To the one's who forget just how strong and brave you are.

Once upon a time there was a puppy who lived on a farm. This puppy's name was Astro the Australian Shepard who loved to chase butterflies, nap in the hay, and most of all, play with his brother and sister.












One evening, Astro and his siblings were chasing each other, until they caught glimpse of a nearby meadow. "Look, a meadow full of butterflies! Last one there is a rotten egg!" barked Astros sister. Even though the meadow was beyond the fence, Astro raced towards the meadow to be the first one there.







Once Astro arrived to the meadow he realized he beat his siblings to it. As he starts to look around for his siblings he realizes they are no longer behind him and the butterflies that were once here, were gone. "Guys, where did you go?" Astro whimpered. He realized he wondered too far from home and then suddenly the wind howled and loud boom rang across the sky.



Astro began to run before another loud boom roared from the sky due to the thunderstorm. CRACK! went the thunder. Astro yelped and ran further until he entered the woods. Everything looked different and scary. Astro kept running until he came upon an area to hind under.





As Astro entered his shelter, he tried to calm his nerves and came to the realization that he was lost. Astro barked for help in hopes of someone being able to hear him, but no one came. As it began to rain harder, Astro curls up into a ball wondering where the farm was? Where were his siblings? Were they okay? The wind howled once more as the rain fell to the ground. It was gonna be a long night for Astro.










Astro woke up the next morning to the sounds of the birds chirping and the sunshine spilling through the trees. As he stood up to stretch his legs he heard a whispering from above. "Hey, pup." said a voice. Astro looked up to find himself standing below a squirrel with a bushy tail.








"I'm Chipper and you look lost." "Hi Chipper, I'm Astro and I am lost, I wondered too far from home and got scared by the thunderstorm." "Not to worry, I will help you find your way back and teach you how to listen to the forest and use your senses. It will help you guide us back to your home." Astro's ears peaked up and his tail began to wag. For the first time, he felt a little hope.








As Astro and Chipper set off their journey, Chipper started to teach Astro how to use his senses. He taught him how to use his ears and listen to his surroundings as well as his nose so he can try and catch the scent back home.















After walking what felt like forever, Astro and Chipper came upon a pond where they stopped to drink some water. "Hey look some berries!" Chipper announced and ran towards them. "Hey why are you taking my berries?" said Lyla a duck who was swimming towards Astro and Chipper.








"I'm sorry, I didn't know these were yours, my apologies." Chipper said to Lyla as he ran back to Astro's side. "I'm Chipper and this is Astro. We are on a journey back to his home. He got separated due to the storm last night." "Oh no." Lyla said, "Here take my berries, and I would love to help you find your way back home. I know this area pretty well so I can help us out the woods." "Thank you so much Lyla." Astro said as his tail started to wag faster. "Of course. Now let's continue this journey."
