The Tail Of Two Dogs

14 Nov 08, 1.54pm
Once upon a time at the end of Half Moon Lane there was a young lady walking her beloved Dalmatian. They had just reached Rocket Park when her companion went off to explore and vanished from sight. Despite calling and calling, he did not return. Fraught with worry the lady ventured into Fantastic Fireworks for help. She told the handsome display manager about her lost dog and he kindly took her number and went off to search.

Some hours later there was still no sign of the lost Dalmatian. However, a gentleman who was passing Rocket Park came into Fantastic Fireworks and said there was a lost dog walking around the Yard. Could this be the lost dog they were looking for? The valiant display manager rescued the lost dog and called the number on the collar at once. The owner was very relieved, but this was not the lost Dalmatian. Seeing the disappointment in the display manager’s ocean-blue eyes, the gentleman told him that he had also seen a Dalmatian only couple of hours earlier. He said it had been put into the back of a van in Half Moon Lane. Could this be possible, was the lost dog now a stolen dog!?

The charismatic display manager quickly rang the number he had been given by the young lady. There was no answer so he left a message explaining her much-loved companion could have been stolen. Having a dog of his own the prince - I mean display manager - felt the lady’s anguish and began to call the RSPCA and the police.

During the phone calls (which did not seem to be going anywhere fast) another member of the Fantastic Fireworks A-Team took a call from the young lady. She thanked FF for all the help and informed them that she had recovered her Dalmatian safely. Relieved, the display manger could only think that the gentleman from earlier had seen the lady recover her dog in her own van on Half Moon Lane. During the commotion the display manager, despite his acute sense of awareness, had not noticed the other lost dog being collected by its owner.

Finally the crisis had been resolved and the tail of two dogs had ended. The owners and their companions lived happily ever after.

Based on a true story. No dogs were harmed during the writing of this blog
