Sometimes the things you own become a part of you, and that’s how Scruffy feels about his blanket. So when it goes missing, this loveable little dog sets out on a very smelly journey to sniff it out.
... but they’re not my blanket and they don’t smell of dog. Sniff! Sniff! Sniff!
So I sniff and I snuffle as I scurry around ’til I find a new smell ...
So I’ll grab it and pull it and tug ’til it’s free.
