it.â
âSo do I,â Nancy told Bess and George. âNot only is Lolaâs secret outâbut the Clue Crew solved another case!â
âItâs just like a fairy tale!â Bess swooned.
Nancy, Bess, and George stood outside the Rollover Rescue Shelter. They gazed at Lola, dressed in a white lace doggy gown and silver tiara. She made the perfect Cinderellaâand the perfect poster pup for Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Day!
While the Bow-Wow Brigade walked adoptable dogs, Maya chatted with a news reporter.
âIs it true?â the reporter asked. âDid Lola the Diva Dog really come from a shelter?â
âOh, yes!â Maya said. She looked straightinto the camera. âI guess you can say she went from wags to riches!â
âThat was my joke,â George muttered.
Peter came over with Huey on a leash. Nancy couldnât believe her eyes. Instead of pulling Peter, the big Newfie was walking calmly at his side!
âWhat happened to Huey?â asked George.
âWhen I told Mayor Strong about Huey and the biscuits, he decided to send him to obedience school,â Peter explained. âNow Huey is an A student!â
âWay to go, Huey!â Nancy cheered. She jumped back before Huey could drool on her sneaker.
âNancy, Bess, George!â a voice called.
Nancy turned. It was Nicki, walking a small pointy-eared dog on a leash.
âLook at my new dog!â exclaimed Nicki.
âI thought you couldnât have a dog because of your allergic brother,â Nancy said.
âNo problem,â said Nicki. âMeet Enriqueâa Mexican hairless!â
âI never met a bald dog before,â Bess said.
âNo hair, no sneeze!â explained Nicki.
âWow!â George said. âI guess there is a dog out there for everyone.â
Next came the moment the girls had been waiting for. Vincent, dressed like a fairy tale prince, got down on one knee as he fitted Lola with a crystal-clear doggy shoe.
âGlass slippers can be bought at the Funky Fido Boutique,â Patsy Ray announced. âGet a pair for your princess pup while supplies last!â
Nancy turned to smile at her best friends. âThis fairy tale had a happy ending,â she said. âThanks to the Clue Crew!â
âI guess we are good detectives,â Bess said.
âAre you kidding?â George said with a grin. âWeâre doggone good!â
