856. Passenger Puppy: a calming bedtime and nap time story with a positive message

Pal Puppy goes for another bus ride, but today there is a different driver. Will Pal get to ride? Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:59 Passenger Puppy Excerpt: It was an ordinary day on Ahway Island. In one cozy house, the kitchen was bustling with energy. Pal, the little puppy, darted in between and around the boy and girl’s feet as they rushed around the kitchen, preparing for the day. Pal’s tail wagged furiously, his excitement making him a blur of energy. He loved mornings, especially when everyone was up and about. “Watch out, Pal!” chuckled the girl, gently nudging him away as she grabbed her backpack. The boy laughed and scratched Pal’s ears. “We’ll see you later, Pal!” he said, as he and the girl slipped on their shoes and slung their bags over their shoulders.
