In tonight's specially selected Koko rewind, we're going back to the time we met a teeny tiny puppy called Rex. Rex was going on his first ever walk, and he was excited but a little nervous... Thankfully he made two friends who show him the way- our much loved duo, Hector and Sunny. So relax, get sleepy, and let's begin.

Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Kuala Moon, a podcast of
00:00:14
Speaker 1: original children's bedtime stories and meditations designed to make bedtime
00:00:19
Speaker 1: a dream. The team and I here at Sleepaheq know
00:00:25
Speaker 1: just how much you all love animals, dogs especially, and
00:00:29
Speaker 1: tonight we have a very special story in store for you.
00:00:34
Speaker 1: It features not one, not two, but three dogs, and
00:00:41
Speaker 1: one of them is a puppy cute. Yes, it's a
00:00:45
Speaker 1: seriously heartwarming tale that stars a little boy who you
00:00:48
Speaker 1: may remember for his marvelously messy ways at school. If
00:00:53
Speaker 1: you recall the story Marlon makes a Mess, you'll know
00:00:56
Speaker 1: who it is that helps him get creative with cleaning
00:00:59
Speaker 1: up after himself. It's his trusty dog Rex. Well, tonight,
00:01:06
Speaker 1: we're going to meet Rex when he was a brand
00:01:08
Speaker 1: new tiny puppy. When Rex ventures out for his very
00:01:13
Speaker 1: first walk, he makes several exciting discoveries and bumps into
00:01:18
Speaker 1: two dogs that you've certainly heard of before. I wonder
00:01:23
Speaker 1: if you can guess which couple of famous furry friends
00:01:27
Speaker 1: turn up on his walk. Okay, jump into bed, snuggle
00:01:33
Speaker 1: up tight, and take some relaxing deep breaths as I
00:01:37
Speaker 1: start tonight's story called Hector and Sonny Meet Rex the
00:01:43
Speaker 1: Puppy written by Alicia Ainslie. The first day that Rex
00:01:55
Speaker 1: the Puppy set foot in his new home, he knew
00:01:58
Speaker 1: he was going to love him there. Rex was one
00:02:02
Speaker 1: of fourteen puppies when he was born, and he was
00:02:04
Speaker 1: always fighting for attention from his mother and his human owners.
00:02:09
Speaker 1: Rex was only small, much smaller than the rest of
00:02:12
Speaker 1: his brothers and sisters, so he rarely got a look.
00:02:15
Speaker 1: In the day that their big doggie family was visited
00:02:19
Speaker 1: by people from the outside world, Rex knew that this
00:02:24
Speaker 1: was his opportunity to find his new forever family. One
00:02:30
Speaker 1: by one, people came and cuddled and played with Rex
00:02:33
Speaker 1: and his siblings. All fourteen of them scrabbled and yipped excitedly,
00:02:39
Speaker 1: desperate for the attention of the interesting new humans that
00:02:43
Speaker 1: they were meeting. All of the people were very nice,
00:02:48
Speaker 1: but there was one person in particular that Rex especially admired.
00:02:55
Speaker 1: While most of the humans came in pairs or brought
00:02:58
Speaker 1: their children along to the is it the puppies, there
00:03:01
Speaker 1: was one lady who came on her own. She had
00:03:05
Speaker 1: kind eyes and a big smile, and the moment that
00:03:09
Speaker 1: Rex saw her, he knew that she was the person
00:03:13
Speaker 1: that he wanted to go home with. Thankfully, the feeling
00:03:18
Speaker 1: was mutual, and the woman with kind Eyes loved Rex
00:03:23
Speaker 1: just as much as he adored her. They gently played
00:03:27
Speaker 1: together and she let Rex climb up on her knees
00:03:31
Speaker 1: to lick her face. Eventually, Rex curled up in her
00:03:36
Speaker 1: lap and snoozed away sweetly after using up so much energy.
