When the dogs heard Noelle, they stopped playing and turned to

the girls, their tongues dangling in excitement.

“They’re friends!” Noelle said.

“Who are you, big guy?” Marie asked.

“No name, but look!” Noelle pointed to a gold metal charm that

dangled from the collar. “Madeleine’s trained him.”

“Hey, poochie. Where do you live?” Marie asked.

Ralphie jumped on top of the brown dog. After the girls laughed,

he leaped on Noelle. “Down, Ralphie!” Noelle said. “Sit.”

Ralphie sat. And so did the brown dog.

“See?” Noelle said. “Trained.”

“Let me try something.” Marie held out her hand to the brown dog

and said firmly, “Shake.”

The brown dog held out its paw. Ralphie held out his paw, too.

Marie stood up. “Roll over. Play dead. Speak.” Both dogs obeyed

each command.

“Madeleine has trained this dog,” said Marie. “We could ask her

where it lives, but we don’t know where she lives.”

“If Madeleine’s trained this dog, then it knows her commands,”

said Noelle.

“And?”

“And we’ll find out where it lives,” Noelle said.

“How?”

“You’ll see,” said Noelle.

How did Noelle find out where the brown dog lived? Tap here for the answer.
