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

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 06/08/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: "A working bread machine appeared at the swap shop before eight in the morning. By noon it was gone. Someone is making bread tonight. This is Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. It was Monday, June 8th. It was warm in Camp Puppy Haven, thunderheads threatening to the west. We were working the afternoon watch out of Front Porch Forum Dispatch. My partner's Doris. The boss is Lieutenant Birch. My name's Puppy. A man had posted asking if anyone knew whose bread machine it was. It was his. He'd forgotten he dropped it off. We closed the case." Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
