Hey Mom,

Another bonkers day in Pawsburg! I teamed up with Officer Charlie to track down the Bone Collector who swiped goodies from all over town – including my prized squeaky ball. Turns out it was an old husky with a collection obsession. 😂 We solved the mystery and returned everyone’s belongings. Pawsburg’s safe once again, thanks to yours truly – your furry, four-legged detective!

Tail wags and face licks,
Corbeebee 🐾🕵️‍♂️✨

There’s something about a good sniff that can shake the very foundation of a dog’s soul. Especially when you’re Corbin, a Boston Terrier with as much charm as the Policeman’s Ball at Pinscher Plaza. Picture me, out for a jaunt in the character-stuffed confides of Pawsburg, where every pup knows your scent, and your business is everyone’s howl.

It was a crisp Pawsburg morning, the kind that slaps your snout with the fresh promise of mystery. One moment I was dreaming of the savory peanut butter-stuffed kongs from Bark-n-Bite Bistro, the next I awoke to a day so bright, my customary shadow, Prescott, could’ve used some shades. I stretched, yawned, and then, with the gusto only a four-legged gumshoe can muster, I slipped out of my human’s abode.

My destination? Garnet Greyhound Grove. It was there I met Charlie, a rookie cop with ears too big for his head and dreams too big for this town. Together, we were sniffing out a lead on the Bone Collector. This tail-wagger had been hoarding all the bones in Pawsburg, leaving none for us law-abiding, tail-chasing citizens.

Oh, I had a personal stake alright. The Bone Collector had swiped my favorite, well-gnawed blue squeaky ball right from under my wet nose. You could say it left me feeling…deflated.

“Corbin, buddy,” Charlie flopped by my side, panting more from nerves than exertion. “This is serious business. You ready?”

“Charlie,” I barked with a wink, “I was ready before you were a pup on your mother’s teat.”

We trotted down to Sniffer’s Sandwiches where the whispers were as thick as the pastrami. “The Collector was here,” the server, a shifty-eyed beagle, reported. “Made off with the prize marrow bone.”

“Any leads?” Charlie asked, the green in him showing greener than the tennis balls at Woof and Whisker Wellness Center.

Before he could spill more than crumbs, a bark rippled through the air — the Collector had struck again, this time at The Fetching Feline Pet Emporium.

We skedaddled, fur against the clock. As we arrived, the scene was tense, a catnip toy dangling mysteriously in midair. “This was no random snatching,” I muttered, noticing a pattern. We were dealing with a pro, a canine capable of both cunning and… fetch.

Through whispers, chases, and a temperamental thunderstorm that had me craving the warm embrace of my cushioned bed, we pieced it together. A clue at The Tail Wagger’s Tailor (a thread of presumption) led us to our final confrontation at Eskimo Estuary, under the shimmering Borealis.

There he was, the Bone Collector, surrounded by a mountain of ill-gotten goods. His tail wagged not with joy but with the nervous twitch of defeat as Charlie and I cornered him. Agent Charlie, with newfound bravado, took the lead. “Paws up, buddy. The game’s over.”

Turned out, the Collector was an old husky with poor eyesight and a pension for collecting; he’d been mistaking our belongings for bones.

The chase was thrilling, the reveal less so, but the satisfaction? Delicious as a gourmet kong on a Sunday afternoon. As we returned the stolen treasures to their rightful owners, the town hailed us heroes. I must say, the spotlight suits me, though it’s nothing compared to the embrace of my humans or the wind on a car ride.

So there you have it. A day in the life of me, Corbin – just your average, dashing Boston Terrier, making Pawsburg a better place, one sniff, and one sleuthing adventure at a time.

The End.
