Peddet reached for his phone to call animal protection when Champ rushed toward the Dumpsters. He ignored the first one, going to the second, rising on his hind legs, pressing his front paws to it, wagging his tail as if he wanted to climb into the container.
“Oh, it’s this Dumpster?” Peddet put his phone away.
Champ gave a little cry.
“Okay, okay, hang on.” Peddet unclipped his heavy gloves from his utility belt and searched the ground, finding a discarded curtain rod to use as a poker. “It’s likely someone tossed out some food, or something smells like a treat to you, that’s what’s got you going.”
Champ barked.
“Hang on.”
Peddet gripped one of the top doors and hefted himself up the side, standing on the steel sleeve, and looked in. The container was nearly full, crowned with plastic garbage bags. Some had split and were leaking swept-up hair from the plaza’s salon. The thing stunk with squadrons of flies strafing heaps of dead flowers and God knows what else.
“Not much here, pal.” Peddet poked the rod into more garbage bags, cardboard boxes and magazines, cartons of rotting eggs, boxes of spoiled vegetables, plastic water bottles, cans, pizza boxes and rotting fruit.
Champ barked.
“I don’t know, buddy.”
Peddet was about to poke a corner when he froze.
He’d spotted it as if it were there waiting for him.
Tucked in the far corner and easy to miss was the pristine sole of a small sneaker, almost glowing amid the garbage. Peddet’s pulse skipped as he braced himself, pulled off one glove, tucked it under his arm and fished his phone from his pocket.
