Exposition: King (AKA Buddy) tells his new friends how he ended up in the P-o-u-n-d and wants to find his missing family, Kayla, Dad, and Mom who works with National Guard.
Conflict: Buddy is adopted by Conner and is taken to his new home in his previous neighboorhood.
Rising Action: As Conner walks Buddy around the block, the dog searches for clues to find his family.
Climax: When Buddy returns from his search empty handed, he notices Connor has gone missing, too!
Falling Action: Buddy plans to find Connor and gives Mom enough "Human Talk" to let her know where her son has gone.
Resolution: The clues given by the dog led Mom to Connor and that's why Kayla, previous owner, called him the King of Crime-solving. Now Buddy/King doesn't know if he will go or stay once he finds his family.
