The little whining is in fright for a few moments, then notices its mother. It runs to her, jumps around her happily and licks her face. The dog barking is overjoyed, a huge weight lifted off her heart. She is so grateful that she would like to give something as a gift to Tessa and Stuffie. However, she doesn't know what.
Tessa shrugs.
"Oh, that's not necessary. We like puzzles, right, Stuffie?"
"You bet we do! Tessa is the best detective I know!"
But the dog barking is determined. She wants to give something. But what?
