In a bustling city full of canine friends and hidden treasures, lived a sleepy dog named Milo. Milo was known for his love of bones and his ability to nap anywhere, anytime.
One sunny afternoon, while Milo was snoozing under a tree, his friends, the city dogs, were playing fetch nearby. Suddenly, a mischievous cat named Whiskers appeared, causing chaos and stealing their ball.
"Oh no!" cried Milo's friends. "Whiskers has taken our ball!" Milo, awakened by the commotion, rubbed his eyes and looked around.
"Don't worry, friends," said Milo, "I'll get our ball back." Despite his sleepiness, Milo knew he had to help his friends. He bravely set off towards Whiskers' hiding place.
As Milo approached Whiskers' lair, he felt a shiver of fear. It was dark and spooky. But remembering his friends' faces, he took a deep breath and stepped inside.
Inside, Milo found Whiskers playing with the stolen ball. "Give it back, Whiskers!" Milo demanded. But Whiskers just hissed and swiped at Milo with her sharp claws.
Milo was scared, but he remembered a tip his mom had given him: "When you're scared, take deep breaths and think of something you love." So, Milo thought of his friends and their happy faces when they played fetch.
With newfound courage, Milo barked loudly, startling Whiskers. He quickly grabbed the ball and ran out of the alley, Whiskers hot on his tail.
