Hey Mom and Dad 🐾,

Cracked another case in Spencerville today! Led my squad from Furry Precinct Nine-Nine to sniff out a biscuit bandit and returned the treats safe and sound. Imagine a pug turning into Sherlock Bones! Didn’t have time for a spa victory lap though – duty calls, even over an ear-cleaning. Miss you both, give my R2D2 a squeeze for me!

Hugs and head tilts,
Baby Girl 🕵️‍♀️👮‍♀️🐶

I strolled down the bark-paved lanes of Spencerville with the sort of purpose usually reserved for a dog with a fresh bag of popcorn in her snout. My paws clicked against the ground like a detective’s fingers on a keyboard – and that’s because I was one. Jasmine Pug, at your service, Spencerville’s finest four-legged officer in pet law enforcement. My gray-flecked legs carried me swiftly towards the squad’s headquarters at Furry Precinct Nine-Nine.

“Morning, J,” barked Pahoehoe as I entered the bustling hub of Spencerville’s most esteemed defenders of fur and fun. Pahoehoe, a pug with a Hawaiian name and a surfer dog attitude, was my right paw.

“Any perps today, or is it all belly rubs and back scratches?” I jested, watching my comrades eagerly sniff the air, tails wagging like rudders in a storm.

Before Pahoehoe could retort, Dotty, our dispatcher and a Dalmatian with more spots than the Golden Retriever River has waves, announced, “We’ve got a Code K9 at The Snooty Snout Boutique. A missing biscuit batch case. The perp left a trail of crumbs leading towards Black Bulldog Bay.”

I arched an eyebrow, or at least as well as a pug can. “Did someone say ‘crumbs’?” Ever the investigative gourmet, I had my interests piqued. Time to collar some dastardly dessert-thieving delinquent. My fellow officers and I leaped to action—Percy, Panda, Chloe, and the Bullmastiff Earl, whose sheer size belied his mild manners unless tummy rubs were denied.

We arrived at the crime scene in a jingle of dog tags and a chorus of hushed barks. The Pup ‘n’ Go Taco Joint faintly wafting its irresistible scents into the air, but duty called. The shop’s owner, a posh Poodle by the name of Penelope, was in a quite undignified tizzy. “They’ve taken the whole new batch of liver-flavored biscuits!” she howled.

The scent was fresh, the riddle delicious—figuratively and literally. I began to sniff around, my soulful gray-accented eyes scanning every crumb as if it whispered secrets from another world. The white half-heart on my chest seemed to glow with valor, and I found myself thinking of mom-and-dad waiting back home.

“This way, team!” I huffed, now on the trail. By the time the sun kissed the horizon, leaving its warm embrace on Spencerville’s rooftops, we had collared the culprit: Tess, a rogue terrier with a biscuit obsession and a penchant for pilfering.

Back at the precinct, we returned the biscuits to Penelope, who insisted on a photoshoot with us at the Spa for Paws as a thank you. I declined, citing an aversion to ear-cleanings, but my colleagues jumped at the opportunity for pampering.

That night, I met with my siblings Ashely and Ell Gee, recounting the day’s adventure over a shared bounty of popcorn, savoring the symphony of crunches. Another day, another curious case in the ever-wondrous Spencerville, my canvas of challenges and charms.

I sprawled in my bed, the cherished R2D2 bath toy tucked under my chin, and pondered tomorrow’s escapades, knowing my spirits would be high, the camaraderie tight, and the perps… well, they never stood a chance against Jasmine Pug, ace detective of Furry Precinct Nine-Nine.

The End.
