Hank's on the Trail

       Hank, who apparently seemed like he didn’t have a mean bone in his body, was moving at 100 miles per hour.  “I’ll tell you what we’ll do,” he said.  “We’ll smash the stuffing out of the humans until they hand over his family!”

          Smokey liked hearing that!  Meee-ow who wouldn’t?  A pumped-up hippo was a valuable hippo and it seemed like Hank was almost a guarantee of getting the sand cat’s family back!  (Who, by the way, happened to be named Sandy, now how meowy and predictable was that really?)

          Now, Hank happened to be like a bloodhound which was kind of shocking to all of the kitties involved.  This big boy was not only charging but he was sniffing out the targets.  The sniffing was loud enough to make a breeze over the bare land but whatever he was doing seemed to work!  Suddenly footprints appeared and Smokey heard people ahead of them talking!  It was the humans who took Sandy’s family!  It had to be bepaws the humans were saying really weird things about ‘for sale’ and ‘kittens’ and ‘killing-‘

          What in the meow??????

          They all heard it and that included Hank bepaws he made some sort of weird noise and started charging straight ahead.  Sure enough it was the humans, five American guys that Smokey looked really young.  They had Sandy’s family in cages!
