It was Thursday night, and Ellie and Lucy were in the little park close to the village hall where Jo held their dog-training classes. Lucy’s mum was sitting on one of the benches, chatting to Jack’s mum and Ellie’s dad.

Lucy only had a few more days until the filming of her TV ad, on the Monday of half-term. She’d been getting more and more worried about the dog in the photo all that week, and she’d been asking Ellie every day if she’d arranged for her to meet Hugo, but tonight was the first chance they’d had.

“Why do you have to take the dogs for a walk before dog training?” Lucy asked, looking confused.

“It wears them out a bit,” Jack explained. “That way, they’re better at doing what they’re told.” He grinned. “Hugo needs all the help he can get.”

“And it means they can have a wee before they go into the hall,” Ellie pointed out. “Rascal weed up one of the radiators once,” she admitted. “It was so embarrassing.”

Jack shuddered. “Hugo’s never done that. Yet.”

Ellie giggled. “He might flood the hall if he did!”

“Can I stroke him?” Lucy asked Jack suddenly. She’d been working herself up to do it, Ellie realized.

“Course. He’s very friendly,” Jack promised her. “He likes being scratched under the chin and behind his ears.”

Cautiously, Lucy reached out her hand and rubbed Hugo’s soft ears, as lightly as she possibly could.

Hugo looked rather surprised, and his ears twitched as though he thought maybe a fly had landed on him.

“More than that!” Ellie told her.

Nodding, Lucy patted Hugo’s ears a little more firmly, and he closed his eyes and wagged his tail.