00:03:43
Speaker 1: The Lady with the Kind Eyes was besotted there, and
00:03:48
Speaker 1: then three weeks later, Rex was heading to his new
00:03:56
Speaker 1: home with his new family. Rex could tell that he
00:04:00
Speaker 1: and the lady were going to be the best of friends,
00:04:04
Speaker 1: and he sat in a comfortable bed in the back
00:04:07
Speaker 1: seat of her car. Little did Rex know then that
00:04:12
Speaker 1: he was going to make lots of new best friends
00:04:15
Speaker 1: in the care of his new loving family. When he
00:04:19
Speaker 1: arrived at his new house, Rex was introduced to his
00:04:24
Speaker 1: brand new fluffy bed in the corner of the kitchen
00:04:29
Speaker 1: and his sparkling clean water bowl and food bowl by
00:04:33
Speaker 1: the back door. There was a box of toys waiting
00:04:38
Speaker 1: for him to play with, and he quickly got stuck in,
00:04:42
Speaker 1: finding a fuzzy, squeaky pig that he delighted in playing
00:04:47
Speaker 1: with for hours. Rex was getting comfortable in his new
00:04:52
Speaker 1: home when he heard the doorbell ring. Somebody must be visiting.
00:05:00
Speaker 1: The lady with her kind eyes closed the door to
00:05:03
Speaker 1: the kitchen, keeping Rex inside, and went to the front
00:05:07
Speaker 1: door to open it. Rex couldn't understand why he had
00:05:12
Speaker 1: been left behind. He was desperate to meet whoever was visiting.
00:05:19
Speaker 1: Rex heard footsteps pattered down the corridor back to the
00:05:24
Speaker 1: kitchen door, and he sat down on his bottom and
00:05:28
Speaker 1: waited like a good boy. His tail swished from side
00:05:33
Speaker 1: to side, sweeping the floor with his soft red and
00:05:38
Speaker 1: white fur. He heard the voice of the kind lady
00:05:43
Speaker 1: speaking to some one. I've got a surprise for you,
00:05:48
Speaker 1: she said. As the kitchen door began to crack open.
00:05:54
Speaker 1: Rex couldn't wait any longer, and he rushed forward and
00:05:58
Speaker 1: peeked his nose through the gap in the door, sniffing
00:06:01
Speaker 1: the air with his snuffly nose a puppy. A new
00:06:07
Speaker 1: voice cried from behind the door. Rex wriggled his little
00:06:12
Speaker 1: body through the gap and pushed the door open. He
00:06:17
Speaker 1: dashed forward and found that two people were standing on
00:06:21
Speaker 1: the other side. There was the lady with the kind
00:06:24
Speaker 1: eyes and a little boy. The little boy's eyes grew
00:06:31
Speaker 1: wide and he squealed with excitement. Rex jumped up at
00:06:37
Speaker 1: the boy, pouring at his legs. He was so enthusiastic
00:06:41
Speaker 1: to meet even more people. The little boy bent down
00:06:47
Speaker 1: to Rex's level and attempted to stroke Rex's fur, but
00:06:52
Speaker 1: Rex was hard to catch, as he was so full
00:06:55
Speaker 1: of beans that he kept running around and around in
00:06:59
Speaker 1: circles and jumping up at everyone with exhilaration. The little
00:07:05
Speaker 1: boy and the lady laughed with joy as they watched
00:07:08
Speaker 1: Rex's eager display. The lady with the kind eyes laughed
00:07:16
Speaker 1: and said to the boy, Marlon, this is Rex. He
00:07:22
Speaker 1: is your new puppy. I love him, proclaimed Marlon. Rex
00:07:31
Speaker 1: lay down on his back and Marlon started tickling his belly.
00:07:37
Speaker 1: Rex shimmered from side to side happily and kept knocking
00:07:42
Speaker 1: himself over with his super waggly tail. Rex felt so
00:07:47
Speaker 1: lucky to have two members of his new family, Marlon,
00:07:52
Speaker 1: the little boy and his mother. Marlon was clearly just
00:07:58
Speaker 1: as happy as Rex was, and declared that Rex would
00:08:02
Speaker 1: be his best body. They would go on walks together
00:08:07
Speaker 1: every day and Marlon would teach Rex lots of cool tricks.
00:08:15
Speaker 1: Marlon's mother smiled but explained, that's lovely, darling, but you
00:08:21
Speaker 1: can't take Rex. For a walk just yet. He needs
00:08:25
Speaker 1: to get a little bit older first. When he's fourteen
00:08:29
Speaker 1: weeks old, we can take him for his very first
00:08:32
Speaker 1: walk outside. Rex was disappointed that he couldn't venture outside
00:08:39
Speaker 1: straight away, but he could tell that the day of
00:08:44
Speaker 1: his first ever walk in public would be very special.
