Buttons sped round the corner, looking back over her shoulder anxiously. No one was following. Good. She looked at the houses on either side of the road, and her tail drooped. How was she supposed to know which house was Sophie’s? She was sure it had to be along here somewhere – she could feel that she’d gone in the right direction. But working out exactly which house lined up with hers was beyond her.

Perhaps she could call Sophie? She barked hopefully, then louder and louder again. Nothing happened.

Buttons sat down in the middle of the pavement and howled. She would never find Sophie.

“Buttons!”

Sophie came running along the pavement towards her, followed by Tom and Michael. “I told you I heard her barking. There is something wrong, I know there is. Oh no, I hope she hasn’t been chasing that cat.”

Buttons ran up to them, wagging her tail gratefully. She’d almost given up.

“We’d better take her back,” Tom said. “Grab her collar, Sophie, we don’t want her to run into the road.”

But when Sophie tried to catch hold of Buttons, she backed off.

“What’s the matter, Buttons?” Sophie asked, feeling confused.

“She looks upset,” Michael commented. “She isn’t wagging her tail any more. She isn’t hurt, is she?”

Sophie crouched down and tried to call the puppy over. “Here, Buttons, come on. Good girl.” But Buttons whimpered, and looked anxiously down the street.

Sophie frowned. “I think she wants us to follow her. Come on! Show me, good dog, Buttons.” And Sophie grabbed Tom and Michael by the hand and dragged them after her.

Buttons ran along in front of them, turning every few steps to check they were following.

“I hope something hasn’t happened to Mr Jenkins,” Michael muttered.

“What do you mean?” Sophie asked in an anxious voice.

“I can’t think why else she’d be so desperate for us to follow her,” Michael explained reluctantly.
