It is the first day of the holiday and your family have arrived at the beach car park. Everyone is busy unpacking the car.
You look about, Where is the dog?
"Bobby? Where are you Bobby?"
"Mum! I can't see Bobby?"
"He can't have gone far," says your older sister. "Go and look for him."
You can see a path heading to the beach and a small lane heading into the forest.
[[Take the path to the beach]]
[[ Follow the lane into the forest]]
You start to feel colder as you move into the shadow of the trees. You hear a rustling in the bushes to the right of you and you can see a glimpse of a golden corn field ahead.
[[Investigate the rustling noise]]
[[Walk on toward the field]]
[[Take the path to the beach]]
There are lots of footprints on the sandy path to the beach. You can't tell if some are from a dog. You hear a commotion ahead.
You can go back or keep going to investigate the noise.
[[Investigate the commotion on the beach]]
[[ Follow the lane into the forest]]
'Bobby. Bobby! Are you there Bobby?'
You shout for your dog but there is a sudden flapping of wings as a bird flies out of the bushes.
It does not look like Bobby has come this way. You had better head back,
[[Take the path to the beach]]
[[Walk on toward the field]]
You come out of the woods into a wide open field. It is full of golden wheat taller than your head. You do not want to get in trouble with the farmer. You had better go back.
[[Go back -> Follow the lane into the forest]]
You see some childen playing on the sand.
"Have you seen a dog?" you ask.

"Sorry" says one of the children. We were too busy playing.
"You might want to try the cave along there," one of them says.
[[Go to the cave]]
"Sorry" we were playing says one of the children.
You are just turning away when a young girl shouts.
"I just heard what you said. I think I saw a dog going toward the harbour!"
"Thanks," you say.
[[Head to the harbour]]
You get to the cave, It is cold and damp but not very big. Bobby is not here.
You see a girl appear at the entrance.
[[Say hello]]
[[Ignore her and go back to the beach]]
You see some dog tracks in the sand.
"Bobby! Bobby!" you shout.
You hear a bark in the distance.
[[Start running]]"Hi!" you say.
The girl smiles. "Hi. I heard you asking about a dog. I saw a dog run toward the harbour".
"Oh," you say.
[[Head to the harbour]]
Where coud Bobby be?
There are not many more places to look.
There are some tall sand dunes nearby.
[[Climb the sand dunes]]
You climb up the dunes and the sand fills your shoes. The grass is spiky.
You get a great view of the beach from the top. You still can't see Bobby.
The girl has followed you and is waiting at the bottom.
[[Say hello]] You run along the sand.
The barking is getting louder. It is coming from behind the harbour wall. There are some steps you can use to get on top but they are covered in lots of sea weed.
[[Use the steps]]
[[Look for another way]]
The steps are cold and very slippery. It is starting to get too high.
You decide to keep safe and head back down.
[[Look for another way]] Up the beach from the wall you can see a ramp for boats.
[[Walk up the boat ramp]]
You shout Bobby's name as you walk up the ramp.
The barking gets louder and suddenly Bobby appears.
YOU HAVE FOUND HIM!
He runs up to you and you rub his ears. "Good doggy... good doggy," you say.

''Your holiday looked like it was off to a bad start but it all worked out in the end!''You find the girl.
"This is Bobby" you say.
"Oh. He is lovely" says the girl. "Can he play with us?"
''....... and that was how you made a new friend and started a great holiday!''