00:08:51
Speaker 1: In the meantime, Rex spent every day getting to know
00:08:55
Speaker 1: his new family. As promised, Marlon talkedrought him several new
00:09:01
Speaker 1: tricks in exchange for delicious treats. Rex learnt how to
00:09:06
Speaker 1: sit down on command and give Marlon a high five.
00:09:12
Speaker 1: He learned how to lie down and spin around on
00:09:15
Speaker 1: the spot. Rex was a quick learner. Rex adored living
00:09:23
Speaker 1: with his new family, and every day was full of
00:09:28
Speaker 1: laughter and joy. As the weeks went by, Rex discovered
00:09:34
Speaker 1: lots of interesting things around his new home. He discovered
00:09:39
Speaker 1: that discarded socks were his favorite thing to collect and
00:09:44
Speaker 1: hoarde in his toy box. He found that if he
00:09:48
Speaker 1: waited around in the kitchen long enough while their mother
00:09:52
Speaker 1: was cooking, then he might snag the chance to gobble
00:09:56
Speaker 1: up some human food that fell on the ground. He
00:10:01
Speaker 1: even discovered that the best freshest water in the house
00:10:06
Speaker 1: came from the toilet bowl. At least that's what he
00:10:10
Speaker 1: thought until Marlon and his mother told him that was
00:10:15
Speaker 1: yucky and started leaving the toilet seat down. Every day.
00:10:21
Speaker 1: Rex was discovering new things, but he knew that there
00:10:26
Speaker 1: was so much more to discover in the outside world.
00:10:34
Speaker 1: As the day of his fourteen week old birthday drew closer,
00:10:39
Speaker 1: Rex became more and more agitated as he eagerly awaited
00:10:44
Speaker 1: the big day's arrival. He had been dreaming of his
00:10:50
Speaker 1: first walk outside since the day he was brought home
00:10:55
Speaker 1: to his new family, and he could hardly wait. The
00:11:01
Speaker 1: night before he turned fourteen weeks old, Marlon ushered Rex
00:11:07
Speaker 1: to join him as he climbed into bed. Rex hopped
00:11:13
Speaker 1: up onto the end of Marlon's bed and curled his
00:11:17
Speaker 1: little body up into a comfy position. Marlon gazed at
00:11:23
Speaker 1: Rex all cozy and snuggled up and ruffled the fur
00:11:28
Speaker 1: on his back. He whispered, Tomorrow is a big day, Rex,
00:11:36
Speaker 1: You're going to go for your very first walk outside.
00:11:42
Speaker 1: I'm going to take you to the park, and it's
00:11:46
Speaker 1: going to be so much fun. You don't need to
00:11:50
Speaker 1: be nervous. Rex looked up at Marlon with his puppy
00:11:55
Speaker 1: dog eyes. He knew that Marlon would take good care
00:11:59
Speaker 1: of him, but he was a little bit nervous about
00:12:03
Speaker 1: going somewhere he'd never been before. However, he knew that
00:12:08
Speaker 1: with Marlon by his side, he would be fine. Rex
00:12:13
Speaker 1: woke up the next morning full of energy. He whizzed
00:12:18
Speaker 1: and wove around the house, trying to burn off all
00:12:22
Speaker 1: his built up energy. Today was the big day and
00:12:27
Speaker 1: he couldn't wait to get going. Marlon and his mother
00:12:34
Speaker 1: watched Rex race around the house and they laughed. Marlon's
00:12:40
Speaker 1: mother commented that it was a good job that Rex
00:12:43
Speaker 1: could go for a walk and a run outside. Now
00:12:47
Speaker 1: he was getting far too restless. Stuck inside the house,
00:12:54
Speaker 1: Rex waited and waited, and eventually Marlon and his mother
00:13:03
Speaker 1: were ready to go. Rex, it's time for a walk.
00:13:09
Speaker 1: Marlon's mother yodled out into the house. Rex ran as
00:13:16
Speaker 1: fast as his little legs could carry him to find her.
00:13:21
Speaker 1: When he reached her, he noticed that she was holding
00:13:25
Speaker 1: a long blue rope in her hands. What could that
00:13:30
Speaker 1: be for, Rex, wondered. Marlon's mother taught him how to
00:13:37
Speaker 1: attach the blue rope to Rex's collar while Rex sat
00:13:41
Speaker 1: down patiently. Apparently, the strange rope device was called a lead,
00:13:49
Speaker 1: and it would make sure that Rex didn't run away
00:13:52
Speaker 1: or get lost while they were outside. The lead felt
00:13:57
Speaker 1: strange to Rex at first, and he kept tripping over
00:14:01
Speaker 1: it and getting it tangled around his little legs, but
00:14:05
Speaker 1: once they all stepped outside of the house and walked
00:14:09
Speaker 1: out into the street, Rex quickly got used to it.
