Zwoggle didn't really have to worry about the dog that came rushing towards him. The fairy called to him to hide & be careful as she knew the dog was not necessarily going to hurt him intentionally but he may do as he was such a boisterous dog that he could have bowled Zwoggle over. Zwoggle had stood still as he remembered the girls saying & all was well. The lady who was following the dog & who Zwoggle had thought was the smelly lady he had heard Ruffle talking about had called out to Zwoggle "Its ok, don't worry Rip is only a baby & just wants to play." She had introduced herself as Hippy Hazel, she asked Zwoggle if he was aware of the puppies in the broken down shed as she was actually looking after them. "Anyway." she said come with me & I will explain things to you. Zwoggle looked over to the good fairy & she seemed to be fine with that, she didn't tell him not to, so he decided he would go with Hazel. Hippy Hazel took him to another building, as Zwoggle hadn't actually seen the pups or the room they were kept in, he'd just heard them, so he couldn't believe the awful room he was going into. Cobwebs everywhere & very bare except for a table & a few pots on a shelf. The good fairy told Zwoggle that she had been watching over him & the friends, she, like Hazel had been looking after the pups & were hoping to free them so they could be reunited with their owners. She said she had been hoping there would be someone come along to help them. Zwoggle was just about to ask the fairy if she had a name when another dog bounded in & knocked poor Zwoggle over. In the melee Hazel shouted over to Zwoggle. "Its ok this is Rips brother Jet, I rescued them from the shed but couldn't find their real owners so they have stayed with me ever since. Sorry they are a bit unruly but they mean no harm." She called the pups to her as Zwoggle grabbed the table to save himself from completely falling. His mind was in a whirl & not just because of what had just happened. "So." he said, as he got up & brushed himself down. "In that shed there are some pups that have been stolen from their owners & you & the good fairy are rescuing them & finding where they live & returning them?" "That is right." said the good fairy. "But are the people who are stealing them not aware of what you are doing?" he questioned. "We tend to take one or two at a time. There are so many in there & they keep bringing more that they don't seem to miss them." Hippy Hazel replied. "We would really like to save them all at once but until now we have not seen anyone we thought we could trust. We hope you & your friends will help us." Hippy Hazel had a pleading look on her face. "We only found out about one little pup called Spangle when we were out for a walk in the woods where we met a pup called Ruffle, Spangle's sister. We said we would help look for her. I am sure when I find & meet up with Jasmine, Meadow & Zlata they will be only to happy to help. "Oh that would be so good." said the good fairy she clapped her hands together & felt so happy. Unbeknown to Zwoggle, Hippy Hazel & the good fairy the friends had seen the pups & were wondering what to do next.
