Two days later, the squirrel made its move. Max took the bait, finding a loose board in the fence Sarah hadn't seen. He was gone in a flash of gold.
"Hey! I found a very fast dog named Max sitting outside my kitchen window. Saw your number right on his collar. Want to come pick up your track star?"
His owner, Sarah, lived in constant, affectionate anxiety. Max had already been "escorted" home by the mail carrier twice and once by a very confused pizza delivery driver. Each time, his standard jingle-tag had somehow fallen off in his brush-heavy adventures, leaving him an anonymous wanderer.
When the package arrived, Max wagged his entire back half. Sarah snapped the heavy-duty buckle shut. No more jingling like a janitor's keyring—just a sleek, silent, and very clear statement: I am Max, and I belong at 55 Oak Street.
"That’s it," Sarah sighed, watching Max eye a particularly athletic-looking squirrel. "We’re going high-tech, low-profile."