00:14:15
Speaker 1: Despite his eagerness, Rex was still slightly nervous about being
00:14:21
Speaker 1: outside for the first time. He had never seen these
00:14:26
Speaker 1: streets before, and the last time he had seen a
00:14:30
Speaker 1: car was when he was sitting inside it being brought home.
00:14:36
Speaker 1: Watching lots of fast moving cars whoosh past them was
00:14:42
Speaker 1: a little unnerving, but Marlon reassured Rex and kept him
00:14:48
Speaker 1: moving forward. Rex looked around and took in the amazing
00:14:55
Speaker 1: sights of the outside world, the car and the people
00:15:01
Speaker 1: passing by, the tall houses and the lumbering trees. The
00:15:09
Speaker 1: concrete pavement felt funny beneath his little paws. He was
00:15:14
Speaker 1: used to pottering around on fuzzy carpets in the house
00:15:19
Speaker 1: or the soft grass in the garden, so concrete felt
00:15:24
Speaker 1: pretty rough underneath his tiny paws. The world outside was
00:15:33
Speaker 1: also noisier than Rex was used to. All of the
00:15:38
Speaker 1: vehicles on the road roomed and zoomed, and bicycles rang
00:15:44
Speaker 1: their jingling bells and were the spokes of their wheels.
00:15:51
Speaker 1: Pigeons cooed from up on the roofs, and squirrels chattered
00:15:57
Speaker 1: from the branches of the odd tree in the front
00:15:59
Speaker 1: gard garden. The air was filled with the humming of
00:16:05
Speaker 1: life and the bustle of people. Rex was beginning to
00:16:11
Speaker 1: realize that it was much more peaceful back at home.
00:16:18
Speaker 1: Just as Rex was starting to think that maybe the
00:16:23
Speaker 1: outside world wasn't as great as he had cracked it
00:16:26
Speaker 1: up to be, Marlon's mother guided them all across the
00:16:31
Speaker 1: road and towards a large iron gate with tall hedges
00:16:36
Speaker 1: on either side. She pushed the gate open, and it
00:16:41
Speaker 1: squeaked and creaked heavily as they all walked through. When
00:16:47
Speaker 1: he saw what was on the other side of the gate,
00:16:51
Speaker 1: Rex couldn't believe his eyes. Ahead of him was a
00:16:58
Speaker 1: ginormous feeling of grass, surrounded by trees and plants. The
00:17:05
Speaker 1: loud noises of the street behind them faded away, and
00:17:10
Speaker 1: instead here it was peaceful and serene. The only sounds
00:17:17
Speaker 1: that Rex could hear were the buzzing of bees in
00:17:21
Speaker 1: the flower beds. Tweeting birds soaring through the air, and
00:17:28
Speaker 1: the wind rustling through the trees. There were other humans
00:17:34
Speaker 1: and their dogs playing in the field with toys that
00:17:38
Speaker 1: Rex had never seen before. The toys flew through the
00:17:43
Speaker 1: air at super fast speeds, and the dogs all chased
00:17:48
Speaker 1: after them, jumping and catching them in their mouths. Some
00:17:55
Speaker 1: dogs ran around together, chasing one another and rolling around
00:18:00
Speaker 1: in the blades of grass. Others cheerfully potted around, sniffing
00:18:06
Speaker 1: the flowers and digging at the roots of the tall trees.
00:18:11
Speaker 1: Rex felt exhilarated. It was like a utopia for dogs.
00:18:19
Speaker 1: Rex tugged and pulled at his leash, yearning to break
00:18:23
Speaker 1: free and run around. Marlon and his mother could see
00:18:30
Speaker 1: how much Rex was itching to be let off the leash.
00:18:35
Speaker 1: They walked Rex around the edge of the park and
00:18:39
Speaker 1: over to a quiet spot of grass. Here there were
00:18:44
Speaker 1: fewer distractions and there was more space for Rex to
00:18:49
Speaker 1: roam around freely. Rex sat perfectly and patiently, staring at
00:18:58
Speaker 1: his family, begging them to let him loose. His tail
00:19:04
Speaker 1: wagged back and forth with anticipation, and he panted with enthusiasm.
