Rumor has it among dogs that there are martial arts masters among the thieves, capable of stealing treasures without a sound.
This terrifies Big Ears because he happens to have a huge treasure, a giant meaty bone.
Back when there was little to eat, Big Ears was skin and bones, his ears bigger than his face. A passing woman threw him this bone. He licked it clean, then refused to let it go. He carries it everywhere. This bone is his most beloved treasure, the perfect bone in all the world.
Big Ears figures anyone who sees this bone will want a lick. Such a rare treasure, once discovered, how could any thief resist?
Big Ears doesn't dare think about it. He grabs his treasure and follows Jingle to find the boss of Goldwater Street, Big Smart.
Three dog heads huddle together. A doggy summit commences.
Big Smart is troubled: he has been burying and digging up his cloth tiger in various corners. The scent of his young owner fades more each day, leaving only earthiness.
And Jingle? He creeps around with his head down, terrified that his precious bell's clear jingling will attract the thieves.
What to do? What to do? WHAT TO DO?
The three dogs woof at each other in circles. They really, truly have no idea.
