For a kid who believes in hedge toads and gully cats, he’s awfully nitpicky.

Thanks to ChatGPT, we can get the rest of Snoopy’s story now.
“As Joe Eskimo approached his polar cow, he noticed that she looked agitated. He tried to calm her down and began milking her, but he soon realized that something was wrong. The milk that he was collecting was a strange blue color and had an unusual consistency.
Worried about his cow’s health, Joe Eskimo called his friend, a local veterinarian who specialized in polar animals. The vet arrived quickly and examined the cow, finding that she had ingested a poisonous plant that was growing near the barn. The plant was known to be harmful to polar animals, and Joe realized that he had not been paying enough attention to the vegetation around his farm.
Feeling guilty and concerned for his cow, Joe Eskimo decided to take better care of his farm and his animals. He cleaned up the area around the barn and made sure to remove any potentially harmful plants. He also began to educate himself on the care and well-being of polar animals, seeking the advice of experts in the field.
Over time, Joe Eskimo’s farm became a model of responsible and sustainable farming practices. His polar cow recovered fully from her poisoning, and the tiny polar mice in the barn continued to scamper around, unharmed by the dangers that had once lurked in their environment."