00:19:12
Speaker 1: Marlon's mother leant down and unbuckled the leash from Rex's collar. Now, Rex,
00:19:20
Speaker 1: she explained to him, calmly, go have fun and explore.
00:19:27
Speaker 1: Just make sure that you stay close by where we
00:19:30
Speaker 1: can see you. Rex's eyes sparkled with cheer, and he
00:19:36
Speaker 1: looked around and sure of where to begin. There were
00:19:41
Speaker 1: so many things he could do and so many other
00:19:45
Speaker 1: dogs to meet, that he didn't know where to start.
00:19:50
Speaker 1: Rex began to bound around the grass, feeling the soft
00:19:55
Speaker 1: earth beneath his paws. It felt so much better than
00:20:01
Speaker 1: the hard concrete pavement they had been walking along before.
00:20:06
Speaker 1: He bounced and tumbled around the field, feeling his legs
00:20:12
Speaker 1: flop about with childish abandon. As Rex ran around the grass,
00:20:19
Speaker 1: he felt like he had so much space to move.
00:20:24
Speaker 1: All he had experienced so far in his life was
00:20:28
Speaker 1: the fenced in grass of their garden, but here at
00:20:33
Speaker 1: the park there was more grass to run through than
00:20:38
Speaker 1: Rex could have ever imagined. He felt free. He looked
00:20:45
Speaker 1: around the park and saw so many new animals to meet. There,
00:20:52
Speaker 1: of course, were lots of other dogs to befriend, but
00:20:56
Speaker 1: there were also lots of new flying bugs, bustling birds,
00:21:01
Speaker 1: and prowling cats. As Rex ran past the trees, he
00:21:08
Speaker 1: spotted something rummaging in a bush. He stopped in his
00:21:13
Speaker 1: tracks and waited eagerly. All of a sudden, two tall,
00:21:21
Speaker 1: fluffy ears poked up out of the leaves, and a
00:21:25
Speaker 1: little pointed white face peered out from the bush. The
00:21:30
Speaker 1: creature snuffled its nose and twitched its whiskers. Then, spotting Rex,
00:21:38
Speaker 1: it turned on its big feet and ran off into
00:21:40
Speaker 1: the trees behind, wiggling its fluffy pompom tail behind it.
00:21:47
Speaker 1: It was a bunny. Rex had never seen a bunny
00:21:52
Speaker 1: rabbit in real life before. He was so excited and
00:21:57
Speaker 1: eager to say hello, that he chased after the bunny rabbit. Excitedly.
00:22:04
Speaker 1: He gallovanted through the grass and bounded through the bushes,
00:22:10
Speaker 1: running and running until his feet stopped feeling the soft
00:22:15
Speaker 1: blades of grass beneath them anymore, and instead felt dusty,
00:22:21
Speaker 1: bare earth beneath his paws. Rex stopped in his tracks
00:22:26
Speaker 1: and looked around him. He had lost sight of the
00:22:30
Speaker 1: bunny rabbit, and he wasn't in the open air of
00:22:34
Speaker 1: the field anymore. Instead, he was under the cover of
00:22:40
Speaker 1: the trees that lined the outside of the park. Oh oh,
00:22:46
Speaker 1: Rex thought he had gotten too carried away and run
00:22:51
Speaker 1: off out of sight. Rex span around, trying to recall
00:23:00
Speaker 1: which direction he had come from, but every tree looked
00:23:05
Speaker 1: exactly the same. He couldn't see the park anymore. Rex
00:23:12
Speaker 1: sniffed the ground and tried to pick up his own
00:23:16
Speaker 1: scent to work out his way back, but he just
00:23:20
Speaker 1: found himself walking around in circles, chasing his own tail.
00:23:28
Speaker 1: Rex started to think that he needed some help and
00:23:32
Speaker 1: howled out into the trees, hoping that Marlon and his
00:23:37
Speaker 1: mother would hear his call. He waited a few seconds
00:23:44
Speaker 1: and listened, then right on queue, he heard the soft
00:23:50
Speaker 1: pattering of footsteps on the forest floor. However, when he
00:23:57
Speaker 1: looked through the trees to catch sight of Marlon and
00:24:02
Speaker 1: his mother coming to his rescue, he saw something entirely different.
