(Scene 2 Top two thirds of page)

Ben and David (he's in a wheel chair) together. Ben is kneeling next to Caesar, (stray dog), he's “talking” to him telepathically.

(BIG BUBBLE OVER CAESAR'S HEAD AND ONE OVER BEN'S HEAD.)

Caesar: “My person can't take me for walks anymore. He has problems with his legs and arms.

He's in constant pain. He leaves me in the house some times but I have little

accidents, so he leaves me in the yard. Of course, I get bored, so I dug a hole under

the fence to get outside.”

Ben: “Where do you live, Caesar?”

“Come on, I'll show you,” Caesar barks and takes off down the block.

(Bottom 1/3 third of page)

Ben: “Let's follow him,” he says to David and they both take off, follow Caesar as he runs

down the block to an old dilapidated house.)

(Scene 3 Top ½ of page)

An old man stands on the steps of the old dilapidated house. His arms outstretched, he grabs Caesar as the dog jumps up on him. Caesar is happy. His tail wags and he barks loudly while the old man pats him and hugs him.

“Caesar, where have you been boy?” Mr. Denton asked his dog. He turns to David, then Ben. “Thanks for finding my dog. He keeps getting out of the fence. I hope he didn't cause any trouble.”

David: “He attacked my friend's guide dog today and now he's at the vet.”

Mr. Denton: “Oh my… I apologize for that. By the way, I'm Mr. Denton. Is your friend and her

dog okay?”

(Bottom 1/4 of page)

Focus is on Caesar. He's sitting next to Mr. Denton, his head cocked to the side while David and Ben go on about the attack and the vet. (Woof)

David: “She's okay, but she misses her canine partner, Sam. He has to stay overnight for

observation at the veterinarian's office.”

Ben: “And now Gabby has to use her cane when she had gotten so used to Sam.”

Mr. Denton: “Why, that's awful. I'm so sorry that happened. I've been meaning to fix the hole

in the fence, but my arthritis acts up all the time. When I get home from work I

can barely move my arms and legs. I tried keeping Caesar in the house, but he

has little accidents. I also tried a leash, but he can't stay on a leash all day, it's

inhumane.”

(1/3 of half page box)

David: “Well, it sounds to me like you need someone to fix that hole in your fence.”

Mr. Denton: “Are you offering a helping hand?”

David: “Yes. I'm pretty good at fixing things.”

“It's over here. I'll show you,” Caesar says and takes off for the back of the yard.

David: “This shouldn't be too hard. Do you have any wooden planks, a little chicken

wire and a few nails?”

Mr. Denton: “Sure do. When can you start?”

David: “Right now.” Then to Ben, “I hope you have the time to help because I'm going

to need an extra set of hands.”

Ben: “Not a problem.”
