Buster was a sleepy dog. He loved to nap on Leo's comfy bed. His brown ears flopped down.

Leo woke up with a big smile. He wanted to play, but Buster stayed fast asleep. He did not move.

Leo called, 'Buster, let's go!' He held Buster's leash. But Buster just stretched and yawned.

At last, Buster stood up. Leo clipped on Buster's leash. They went outside to the street.

Buster started to walk. He pulled Leo straight ahead. Buster only liked to go one way!

Leo wanted to turn right. 'Let's go this way!' he asked. But Buster pulled left. He pulled them home.

Leo thought of a plan. He took out his red bouncy ball. Buster looked with curious eyes.

Leo bounced the red bouncy ball. It rolled down a new, green path. Buster followed fast!

They found a hidden grassy area! Buster ran and jumped. He was not sleepy anymore!

Buster sniffed a new bush on their way home. He liked new paths now! Leo smiled, happy to have a brave friend.
The end.
