I am Maddox the Coonhound.
I am a large, friendly dog with white fur and big brown patches all over me.
My owner Shelby calls me her "big ol' coonhound."
She thinks I am pretty smart, and I think she is pretty cool, too.
We live together on Vancouver Island
We like to take walks in the woods behind our house.
Shelby likes to collect wildflowers, and I like to run around and smell things.
I have a very keen sense of smell.
One day, as we were walking along our usual path, I caught a whiff of something I had never smelled before.
It was strong and pungent, like someone had left a skunk carcass in the middle of the trail.
Shelby wrinkled up her nose and said, "What is that stench?"
I barked and ran ahead down the trail.
Shelby followed me, muttering, "I hope whatever it is isn't dead."
The smell got stronger and stronger until we came to a big tree across the trail.
The tree had a door carved into it, and the door was slightly open.
The smell seemed to be coming from inside the tree.
Ella pushed the door open and peeked inside.
I ran around the tree, circling the massive trunk.
My nose was twitching like crazy, trying to figure out what I was smelling.
It wasn't quite skunk, and it wasn't quite decay.
It was something else entirely.
The smell seemed to be coming from the ground, where gnarled roots twisted down into the earth.
Shelby stood back and watched me sniff around.
I pawed at a patch of loose dirt near one of the bigger roots, and the smell got even stronger.
I started scraping at the dirt with my paws, and something metallic glinted in the sunlight.
Shelby came over to see what I had found.
She crouched next to me and said, "What's that?"
I growled softly, not wanting her to touch it.
Something about this discovery felt wrong.
But Shelby just said, "Good boy, Rusty. You're such a good boy."
She scratched behind my ears and I let her scrape away some more dirt.
My paws kept digging, and Shelby started using her hands to brush away the loose soil.
The smell got even stronger, and I could see that it was coming from something buried in the hole I had made.
It smelled like metal and blood.
Shelby's eyes were fixed on the hole, and she leaned forward to reach into it.
She said, "I think I can grab it."
I whined softly, not wanting her to touch it.
But she just said, "It's okay, Rusty. I've got this."
She reached in and wrapped her fingers around something buried in the dirt.
The smell got even stronger when she pulled it out.
It was an old key, caked with dirt and rust.
Shelby held it up to her face to examine it more closely, using her sleeve to wipe away some of the grime.
I nudged her arm with my nose, still unsure about what we had found.
As she wiped away more of the dirt, the shape of the key became clearer.
It was long and thin, with intricate patterns carved into its shaft.
