🚨🐶 CASE UPDATE: BENNIE CALLED IN TO ASSIST INVESTIGATION 🐶🚨
I was down the village at 5.30am this morning watering the plants before the heat got silly.
At approximately 06:01, CCTV captured a suspicious individual arriving unannounced.
Bennie.
Many of you will remember Bennie as the dog who got himself stuck inside our walls back in December, resulting in a 5 hour rescue operation involving around 15 firefighters, several concerned onlookers and one very embarrassed dog.

With Thomas still missing, we decided there was only one investigator qualified for the job.
After all, nobody knows the village’s hidden corners, tunnels, gaps, flower beds and escape routes better than Bennie.
The search began immediately.
Bennie searched castle hill.
Bennie searched windmill hill.
Bennie searched the bush behind the church.
Bennie searched areas he definitely wasn’t authorised to search.
Bennie ignored several direct instructions.
Bennie entered the river without a life jacket.
Then came the breakthrough.
Hidden in a flower bed, Bennie discovered a set of wheels believed to belong to Thomas.
A few minutes later he uncovered a track tester.
Now here’s where things get very interesting…
The track tester never leaves Micks pocket.
Yet somehow it was buried in the flowers.
Even stranger…
Mick didn’t turn up today.
Which raises a serious question.
Where is Mick?
He hasn’t been seen since being released following questioning by Agent Nutbuster.
Coincidence?
At this stage we’re not ruling anything out.
Meanwhile the investigation took an unexpected turn when Bennie discovered Percy and Toby hiding in the Rose bushes behaving in a manner that can only be described as “deeply disappointing”.
A few feet away Emily and Gordon were found in another flower bed.
Also up to no good.
We have additional photographs but they’re too explicit to post and will not be seeing the light of day. (Maybe).
To make matters worse, Dinny Darren was spotted lurking in the bushes watching the trains again.
When challenged, he claimed he was “following a lead”.
Nobody believed him.
Despite Bennie’s heroic efforts, Thomas remains missing.
Mick remains missing.
The track tester has been recovered.
The wheels have been recovered.
And Bennie finished the operation with a quick dip in the river before heading home by 7am, well before the temperature started climbing.
Before anyone asks, Bennie wasn’t wandering around in 38°C heat all day.
He was on site for less than an hour, completed his investigation, went for a paddle, and clocked off before most people had finished their first cup of tea.
Conclusion.
Thomas: Missing
Mick: Missing
Bennie: Promoted to Senior Investigator
Dinny Darren: Still being watched closely
The mystery deepens… 🤔
