About this ebook
Nancy's wish has finally come true: she has a dog of her own. She's a chocolate-colored Labrador retriever, and she's fun and friendly and loves to play. But the pup's also in a sticky situation -- and its up to Nancy to save her.
Hannah's fresh-baked muffins have vanished, and a food thief is loose in the neighborhood. And guess who's getting blamed? Nancy's new puppy. It's so unfair, and she's going to prove it...by finding the real thief!

The New Puppy
Look, Daddy. It’s licking my face!" Nancy Drew cried.
Eight-year-old Nancy was cuddling a puppy in her arms. She let it sniff her reddish blond hair.
At her feet, three other puppies scampered and played in the grass.
Hold her under her tummy,
Mr. Brachman said.
Mr. Brachman owned a kennel and raised Labrador retrievers. His dog Molly was the puppies’ mother.
"I’m trying to hold her, Nancy said, giggling.
But she wiggles!"
Just then the puppy licked Nancy—right on the nose! Nancy laughed. I want this one.
She does seem to like you,
Mr. Brachman said. He laughed, too. She’s the puppy I had in mind for you.
How old are the puppies?
Nancy’s father asked.
They’re ten weeks old,
Mr. Brachman answered. Just the right age to be adopted. The vet checked them yesterday and gave them their first shots.
Shots?
Nancy asked. She made a face. I don’t like shots. Did the puppies cry?
No,
Mr. Brachman said. Puppies don’t mind too much. And they need their shots so they won’t get sick.
Mr. Drew paid Mr. Brachman. Then Mr. Brachman told Nancy how to take care of her new puppy.
Now, remember,
Mr. Brachman said. Labs are smart and easy to train. But you have to start early. She’s going to grow up to be a big dog. Be nice, but be firm with her.
We will,
Nancy promised. She and her father put the puppy in a large wire dog crate in the back of their car for the ride home.
Are you sure she’ll be okay in there?
Nancy asked, frowning.
Yes,
Carson Drew said. And remember, Mr. Brachman told us we have to get her used to the crate right away so she’ll know it’s her home.
Nancy nodded. The puppy curled up on the blanket on the floor of the crate and looked at Nancy with big, friendly brown eyes.
Nancy had asked her father for a dog every single day for a long time. Finally he’d said, Maybe.
Then he and Nancy talked about what kind of dog to get. They decided on a Labrador retriever because Labs were such nice, friendly dogs.
When Nancy’s father pulled into the driveway, Bess Marvin and her cousin George Fayne were waiting. They were Nancy’s best friends.
Bess’s blond hair flew behind her as she ran toward the car. But George ran faster. Her long legs pumped hard. Her short dark curls bounced up
