Don't you just love a happy ending? These Newshounds sure do, and this week we had some tail-wagging good news about my poodle-pal Lulu.

On Wednesday last week we received a concerning call from detective senior sergeant Greg Turner, who informed us of Lulu's disappearance from her Valley Road home on Sunday, July 7.

Owned by the lovely Leona Smith, who does awesome work for the Tauranga Police CIB Charity Trust, Lulu had been spotted on Maunganui Rd on Monday, but hadn't been seen since.

We got our SunLive reporters on the case and a story was online in a jiffy.

This week we learned Lulu had been found, safe and sound, all thanks to our article.

Greg gave us a call and gladly announced they were able to return Lulu to Leona after the awesome folk at Barkes Corner Vets saw her on SunLive.

'I was contacted by Barkes Corner Vets and they had Lulu there,” says Greg. Great stuff Greg!

We're glad to help – we dogs have to look out for one another.

In other news, while perusing Facebone last week, we noticed some concerning trends emerging in the art scene.

Former Tauranga resident Caelyn, a successful artist now living in Colorado, is perfecting her style of dog drawing. This is not like Mr G's famous portraits. Caelyn's special art technique involves actually drawing ON dogs.

As the photos show, her dog Milo is the first to have been creatively decorated.

We're keeping an eye out for other sorts of four-legged pet art and expect Dalmations will be the next target, to become victims of ‘join the dots' games.

Around the outside of the artwork we need a frame drawn, this is a great job for Border collies.

Lastly, thanks for all your photos this week – it's great to see you having fun with your favourite toys.

Below is my mate Stella keeping close guard over her tugging toys.

More photos next week! Keep them coming, email photos@thesun.co.nz
