Today's field note from Sgt. Puppy and the morning watch at Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont.

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 06/10/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: "A robotic vacuum named Chuck left the porch Monday and made it halfway down the driveway before a neighbor caught it. It's grounded now. This is Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. It was Wednesday, June 10th. It was warm in Camp Puppy Haven, heading toward hot. We were working the day watch out of Stranger Bark Brigade. My partner's Murph. The boss is Lieutenant Dot. My name's Puppy. The dog had been barking at Chuck for a week. Nobody listened. They never do until it's halfway down the driveway." Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
