Precision Salvage Operation

My eyes caught a glint of polished metal wedged between two mossy brick pavers along the walkway. Trotting in for a closer inspection, I found a sturdy brass key lying flat in the joint. The notched teeth gleamed like a row of tiny precision gear pegs! Planting my front paws firmly on the rough brick, I hooked my snout under the round bow and gave a sharp upward heave. The key popped free from the damp grit with a satisfying flick. Leaning my shoulder into the metal, I nudged it smoothly across the pavers, docking it safely under the garden bench riser. Route cleared and asset secured!
