= **__ The Mystery Of The Missing Chihuahua __** = ** “Dogs, time to go outside!” said Karen as she called her dogs. ** ** The two Chihuahuas came sprinting down stairs at full speed and ran outside. Their names are Tiny, and Tank. ** ** “Connor, when the dogs come in, do you want to watch a movie with your dad and me?” ** ** “Sure. What movie?” Connor replied. ** ** “I don’t know yet. I figured that you could go to the corner store with your dad and rent a movie.” ** ** “Okay, sounds good. Tell dad I’ll get his wallet. We’re taking your car right?” Connor asked. ** ** “Yes. I think dad’s wallet is in his car though.” ** ** “Alright, I’ll go get it.” ** ** “Okay,” replied Karen. “Dogs come inside now!” said Karen as she called the two Chihuahuas inside the house. ** ** Connor went into the garage where his father’s car was. He opened the car door, and started searching for the wallet. He found it in the glove box. His dad’s car was always unlocked when it was in the garage because his dad, Vinny, didn’t want to lock his wallet inside the car. He usually brought his wallet inside the house where he kept his car keys but sometimes he would forget to bring his wallet into the house. When Connor had the wallet he shut the door of the car and walked inside to his house. He saw his dad and said: “Let’s go to the store and rent the movie now.” ** ** “Alright Connor, let’s go.” ** ** 10 minutes later... ** ** “Karen, were home!” said Vinny when he and his son got home. ** ** “Okay. What movie did you guys get?” ** ** “We actually got two.” Replied Vinny ** ** “Yeah, we got The Hangover and Stepbrothers.” ** ** “Okay let’s start the movies.” said Karen. ** ** Three hours and thirty minutes later... ** ** “Whoa! It’s already 12:00 am!” exclaimed Vinny. “Connor, you have to get your rest, you have a soccer tournament tomorrow and the first game is at 9:30. Time to go to bed.” said Vinny. ** ** “FINEEEEEEE!” said Connor in an annoyed voice. ** ** “Wait a minute...where’s Tank?” said Karen in a worried voice. ** ** “I don’t know. When and where did you see him last?” Vinny asked. ** ** “Uhhhhhh before the movies about four hours ago when I let him outside.” Karen said. Her voice was getting more and more panicky. ** ** “Did you leave them outside?!” exclaimed Connor. “It’s really cold outside right now! He could be dead!” ** ** “Hold on a minute. Where’s Tiny?” asked Vinny. ** ** “She’s right here with me.” Said Connor ** ** “Oh. So then you couldn’t of left Tank outside because Tiny is here.” ** ** “So then where is he!? Connor yelled in a very worried voice. He was almost in tears. He loved his dog so much. ** ** “I don’t know,” said Vinny “but I’m going to go drive around the neighbourhood in my car to look for him. I’ll knock on some doors to see if anyone has seen him around the neighbourhood.” said Vinny in a soothing voice. He was trying to calm down his son Connor and his wife Karen. ** ** As soon as Vinny opened the door to his car door, there was Tank. The whole family was so relieved. They gave him treats and they kept hugging him. They were so happy! **

** Do you know how Tank the Chihuahua got in the car? ** ** Answer: When Connor went to go get his dad’s wallet, Tank followed him into the garage and then when Connor wasn’t looking, he jumped in the car and went into the back seat. Connor didn’t notice him and shut the car door when Tank was still in the car. **
