The poster read, “Found Missing: Golden Retriever.” Josh looked closely at the photo as his mind attempted to retrieve the memory of where he saw this dog from the files in his brain.

There was a quick rip sound as he tore the number from the bottom of the page. Josh felt like a detective solving a mystery as he began inputting the number
in his phone.
