Puppy bounded joyfully from one end of the yard to the other, nose twitching as he sniffed at a faded tennis ball. His small, soft ears flopped with every leap. The world felt endlessly exciting, and every corner promised a new adventure.
Puppy paused, tilting his head in wonder. He nudged the feather with his nose, feeling a strange tingle run down his spine. "What a funny feather! I wonder where it came from," he mused aloud, his tail wagging uncertainly.

Confused at first, Puppy felt his paws growing lighter, almost as if the earth was letting him go. He yipped in surprise as his body began to rise, floating inches—and then feet—above the ground. "Whoa! Am I... flying?!" he barked, excitement bubbling in his chest.

Puppy spun and wheeled, ears flapping in the wind, barking gleefully to no one in particular. "I can see everything from up here! Even the park, and the pond, and all my favorite places!" The thrill of freedom and wonder filled him with pure happiness.

For a moment, Puppy wobbled in the air, fear prickling at his paws. He remembered the comforting shape of his backyard below and the feeling of soft grass. Gathering his courage, "I have to steer! Just like chasing a ball!" he told himself, focusing on dodging the swaying branches.

Puppy landed safely, paws touching down with newfound confidence. He looked around, heart pounding with joy and pride. "I can fly! I really can!" he barked, twirling in circles. From that day forward, the world seemed brighter, and every adventure promised a touch of magic.
