Emily was walking to school one sunny morning when she heard a soft whimpering from the park.
She followed the sound and found a small, shivering puppy under a bush, with no collar to be seen.
Worried, Emily looked around for an owner, but the park was empty, except for the birds and squirrels.
She gently picked up the puppy and decided to take it to school, where she could ask for help.
At school, Emily's teacher, Mrs. Smith, saw the puppy and the concern in Emily's eyes.
Mrs. Smith said they'd make posters to find the puppy's home after class, and Emily felt hopeful.
During recess, Emily's friend, Jack, saw her sitting with the puppy and came over.
Jack listened to Emily and wanted to help. 'Let's check the Lost and Found,' he suggested.
They found an old blanket in the Lost and Found, and wrapped the shivering puppy in it.
After school, Emily and Jack hung up the posters they made, with a drawing of the puppy and a phone number to call.
A few days passed, and just when Emily started to worry, her phone rang with good news.
The puppy's family had seen the poster! They were so thankful and invited Emily to visit anytime.