00:24:09
Speaker 1: Two dogs came bounding through the trees towards him. One
00:24:16
Speaker 1: was a large golden Retriever and one was a smaller
00:24:21
Speaker 1: cocker spaniel with reddish brown fur and eyes the color
00:24:27
Speaker 1: of the sky. The golden retriever carried a stick in
00:24:32
Speaker 1: his mouth and dropped it at his feet. As they
00:24:35
Speaker 1: reached Rex's side, the cocker spaniel cocked her head to
00:24:41
Speaker 1: one side and asked, are you all right, little pup?
00:24:47
Speaker 1: The golden retriever explained that they had heard a call
00:24:51
Speaker 1: from within the forest asking for help. Rex sniffed and
00:24:58
Speaker 1: explained that he was long. It was his first time
00:25:03
Speaker 1: outside of his house, and he had run off away
00:25:07
Speaker 1: from his family. He'd gotten so carried away he wanted
00:25:13
Speaker 1: to find his way back to his family, but he
00:25:16
Speaker 1: couldn't remember which direction the park was. He told the
00:25:22
Speaker 1: dogs that he had tried to track his scent, but
00:25:26
Speaker 1: with no luck. The Golden retriever flickered his ears and
00:25:33
Speaker 1: sniffed the air. He replied, will help you find your
00:25:39
Speaker 1: way back, little pop, My nose never lets me down.
00:25:47
Speaker 1: The Golden retriever promptly placed his nose to the ground
00:25:52
Speaker 1: and began sniffing away. After a few moments of snuffling
00:25:59
Speaker 1: around the forest floor, he pricked up his head and
00:26:04
Speaker 1: declared that he had picked up Rex's scent. Rex almost
00:26:10
Speaker 1: leapt for joy, thank goodness for these kind dogs who
00:26:16
Speaker 1: had turned up to help him. The Golden retriever led
00:26:22
Speaker 1: the way, and Rex and the cocker spaniel followed behind.
00:26:29
Speaker 1: I'm Hector by the way, the bouncy Golden retriever introduced himself.
00:26:36
Speaker 1: Then the cocker spaniel added, and I'm sunny. Rex smiled
00:26:42
Speaker 1: and told them his name too. It's nice to meet
00:26:47
Speaker 1: you both, he said gratefully. The three dogs trotted through
00:26:53
Speaker 1: the forest with Hector's nose as their guide. They wove
00:26:58
Speaker 1: in and out of the trees, and soon Rex could
00:27:03
Speaker 1: see where the trees were parting and spotted the luscious
00:27:07
Speaker 1: green field beyond them. He could hear Marlin and his
00:27:13
Speaker 1: mother calling out his name as they searched for him,
00:27:18
Speaker 1: and Rex picked up the pace, running past Hector and
00:27:23
Speaker 1: towards the trees. He reached the edge of the field
00:27:28
Speaker 1: and saw his beloved family nearby. Rex felt so relieved
00:27:35
Speaker 1: to be reunited with them. He thanked Hector and Sonny
00:27:40
Speaker 1: for their assistance, and they assured him there was no
00:27:44
Speaker 1: problem at all. Rex was very lucky that they had
00:27:50
Speaker 1: heard his call. Rex didn't want to say goodbye to
00:27:55
Speaker 1: the impressive older dogs. He was sure that he could
00:28:00
Speaker 1: learn a lot from them, but he knew that he
00:28:04
Speaker 1: should return to his family before they grew worried. Rex
00:28:11
Speaker 1: asked Hector and Sonny eagerly. Do you come to the
00:28:16
Speaker 1: park often? Sonny declared that they were always around somewhere, exploring, burrowing,
00:28:25
Speaker 1: and hiding things in the ground. Maybe you could come
00:28:31
Speaker 1: on an adventure with us sometime, Sonny offered, and Rex
00:28:36
Speaker 1: nodded his head vigorously. He would love nothing more. Hector
00:28:44
Speaker 1: and Sonny also promised to show Rex around the park
00:28:49
Speaker 1: sometime so that he never got lost again. Rex was
00:28:55
Speaker 1: in awe of the pair of friends. They were so confident,
00:29:00
Speaker 1: vident and clever, and very helpful too. Rex hoped that
00:29:07
Speaker 1: he would grow up to be just like them when
00:29:10
Speaker 1: he was older. Rex heard the happy voice of Marlon
00:29:16
Speaker 1: come from behind him, and he turned around to see
00:29:21
Speaker 1: Marlon running across the grass towards him. Rex, Rex, you're here,
00:29:31
Speaker 1: Marlon called out, with his arms stretched open wide. Rex
00:29:39
Speaker 1: pounced into Marlon's arms and Marlon held him close. They
00:29:45
Speaker 1: were both relieved to have found each other again. Marlon
00:29:52
Speaker 1: asked Rex where he had been. He and his mother
00:29:58
Speaker 1: had looked for him everywhere. Rex turned and gazed at
00:30:04
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny, and Marlon followed his gaze. Marlon sighed
00:30:12
Speaker 1: in realization. I see you've been busy making some friends,
00:30:21
Speaker 1: he smiled. Marlon thanked Hector and Sonny for looking after
00:30:28
Speaker 1: little Rex, and then he led Rex away and back
00:30:33
Speaker 1: over to their mother. Rex glanced over his shoulder and
00:30:39
Speaker 1: called out a goodbye to Hector and Sonny before they
00:30:44
Speaker 1: ran back off into the trees, no doubt, in search
00:30:48
Speaker 1: of a new adventure for the day. Marlon's mother cuddled
00:30:56
Speaker 1: Rex in her arms and reminded him not to off again.
