The Heist

It was a simple recon mission: enter the gate, grab the balls; a simple in and out affair, but when her brother Ethan got cold feet and ran home to mommy and a Kraft Macaroni and Cheese dinner – and let the gate lock behind him – Jenny was alone and lost. Stuck on the wrong side of the fence she heard the familiar bark and turned to see Poppy climbing up from a small hole under the fence. “Don’t worry, Jen,” Poppy ruffed, pausing for a quick face lick, and then ran up the tree and pointed the way to safety.
