Bella’s dog Sparky likes to run and explore. Bella thinks that Sparky is like a magician. One moment Sparky is in the backyard and then, all of a sudden, he’s gone!

Sparky escaped again last week, so Bella set out to find him. She called out Sparky’s name as she walked. Bella even shook Sparky’s bag of dog chow. “Treats! Treats!” yelled Bella. Sparky loved his treats, but he did not appear.

Then Bella stopped. She smelled some meat grilling. She spotted a cloud of smoke from behind a house. Bella headed there and peeked in the yard. Sure enough, there was Sparky. He stood on his hind legs in front of a grill. Sparky was whistling and flipping burgers. Bella could see Sparky’s mouth drool. Bella wondered where Sparky got the apron he was wearing.
