Each day after school, Hannah sees Sugar, a dog she declines to pet. When Sugar goes missing, Hannah and her papa join the search. That night, Hannah imagines how frightening it would be to be lost in the dark. She then hears a whimper and finds Sugar in nearby bushes, with the dog’s leash caught on a branch. Although Hannah wants to retreat, she takes a breath, lets Sugar sniff her hand, and frees the leash.
