Welcome back young detectives. It's Snoop, your ever-faithful dog detective, along with Sniffy, your partner in training.

How much longer before I've done with training? I feel like I've been at this for about a hundred years.

Dear boy, you've been training for two weeks.

Is two weeks longer than a hundred years?

Because it feels like a hundred years.

Oh, there is much to learn if you want to be a top-notch dog detective, Sniffy, and many experiences to be had.

And you're in luck. I'm taking you on your very fast stakeout. Amazing. What's a stakeout? It's where we hide in the bushes and watch for curious activity.

And this is a particularly exciting case because the stakeout is at night. But first, we have to meet our mysterious contact. Ha! Here we are, the location for our

rendezvous. Do we sit on the bench or hide under it? The mysterious contact sent a note

requesting that we stand on the right side of the bench. Now, Sniffy, be on your highest alert.

There's no telling who the contact will be.

It's Lorraine, the neighborhood watch Duck.

Now, why would you jump to that conclusion?

Because she's standing on the bench.

She's also wearing a wig and a pair of sunglasses.

A duck in a wig and sunglasses?

How terribly strange.

Hello, snoovin, Sniffy. It's me. Secret agent number nine. I'm undercover.

Hi, Lorraine. I have no idea who Lorraine is. Agent number nine, you say.

It's definitely Lorraine. Secret agent number nine. How might we be of assistance?

I've been tracking a criminal case for several days now, but the suspect has been elusive.

A criminal case? On Bark Street?
