Detective Dog sniffed around for clues. He followed Timmy's scent and found footprints outside the house. He carefully examined the footprints and noticed something unusual. They were heading towards the park instead of the school. Detective Dog barked happily, knowing he was on the right track.

Detective Dog arrived at the park and continued his investigation. He questioned the kids playing there if they had seen anything suspicious. One of the kids mentioned a boy wearing red shoes who was playing on the swings. Detective Dog followed this lead and found a boy named Johnny enjoying a ride on the swings.

Detective Dog asked Johnny about the red shoes. Johnny felt guilty and admitted that he had taken Timmy's shoes by mistake. Johnny had similar shoes, and in a hurry, he accidentally grabbed Timmy's instead of his own. Detective Dog praised Johnny for being honest and helped him realize the importance of returning things to their rightful owners.
