Ah, hello there. I'm Old Jack and this is Salty.

0:00:210:00:26

Salty loves living here with me, and she often has adventures of her own.

0:00:260:00:32

So, are you sitting comfortably? Good.

0:00:320:00:37

Then I'll tell you one of Salty's waggy tales.

0:00:370:00:40

Once upon a twinkly time, Salty had a toy rabbit called Squidgy.

0:00:440:00:49

It was a very special rabbit.

0:00:490:00:51

She paraded it all over Staithes,

0:00:510:00:54

holding it proudly in her mouth, the way dogs do.

0:00:540:00:57

One particular Sunday, Salty suddenly thought,

0:00:570:01:02

"I haven't seen Squidgy for a while. I wonder where he is."

0:01:020:01:06

So, she decided to go and look for him.

0:01:060:01:09

Squidgy wasn't by the lobster pots.

0:01:090:01:12

Squidgy wasn't at the top of the big steps.

0:01:120:01:15

And Squidgy wasn't on her favourite old rug outside Shelly's cafe.

0:01:150:01:21

And then Salty remembered.

0:01:210:01:24

She'd left Squidgy in one of the fishing boats.

0:01:240:01:28

So, Salty dashed along the harbour side

0:01:280:01:31

and over to where the boats lie waiting for the tide to come in.

0:01:310:01:34

And sure enough, there was Squidgy.

0:01:340:01:38

She carefully picked him up and had a little think.

0:01:380:01:42

A boat wasn't a very safe place to keep her favourite toy rabbit.

0:01:420:01:47

A fisherman could come along at any moment

0:01:470:01:51

and take the boat far, far out to sea,

0:01:510:01:54

and her lovely, squidgy rabbit could be lost for ever.

0:01:540:01:58

There was no time to lose.

0:01:580:02:00

Salty needed to find a safe place to keep Squidgy.

0:02:000:02:04

Ha-ha, and she already had a very clever plan.

0:02:040:02:09

She trotted further onto the beach.

0:02:090:02:12

She sniffed around for a while until she found a good spot.

0:02:120:02:16

And then she started to dig.

0:02:160:02:19

She dug a hole large enough to put Squidgy in.

0:02:190:02:23

Then, she popped the rabbit neatly in the hole

0:02:230:02:26

and carefully pushed the sand back.

0:02:260:02:30

The ears stuck out a tiny bit so that she would be able to find it again.

0:02:300:02:34

It was perfect!

0:02:340:02:37

Salty then went to have a nap outside the Mermaid Cafe.

0:02:370:02:41

And when she woke up, she heard a familiar sound.

0:02:430:02:47

It was the sound of the sea whispering against the harbour wall,

0:02:470:02:52

swish, swash, swish.

0:02:520:02:55

She liked that sound.

0:02:550:02:58

It made her want to jump around and play.

0:02:580:03:01

And she wanted to play with Squidgy.

0:03:010:03:04

But then Salty went down to the beach and made an awful discovery.

0:03:040:03:09

There was no beach!

0:03:090:03:12

The tide had come in and the mighty sea

0:03:120:03:15

lay like a huge, green blanket over the harbour.

0:03:150:03:19

Salty's rabbit was underneath the water somewhere, in a sandy hole.

0:03:190:03:25

Ha-ha!

0:03:250:03:26

And what did Salty do?

0:03:260:03:28

Bing! She had one of her bright ideas.

0:03:280:03:32

She decided she needed to have a word with the sea.

0:03:320:03:38

Now, Salty knew that you must always treat the sea

0:03:380:03:41

with a lot of respect, because it can change its mood very quickly.

0:03:410:03:46

So, she woofed one of her politest woofs.

0:03:460:03:51

Luckily for Salty, the sea was feeling in a good mood today

0:03:510:03:57

and it heard the polite woof.

0:03:570:04:00

And with a huge, lazy roll it reached down, picked out Squidgy,

0:04:000:04:07

and flopped him on the little piece of sand by the harbour wall.

0:04:070:04:11

Ha! Salty was thrilled.

0:04:110:04:14

She barked a happy, woofy "thank you"

0:04:140:04:17

and raced down to the water's edge to pick up her Squidgy.

0:04:170:04:21

Then, holding on to it tight, she dashed back up the steps

0:04:210:04:26

and all the way back home to The Rainbow.

0:04:260:04:30

And when Squidgy was washed and dried,

0:04:300:04:33

Salty carefully put him in the safest place she knew.

0:04:330:04:38

Her own basket.

0:04:380:04:39

Ha-ha!

0:04:390:04:41

Clever Salty. She's the best dog in the world.
