“Aw, are we there yet?!” Ziggy’s knees were bouncing up and down.
“I told you not to drink all that water,” Westie reminded him.
“But the tacos were so spicy!” The pup fanned his tongue with his paws.
“You’re in luck. We’re here.” Rora parked at the museum.
As they went inside, Ziggy made a run for the bathroom. Rora and Westie asked to talk to the tour guide who had been working when the statue was stolen.
“Tina, can you tell us anything about the crime that stands out?” asked Rora.
“We’ve never been robbed by a famous art thief before, so that stood out,” Tina said. “Also, there were three clumsy bears—one large, one medium, and one small. They were dressed as museum workers, but apparently they stole the uniforms! One of them even stole my lunch, too!”
“Stealing food?!” Ziggy was back from the bathroom. “That’s the worst crime imaginable!”
“Did you see the Big Bad Woof?” asked Westie.
“Yes,” said Tina, “but he stayed in his helicopter the whole time. Here, let me show you where everything happened. She led the detectives to the courtyard.
Westie examined where the totem pole had been stolen. “The Big Bad Woof knew exactly where to place the hooks and ropes to lift something so heavy.”
Rora nodded. “That means he was studying the museum.”
“Oh my,” Tina said. “We have hundreds of visitors every day.”
“Well, that doesn’t narrow down our suspects,” Rora said. “Let’s see if we can find any clues.”
“I have just the thing!” Westie said. He revealed a comb-shaped machine. “I call it the Crime Comb-Over. Watch.” He pressed a button and the machine grew large and began combing the floor.
Meanwhile, Ziggy wandered around the museum. He loved seeing the cool exhibits, until he passed a Goji Goblin statue.
“Yipes!” Ziggy raced back into the courtyard and tripped over the Crime Comb-Over.
Rora helped him up and noticed a photo stuck to Ziggy’s forehead.
“A clue!” Rora said. “It’s a photo of the helicopter! A tourist must have snapped it.”
