“But,” said Joe, “maybe she can help us find out who did take it?”

“We’d be happy to help you boys any way we can. But how?” asked Mr. Mack.

“Well, she’s good at finding where she hid all of this stuff,” said Joe. “So maybe she can track whoever took Frank’s bike.”

“Good idea!” said Frank.

Together Frank, Joe, Mr. Mack, and Lucy all headed back to the last place Frank had seen his bike.

“Okay, Lucy,” said Frank. “I need you to find my bike. Can you do that, girl?”

Lucy whined and sniffed all around where the bike had been. She laid her ears flat against her skull. She put her nose low to the ground. Slowly she started walking away. Frank and Joe followed her down the path. Halfway through the park, she suddenly turned off the path, onto the dirt.

“Look,” said Frank. He pointed to the ground. Lucy was following a set of footprints—and a bike track!

Lucy followed the tracks across the big lawn. But when they came to the road that ran through the center of the park, she lost them. The ground was drier here, and the tracks disappeared. They searched up and down, but neither the boys nor Lucy could find the trail again. They walked back to where they’d last seen the footprints. Frank kneeled down and drew them in his notebook.

“I’m sorry to get your hopes up, boys,” said Mr. Mack when he caught up with them.

“It’s okay, Mr. Mack,” said Frank. “Lucy helped us more than you might guess. I think I know whose footprints these are!”
