There once was a puppy named Mickey. He liked sleeping with his brothers and sisters. The ground was cold, but they kept each other warm. His mother was very pretty, and his daddy was big and strong, and they loved each other very much.

He was brave and liked to go on all sorts of adventures. He loved to chase ducks and watch the horses. He was good at swimming with the ducks, but he could never catch the horses!

When he got tired, Mickey would drink from the sprinkler. Mickey would get under the fence to chase the horses. His family would follow him around to bring him home. They’d shout, “Mickey come back!” But Mickey was having too much fun!

One day Mickey stayed out too long, and it started to get dark. Mickey didn’t know how to get home! He was scared but he tried to stay brave like his mommy and daddy taught him.

It started to rain, and Mickey found a tree to sleep under. He wasn’t sure if he’d ever find his way back! How will Mickey find his way?

Mickey woke up in the morning and wasn’t sure if he’d ever find his way. He tried to find some breakfast, but a big man found him. He chased him around with a big net, but Mickey got tired, and the man picked him up.

The man put him in the back of a truck. Mickey did not know where he was going, but at least it wasn’t raining. Maybe they were taking him back to the ducks?

The man took Mickey to a big building. There were lots of loud dogs, but The Lady who picked him up was nice. Mickey had never seen so many dogs. There were other animals too, but Mickey wasn’t sure what they were or where he was going. How will Mickey find his way?

The Nice Lady took Mickey to a place with lots of other dogs. Mickey was big and brave, but the other dogs were really loud. Mickey sat down on his bed and wondered if he would ever find his way.

One day, The Nice Lady came and put Mickey’s picture on the wall. “That’s me!” Mickey shouted as the nice lady came to feed him and all of the loud dogs their breakfast.

Mickey was happy to eat, but he didn’t get any pizza or cheeseburgers. He got to go for walks, but it didn’t feel like home. How will Mickey find his way?

Sometimes other nice people would come to say hello to Mickey and the other dogs. It got really loud. The people were nice, but they didn’t have any pizza. Sometimes they would take one of the other dogs out for a walk and they never came back. Maybe they were going to the ducks.

One day, Mickey was sleeping in his bed wondering “will I ever find my way?” The Nice Lady opened the door and a Man in a hat sat next to him. The Nice Lady put a rope on him and they walked out of his room. He got in a car with the Man, but he got to sit in the front, and he listened to music the whole way!

The Man took him to a room that was much bigger than his. The Man started washing bowls that were like his. The Man played music Mickey liked and fed him some pizza! Mickey thought, “Maybe, I’ve found my way?”

The Man would bring friends over, and they were nice to Mickey. Sometimes they even brought other dogs! Mickey missed his brothers and sisters, but it was nice to have friends. Sometimes, they’d even go to the park to meet other dogs. Big dogs. Little dogs. Mickey liked playing with all of them. Maybe Mickey found his way?

Sometimes Mickey would get in the car with the Man and drive for a long time, but Mickey liked it. He liked listening to the music, and they’d get out to see all sorts of things Mickey had never seen before. They were on an adventure. He was an adventure dog. Mickey found his way!

Mickey liked to nap and listen to music, but his favorite time was when they’d go to the beach. There were so many dogs to chase, and he could play in the waves. Mickey found his way!

At night, Mickey would dance with all his friends until everyone got tired.  The Man promised him that they’d be back soon, so Mickey didn’t worry. He cuddled up with his family and couldn’t wait for the next time they’d meet.

Mickey found his way.
