Something had caught Bug’s eye. She knew she needed to focus, but there was a book on the shelf calling to her, and from the looks on the other dogs' faces, it was calling to them, too.

“Bug, can you hear me?” The call suddenly became very real in her mind.

“I can.” She thought in return.

“It has been a long time since dogs quested. What is you all wish for?” The voice asked.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

“We need the power to protect our friends and family. We’ve ended up in some very dangerous things, and we need to find the strength to protect those who need it.” She answered

“A very worthy goal. One I am willing to assist you in. I will join your quest. Now go fight and help your friends.” The voice stopped.

Bug felt her backpack grow heavier. She wasn’t sure what had just happened, but now wasn’t the time to think about it. Andy needed her.
