Aiko's Amazing Adventures

How could giving a precious puppy a cookie treat turn out to be such an adventure? That's what happened to our precious yellow Labrador Retriever, Aiko, whom we got when she was ten weeks old. As she grew older, she would have morning walks for exercise to satisfy her curiosity and to ensure everything was okay in the neighborhood. One day on a walk, it was quite a surprise to have a sanitation truck driver toss her a cookie treat! I had no idea what it was, at first, but I'm sure Aiko's keen sense of smell knew what it was immediately. She yanked me closer to it so she could gobble it up before I knew exactly what it was! The driver seemed to be amused, smiled, and waved. This continued once a week until it almost became a disaster!Walks with Aiko were always an adventure, but this treat-tossing routine needed to stop. No worries though. She had many other adventures to be written in future books for children to enjoy!
