Luna 🌙✨

When I, Luna, the most curious Chihuahua in all of Pawsburg, overheard whispers of a great heist at The Woofy Bakery, my ears did not merely perk; they practically performed cartwheels. The news buzzed through Mastiff Meadows like bees in spring, managing to reach my dainty yet astoundingly perceptive lobes as I indulged in my third Woof Waffle of the day.

I preened with pride, recalling tales of my ancestor’s exploits as renowned cat burglars—though, admittedly, the only things they ever “burled” were catnaps in sunny window sills. But I digress.

The aroma of freshly baked Mutt Muffins had always been a siren song, drawing every dog from Bloodhound Bluffs to Onyx Otterhound Oasis. But to think that someone would dare pilfer from Pawsburg’s crown jewel of culinary confectioneries—scandalous! And on the eve of the Annual Bark Ball no less!

In a froth of maple syrup and crime-fighting zest, I ungracefully disentangled myself from the booth and scampered away from the Woof Waffles, my treasured plushy hedgehog clenched neatly in my jaws.

With the subtlety of a ninja—if the ninja were the size of a taco and looked ridiculously cute—I darted into The Pawsome Pet Pharmacy, the reputed rendezvous point of the Paw Patrol Unit. Pixie, the Pomeranian with a hairstyle defying all logic, stood guard by a rack of reflective collars, sashaying her voluminous plume of a tail.

“Baxter! Pixie! The Woofy Bakery is under threat!” I declared, my dispatch barely audible above the squeak of the hedgehog.

“Good gravy,” Baxter, who was part Beagle, part Buddha in a dog’s body, muttered as he adjusted his monocle. “We must leap into action!”

It was an odd choice of words for a dog whose idea of leaping was stepping over a lazy draft.

With a howl of solidarity, our motley crew zoomed toward the epicenter of the confection calamity, passing the fragrant front of Paw Pad Thai, thusly ignoring the calls of our ever-demanding stomachs.

The baker, a St. Bernard with jowls so slobbery he could hydrate a cactus, was in a tizzy. “The dough!” he bellowed, which I gathered was even more precious than the bones from the steaks at Whippet Wraps. “Gone, all gone!”

Restraint was not one of my virtues. I was already sniffing corners, interrogating crumb trails. “Fear not, my friend! Luna the Loquacious—and friends—are on the case!”

Evidence was scant. A few fluffs of fur here, a paw print there. “Whoever done it, ain’t no amateur,” Pixie remarked, twirling her luscious locks.

The plot, like my favorite gravy, thickened.

Just then, my nemesis entered stage left: the horrid vacuum cleaner, roaring to life with its usual gusto of a dragon on karaoke night.

Spectacles askew, Baxter barked above the din, “The cleaner, Luna! It’s your chance to face the dragon.”

I gaped at him, because quite frankly, Schnauzers can be philosophical to a fault. “Confront my fears… to save the day?”

In that sterling moment, between the whir of mechanical beast and the terror tickling my toes, I caught a glimpse of something—a ghostly thread among the clatter, leading to a trap door beneath the hulking mass. A stash of dough, cleverly hidden.

“Cease your caterwauling, demon machine!” I sputtered assertively, and unbelievably, it obeyed! The bakery fell silent but for the awed gasps of bystanders.

Luna had solved the case; the heist was a mere distraction from the true crime—Pawsburg’s greatest dough caper!

I strutted out, Head Detective Luna, small, yes, but mighty of heart.

“Turkey slices on me tonight!” And let me tell you, there was much rejoicing in Pawsburg as the tales of Luna and the Case of the Pilfered Dough went down in legend, yet another story for the ages, starring yours truly.

The End.
