Muffin and Blueberry were walking with their puppies, Corn and Bran, when the dog catcher found them. "Oops," remembered Muffin, "I forgot to get Leira to get our collars on." She told the other dogs. They started to run away. Corn and Bran couldn't keep up, so Muffin and Blueberry picked them up with their teeth. But the catcher still caught them any way. He threw them in the truck and knocked the dogs and puppies out. They drove for hours but they still didn't wake up. When they finally woke up, they were in cages. Muffin woke up first and started to look around. There were cats under them that started meowing. On top of them were dogs who were asleep. Everywhere else was either empty or full of dogs and cats. After Blueberry and the puppies woke up, a young girl came in. She looked like Leira but wasn't her. She was looking at the cats but then she spotted Muffin, Blueberry, and the puppies. She called someone but Muffin couldn't understand her. Then an adult came in and nodded to the little girl and got the guy who had captured them and pointed at Muffin, Blueberry, and the puppies. They took them out and put them in a dog carrier and took them away. When they got out of the cage, they were in front of a pink house with baby blue shutters and a light purple door. They had very comfortable beds. The girl was Leira's cousin, Ariel. Leira came to visit sometimes and Muffin, Blueberry, and the puppies lived happily ever after.

THE END.
