White Dog looked at Steve standing with Opal's bowl in his hand. "Mmm, it is not like my sister to miss a meal," she commented. "In fact she is usually first in line and loud."

Steve went looking for our girl. She wasn't in the bedroom. She wasn't in the office. He went outside.

She wasn't on the deck but he found a crime scene that seemed to indicate Opal had chosen a different breakfast.

Roman followed the trail and amazingly dropped the clue when Steve asked. Steve knew he was not the culprit because Roman had been in the kitchen waiting for his meal...along with every pup except White Dog who was on the sofa and the missing Opal.  

When she spotted the search party, Opal bolted from the corner of the yard and raced toward the dog door. Steve stopped to clean up the very few remains and by the time he got back inside, Opal was sitting waiting for her bowl and licking her lips.
