Hi! My name is Spot, and I am Jane's dog. It's time for Jane to take me for a walk. But today she takes me somewhere special. 'We're going to the zoo, Spot!' she says. The zoo! I've always wanted to go there!
Jane buys a ticket and leads me inside the zoo. There is so much to see and do. 'I want to see every animal in here!' says Jane. That's what I want too, but I want to see them first! I run ahead to see if I could beat her to it.
But soon I realize that Jane is not behind me. I don't know where Jane went. I think I am very lost. There are so many people in the zoo. But I have to find her.
I wander the zoo, looking for Jane. Up ahead, I see something long and brown. It looks like hair. Jane has hair like that! I think I've found Jane! I start barking, excited to see her at last.
Oops! This isn't Jane, or Jane's hair! It's a horse. Horses can have long brown hair too. The horse wonders why I am barking at him. I back away, looking as sorry as I can be. Where can Jane be?
I walk a little further and I see a place with lots of trees. There are nets between the trees. Maybe people climb on them? Just then, I see a hand! Could it be Jane's hand? It looks very much like it.
Oops! That's not Jane's hand. It's a monkey's hand! People and monkeys have very similar hands. The monkey waves at me, and I wag my tail back. Where can Jane be?
I walk through the crowds of people, trying to see Jane. There are so many of them that I can't see that far in front of me. Suddenly, I see something! A flash of yellow and brown. That looks like the shirt Jane was wearing! I run towards the shirt!
Oops! It’s not Jane's shirt. It's a tiger, and it is right in front of me! It is still asleep, and has not seen me. I run away before it decides to have dog for lunch! Where can Jane be?
I am tired now, and I think I have been to every place in this zoo. I come to a big brick wall with a big fence in it. There are lots of people here, but I can just see something behind it. Oh! That looks like Jane's bag! Have I found her at last?
Oops! That's not Jane's bag. It's a crocodile! I am glad I didn't go inside the fence. But I hear something from behind me. 'Where can you be, Spot?'
That sounds like Jane! It is Jane! She has been looking for me, too! I run into her arms, barking and licking her face. 'I'm glad to see you too, Spot!' she says. Now we can see all the animals together!
