Welcome to Read Along Radio, the podcast that turns reading struggles into reading success with exciting and thrilling stories.

In the last episode, we learned how Mary got Robin to look for the owner of Poppy, the Pekingese at the pound who is scheduled for euthanasia. Because Robin thinks the dog in the cage next to Poppy told him Poppy’s owner is dead, Robin wants to prove this—not just to convince Mary to stop trying to find Poppy’s owner, but also to convince himself that the dog really did talk to him. Robin’s uncle Damian told him that he must be special if dogs talk to him like he thinks, and Robin wants to be special.

In this episode, we’ll join Robin as he tries to help Mary while still trying to find proof that Poppy’s owner has died.
