‘I thought I saw this dog earlier,’ said Mike, lowering his camera as he chuckled. ‘He’s quite a performer too.’

‘No collar, just a hanky round his neck,’ noted Iona. She crouched beside Mr Dog. ‘Perhaps he’s a stray. Or … perhaps he belongs to Noel?’

Mr Dog yipped crossly. How dare you! he said, but of course it only came out as an indignant whine.

‘If he is Noel’s dog, perhaps he ran away in the storm like the other animals,’ said Mike. ‘If we catch him and return him, Noel might actually let us into her home.’

‘More likely she’d take one look at our cameras and chuck us off her land,’ said Iona. Then she smiled and started rummaging about in her backpack. ‘Although maybe bringing the dog to her is still a good idea …’

No, it’s a very bad idea, Mr Dog longed to tell her. Because I am NOT Noel’s dog! And I hate to think what she’ll do to me if you hand me over! Deciding it was time to go, he quickly pushed his nose into the rucksack and sniffed out a brown bag with sandwiches inside.

‘Forgive me,’ said Mr Dog, ‘but I believe this bear’s need is greater than yours!’ He grabbed the bag in his jaws and pulled it out.

‘Hey, cheeky!’ Iona had taken something from the backpack herself, but Mr Dog couldn’t see what it was. She grabbed hold of Mr Dog’s makeshift collar and fiddled with it. ‘I have something to give you, but it’s not something you can eat …’

‘Unhand me, madam!’ Mr Dog pulled quickly away from her and ran off back to the bear with his purloined prize. ‘Come on, Zeus. I have the sandwiches. Let’s go!’

‘Wait!’ called Iona. ‘Don’t just run off!’ She made to go after him, but Zeus suddenly roared at Iona which stopped her in her tracks. Then he turned, dropped to all fours, and crashed through the undergrowth with Mr Dog.

Iona groaned. ‘They’re getting away, Mike!’

‘Thanks for the sandwich,’ Mr Dog yapped back, but of course to human ears it came out only as, ‘Wuff-wuff WUFF!’
