Prologue
The दिन had begun just like any other दिन in the quaint city-life of Manhattan. Passersby were scurrying about the stretches of 5th avenue to get a glimpse of what the new दिन had to offer; smells of cherry, licorice, and mint wafted throughout the air as the summer heat wave progressed to scorch upon the masses. A stray pup, द्वारा the name of Angel, found herself amidst the commotion until something peculiar caught the dog's attention. " Swiss चॉकलेट would be great right about now," एंजल salivated relentlessly while watching Lindt's bakers keep enthusiastically to their work. "No! I can't. I'll have to find Lookout first, before anything else," एंजल mentally berated herself for having लॉस्ट her composure. Where would she be if nightfall descended and she found herself amongst the mentally deranged folk of her kind? एंजल continued throughout the borough of Manhattan.

A breathing, mangy, determined mutt टेरिए, टेरियर covered with sporadic patches of soil-tinted फर gazed solemnly inside Wempe's jewelry and watch store, fascinated द्वारा the contents the खरीडिए beheld. "All those jewels," thought the टेरिए, टेरियर to himself, "are ours for the taking. Hell, even Fagin could make quadruple the income than Sykes with those pearls," "Dodger, baby," came the sing-song voice of a sienna-colored Saluki "we're going back now,". "Yeah, all right Rita, give me a sec," the टेरिए, टेरियर replied. "Dodge'?" Rita interrupted Dodger's state-of-mind. "What are आप doing, baby?" Rita asked.
"See those jewels, Rita?" Dodger gestured towards Wempe's jewelry and watch store with a तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट motion from an ear.
"Yeah, I see them. But what does jewelry have to do with this conversation, Dodger?" Rita inquired.
"I'm takin' the loot," Dodger smiled mischievously.
"Dodge'," Rita scorned, feeling a sudden burden overcome her slim shoulders.
"What happened the last time आप tried playing Robin Hood?"
"Take it easy, Rita, no one's going to get hurt," Dodger protested.
"Dodge', promise me आप won't rob that man's store," Rita pleaded.
"How about I make it up to you," Dodger looked the Saluki directly in the eyes "with some diadéme, fit for a princess! You'd like that, huh Rita?"
"Whatever आप want, Dodge'," Rita scoffed "but we're heading back,"
"All right, I'll catch up with y'all later," Dodger hollered as the Saluki and his फ्रेंड्स made way in a different direction.

"This can't be right," cried एंजल in her thoughts, "I should have been द्वारा Sixth Ave द्वारा now," एंजल frantically paced to and fro, searching for her specific whereabouts with no avail from the people around her.
"Dang," Dodger muttered under his breath. "Who's this pretty, fine thing?"
Black orbs scanned a young female द्वारा the age of 12 from head-to-tail, 20 years old in human years should he have pondered, but द्वारा the looks of the frail creature, Dodger assumed that the female was in need of professional guidance.
Chapter One
The टेरिए, टेरियर mix hopped off the parasol he was laying on and landed with a dull thump on New York's unkempt streets. He proceeded to हटाइए towards the pomeranian, पोमेरेनियन mix with savoir-faire; neither a cat nor fly penetrated his mind.
"Hiya toots," Dodger ushered in "you look a little lost. Mind if I lend आप a paw?"
"I'll be fine on my own, thanks," एंजल turned away from the stranger.
"You've been shuffling about for the past five minutes, doll. आप could use my help whether आप admit it या not,"
"Excuse me?" एंजल कहा flustered.
"It's New York, babe. Let me lend आप a paw,"
"I'm sorry, I should get going,"
"You don't even know where आप are,"
"Please, just leave me alone," एंजल dismissed the chuckling टेरिए, टेरियर mix.
"Listen, doll, you're better off in the hands of a human than आप are roaming the streets of Fifth Avenue. You'll end up as someone's house pet द्वारा the end of the day, guaranteed. Just give 'em the old puppy-dog eyes and-"
"Why are we still talking?"
"Why are आप so uptight?"
एंजल sighed exasperatedly.
"Come on beautiful, let me दिखाना आप around. Where're आप headed to anyway?"
"Don't make me laugh. That's शाहबलूत Ridge,"
"Dang baby, why so far?" "Why are आप interested?" "Lighten up, dollface,"
"I have a name, dog. It's Angel."
"Beautiful,"
