Emily’s mum phoned the police. It took ages, and she kept being put through to different people, but Emily and Jack stood next to her, listening hard and trying to work out what was happening. At last she put the phone down, and beckoned them over to sit on the sofa with her.

“Emily, the policeman I was just talking to, he’s in charge of an investigation at the moment. There’s – well, they think there’s a gang of what are called dog-nappers working in this area at the moment.”

“Dog-nappers?” Emily hadn’t ever heard the word before. Jack was just listening, wide-eyed and still teary. Emily wouldn’t talk to him, and he wanted Sam to come back, and he was miserable.

“Like kidnappers for dogs,” Mum said slowly, putting an arm round each of them. “Lots of pedigree dogs have gone missing round here recently, especially young dogs.”

“But what happens to them?” Emily whispered. She was still trying to understand what was going on – someone had stolen Sam!

Mum looked upset. She took Emily’s hand. “The policeman’s going to come round and ask us about what happened. We can ask him questions too.”

It should have been exciting, having a policeman coming to their house, like being part of an adventure story, The Case of the Stolen Dogs. But it wasn’t. Emily would much rather have had Sam back and no adventure at all.

Jack was thrilled to have a real police car outside the house at first, but then the policeman wanted to ask him what had happened when Sam was taken, and he went completely shy and wouldn’t say anything. Emily felt like screaming at him – she was furious that he’d just sat there on his trike while Sam got stolen, and now he wouldn’t even help!

The policeman made notes about what Sam looked like, and said it was good that they’d let him know quickly. “But he’s a valuable dog, I’m afraid, and being so young as well, he’s going to be very easy for them to sell on.”

Emily looked at him, confused. “But we’ll get him back before he gets sold, won’t we? You’ll find him.”

The policeman just looked sad, and gave a funny sort of cough.
