BELLA'S DIARIES...

    Hello, Dear Reader, It's me, Bella. If you read the last book, you will know that I was taken by a stranger. 

    I'm in the back of his truck right now in a plastic bag. I really need to get out of here.

                    CHAPTER 1

                        July 2nd, 2020

    Dear, Diary, Hey! I'm Bella! I really need to get out of this truck. 

    "You still there?" the stranger asks. All I do is whimper and whine. This is not good. He stopped driving and got out. He took me out of the bag, and took me inside his small, crooked apartment. He threw me-

-on the floor.

He said to me, "Don't go anywhere, old punk!" While he's gone I decide to wander around the house. I went to the kitchen- nothing.

I went to the bathroom- nothing! As I went close to his bedroom, I heard people in there, but there was a peculiar voice.

It sounded like JAKE! I couldn't get in there. The door was locked-

 -and I didn't have the key. I go into the closet, and there was a small doggy flap.     I went through and followed the path. 

It led me outside! I was very surprised to see Sally! 

    "Where have you been, Bella?" she asked. 

   "Oh, it's a long story! All I remember is that I got picked up." 

    "Wow," Sally said. "Well, I know the way back!" Sally assured.

    "How do you know?" I asked with curiosity. I was very shocked, because she had come three cities away.

   "Well, I dropped pieces of kibble while I was coming. So we can follow it back!"

    "NO!" I said. "I have to find my family!"       "Okay," she said.
