Sophie slips her arms into her jacket, her bright eyes darting around as she searches for her school bag. She brushes her hair from her face, frowning when she realizes it isn’t in its usual spot by the door. "Mom, have you seen my bag?"

Sophie[/@ch_1] hunts beneath coats and behind the umbrella stand.] Sophie pulls open the closet, her brows furrowing deeper. She calls out again, her voice tinged with worry. "I can’t be late for show-and-tell... Where did it go?"

Sophie steps onto the path, scanning around for any sign of her missing bag. Suddenly, she spots a small, fluffy dog with caramel fur bounding toward her, tail wagging. Anse (the dog) is playful, friendly, and has a tiny blue collar. "Woof! Woof!"

Sophie[/@ch_1] and Anse as they chase each other and tumble in laughter.] Sophie forgets her troubles as Anse brings her sticks and tries to lick her nose. "You’re such a silly dog, Anse! Want to play fetch?" She tosses a stick, and Anse bounds after it, barking joyfully.

Sophie[/@ch_1] sits beside Anse, catching her breath, when a sudden memory jolts her.] Sophie jumps to her feet, eyes wide with realization. "Oh no! My school bag—I completely forgot!" She pats Anse on the head, grateful for the distraction but determined to find her bag.

Sophie[/@ch_1] rushes to check inside.] Sophie pulls open the car door and there, nestled on the back seat, is her school bag—safe and sound. She grins with relief, hugging it to her chest. "Found it! I must have left it here when we got groceries yesterday," she laughs, waving at Anse, who waits patiently at the curb, tail wagging.