00:31:02
Speaker 1: Rex promised that he wouldn't, although if he hadn't ventured off,
00:31:09
Speaker 1: he would have never met Hector and Sonny, so at
00:31:13
Speaker 1: least something good had come from it. Rex assumed that
00:31:19
Speaker 1: he would be put back on the leash for running off,
00:31:22
Speaker 1: but instead Marlon's mother pulled something out of her pocket.
00:31:29
Speaker 1: It was a circular toy. It was bright orange, and
00:31:34
Speaker 1: she bounced it on the ground and caught it again.
00:31:39
Speaker 1: Rex instantly became fixated on the bright bouncy toy and
00:31:46
Speaker 1: crouched down. She bounced the toy again and Rex attempted
00:31:52
Speaker 1: to snatch it in mid air, but missed. It was
00:31:56
Speaker 1: quite a slippery little thing. Then, without warning, Marlon's mother
00:32:04
Speaker 1: stood up tall and launched the toy across the grass
00:32:09
Speaker 1: away from them. Rex spun on his heels and raced
00:32:15
Speaker 1: across the grass, chasing after the toy. The circular toy
00:32:22
Speaker 1: hit the ground and boined back up into the air.
00:32:27
Speaker 1: As it hurtled towards the ground. Again, Rex picked up
00:32:31
Speaker 1: his speed and launched himself in front of it. He
00:32:37
Speaker 1: leapt up into the air and caught it in his
00:32:40
Speaker 1: mouth triumphantly. Rex felt so proud of himself and ran
00:32:47
Speaker 1: back over to Marlin and his mother, carrying the toy
00:32:51
Speaker 1: proudly in his mouth. He placed it down on the
00:32:56
Speaker 1: ground in front of them and wagged his tails, panting
00:33:01
Speaker 1: with pride. That was so fun. He wanted to do
00:33:08
Speaker 1: it again and again and again. In fact, Rex played
00:33:16
Speaker 1: with the toy, which he came to learn was called
00:33:19
Speaker 1: a ball, over and over again until he became very tired. Eventually,
00:33:30
Speaker 1: he laid his little puppy body down at Marlon's feet
00:33:35
Speaker 1: and rested his eyes sleepily. Marlon's mother scooped him up
00:33:42
Speaker 1: into her arms and cradled him like a baby. They
00:33:48
Speaker 1: all walked over to the park gate and back along
00:33:52
Speaker 1: the streets to return home. Rex had had such a
00:33:58
Speaker 1: fabulous time on his first ever walk outside, so much
00:34:05
Speaker 1: of a good time that he was too exhausted to
00:34:09
Speaker 1: walk back home. As soon as they reached their house,
00:34:17
Speaker 1: Wrecks lapped up almost a whole bowl of water and
00:34:22
Speaker 1: then curled himself up in his comfortable bed in the kitchen,
00:34:29
Speaker 1: He closed his eyes and began to drift off, happily
00:34:36
Speaker 1: dreaming of adventures in the forest with Hector and Sonny,
00:34:42
Speaker 1: and looking forward to playing in the park with Marlin
00:34:48
Speaker 1: and their mother every day from now on. N
