Bulldog Bay, conferring with Sam the labrador, his sturdy presence soothing amidst the chaos. Valiant Bella, the beagle, joined us, her wagging tail a silent testament to our shared camaraderie. Milo urged our motley crew through the windy trails, his mission clear: Unmask the outrage and retrieve what’s rightfully ours.

It dawned on us after days of investigation and enduring squeaky toys at Pawsitively Purrfect Pet Store, that the crisis was fuelled by an innocent mistake. A delayed shipment at the bakery had led to the unfortunate biscuit drought. The city of Pawsburg heaved a sigh of relief and Milo, true to his form, shrugged it off with a shake of his foxy mane.

And just as quick, we were back to our usual antics. The shops reopened, the Southern Golden Retriever river flowed quietly, and Milo with that spark in his eyes continued his big adventures with small squeaky toys paving his path. It was then I truly understood, a pint-sized hero doesn’t need grand gestures to echo bravery, sometimes, it’s just the simple act of staying true to one’s beliefs, no matter the size of the crisis. After all, you don’t measure bravery, you just feel it.

The End.
