One sunny afternoon, Kaya was walking home from school when she spotted a small dog looking lost and scared at the corner of her street. The dog had fluffy fur and big, sad eyes that seemed to be searching for something. Kaya approached slowly, not wanting to scare it away. 'Hello there, little one,' she whispered, offering her hand. The dog sniffed her hand and wagged its tail.

The Lost Dog

Kaya knew she couldn't leave the dog alone on the streets. 'I'll help you find your home,' she promised. She made a makeshift leash from her jump rope and led the dog home. Her parents agreed to let the dog stay for the night. Kaya and the dog, which she temporarily named Buddy, quickly became friends.

A New Friend

The next morning, Kaya made 'Lost Dog' posters with Buddy's picture on them. She spent the day walking around the neighborhood, asking if anyone recognized the dog. Many people stopped to help, but no one knew where Buddy belonged. Despite the setbacks, Kaya didn't give up hope. She knew Buddy's family was out there, missing him.
