Page 1
On the right side of the image, Skel stands facing forward in a grassy outdoor field, holding a walking stick at his side, while Bones trots alongside him slightly to the left on all fours, wearing his bright red bandana around his neck. Both move together through the green landscape along a dirt path. The scene is set during daytime with bright lighting, with trees visible in the background. Bones stays close to Skel, alert and content at his side.

When Skel and Bones go hunting, Bones always stays by him. Sometimes Skel will send Bones ahead to check something out, but he never goes too far away from Skel. He has taught Bones well.

On the left side of the image, Bones stands on all fours facing the viewer with a wide-eyed, terrified expression, wearing his bright red bandana, positioned on a muddy path beside a large fallen tree trunk. His body is tense and frozen in place. Skel stands slightly behind Bones on the right, looking concerned and reaching a hand toward him. The scene is outdoors at night during a storm, with dark, ominous lighting and rain streaks visible against a dense wooded background.

Bones is not a naughty dog, but there was one time when he got spooked. A big storm started up when Skel and Bones were far from home. Bones is not a fan of the loud sounds that come with storms.

On the right side of the image, Skel stands alone in a rainy open field of tall grass, facing forward with a distressed, calling-out expression, one hand cupped near his mouth. Rain pours down from a dark stormy sky, and wind whips the grass around him. In the far distance on the left, a small dark shape of Bones is barely visible vanishing into the storm, just a silhouette disappearing into the rain and darkness. The left side of the image is mostly dark stormy background suitable for text overlay.

After a particularly loud clap of thunder, Bones bolted. Skel could not keep up with him. Bones ran quickly, and he could not be caught. Before long, Bones was just a dark shape on the horizon, and Skel stood distraught in the pouring rain.

Skel stands on the left side of the image on a grassy hillside, facing forward with a weary, determined expression. The scene is set outdoors late at night during a heavy rainstorm, with diagonal rain streaking across a dark blue-gray sky and shadowy hills visible in the background. Slippery rocks and a dark ditch are faintly visible on the terrain. Skel appears small and alone against the vast, stormy landscape, conveying the exhaustion of searching for hours.

The hills were fraught with hazards in the storm, but Skel still spent hours out looking for Bones. When it was well past midnight, Skel decided that he would head home to see if Bones was there. If he wasn’t, he would rest up so that he could look again in the morning.

On the right side of the image, Skel sits hunched on the floor with a subdued, worried expression, staring blankly at a bowl of hot food in front of him. On the left, Zom stands nearby facing Skel, having just brought the food, looking at his friend with quiet concern. The scene is set indoors in a dimly lit room with warm but low lighting and deep brown tones, reflecting the somber mood. The atmosphere feels heavy, with Skel's worry filling the small space.

When Skel told Zom what had happened, Zom made him some hot food. That is how Zom likes to look after people. Skel was distraught and had to admit that he hadn't eaten all day. He ate the food, but he was still fraught with worry.

On the left side of the image, Skel sits alone in the warm glow of the house interior, eyes half-closed with a tired, drained expression, finally able to rest. On the right side, Zom is visible near a doorway heading out into the dark night, glancing back toward Skel with a determined look before going to search for Bones. The scene is set indoors with warm amber lighting from a lamp or fire, contrasting with the cold dark visible through the open door. The right side transitions to dark background suitable for text overlay.

Zom told Skel that he needed a short rest before he went out to look again. To make him feel better, Zom said he would search while Skel slept. Zom had taught Skel that rest was important, so Skel let himself sleep.

On the right side of the image, Bones stands on all fours on a forest floor covered in fallen leaves, wearing his bright red bandana, looking cautious and wary with wide eyes as he notices a pack of wolves watching him from between the tall tree trunks. The scene is set in a dark, dense forest with dim lighting. Three wolves stand among the trees on the far right, partially hidden, their eyes glinting as they observe Bones. The left side of the image is a plain dark background area clear of characters.

As Bones ran from the thunder, he lost track of where he was going. He could not find the way home. Distraught and hungry, he began to look around a forest for something to eat, and came across a pack of wolves.

Page 8
On the left side of the image, Bones runs on all fours through a forest floor covered in autumn leaves, wearing his bright red bandana, with an alert, thrilled expression as he hunts alongside the wolf pack. Two wolves run beside him through the woodland setting, with tall trees and autumn foliage overhead and dappled light filtering through the canopy. Bones moves with confidence and energy, fully part of the pack. The right side of the image is a dark, shadowy area of forest background suitable for text overlay.

The more time Bones spent with the wolves, the less like a dog he was. Bones was remembering what it was like to be wild. He hunted for his food and ran with the pack. He was too caught up in the pack to think of home.

Page 9
On the right side of the image, Bones runs energetically on all fours across a forest floor covered in fallen autumn leaves, with no red bandana — his neck is bare. Several wolves run alongside him through the wooded outdoor setting, which is dimly lit under a canopy of dark trees. Autumn leaves scatter behind the running pack. A bright red bandana lies discarded on the ground behind the group, snagged on a low branch. Bones appears determined and free-spirited, fully in stride with the wolves.

When Bones was running along, he lost his bandana. He did not stop to find it. The wolves had taught him that they did not need such things, so neither did he. Bones was losing all of the things that made him a pet and turning wild again.

Page 10
On the left side of the image, Zom stands in a forest clearing, facing Bones with his arms slightly out and one hand extended, approaching cautiously with a hopeful but worried expression. Bones is on all fours directly in front of Zom in a low, defensive crouch, baring his teeth in a growl with a fierce, wild look in his eyes — no red bandana around his neck. The scene is set outdoors in a dense forest with tall trees and leaf-covered ground, under dim, dusky lighting. The right side of the image is open dark background suitable for text overlay.

Zom finally caught up with Bones in the forest, but he did not get the friendly greeting that he was hoping for. Bones stood his ground and made a low growl. He showed his teeth. Zom was distraught that Bones did not trust him anymore.

Page 11
On the right side of the image, Skel stands facing toward a large tree trunk, having just arrived in the forest, with a hopeful, emotional expression. Bones peeks out from behind the tree on the far right, partially visible on all fours with a cautious but softening expression, no red bandana around his neck. Their eyes meet across the short distance. The scene is set outdoors in a forest clearing at dusk, with green foliage, tall trees, and warm light filtering through the canopy. The left side of the image is open background suitable for text overlay.

Zom went home and told Skel where to find Bones. When Skel made it out there, Bones caught sight of him, and something in his heart changed. He missed his friend. He wanted to come home and be a pet again.

Page 12
On the left side of the image, Skel walks forward along a leaf-covered forest path with a happy, laughing expression, one hand scratching Bones behind the ears. Bones walks beside him on all fours, staying close, looking up at Skel with a joyful, nuzzling expression — no red bandana around his neck. Zom stands slightly behind them, smiling warmly and holding out a treat toward Bones. Warm autumn light filters through the canopy of tall trees, casting a golden glow on the trio as they head home together. The right side of the image is a softly blurred autumn background suitable for text overlay.

They began to make their way home. Bones stayed by Skel the whole way. Zom met them on the path with a treat for Bones. Skel laughed as he scratched Bones behind the ears, just happy to have him back.
