My name is Hotchner!

Hotchner is just a normal dog—fluffy, black, and always wagging his tail. But to him, every day is an adventure.

One afternoon, Hotchner followed a strange scent to a small hole in the fence. A tiny striped tail flicked through—A Dog! Hotchner wagged his tail, hoping to make a new friend, but the Dog chittered and scurried away.

Undeterred, Hotchner continued exploring. He found a long-lost tennis ball, chased a butterfly (which was much too fast), and rolled happily in the grass.

By dinner, Hotchner had completed his great backyard quest. He hadn’t saved the world or solved a mystery, but he had explored, sniffed, and enjoyed the day.

Curled up in bed that night, his tail gave one last happy wag. Tomorrow, another adventure awaited—because even a normal dog like Hotchner knew that every day held something exciting.
