After several minutes of barking and circling, finally an officer who held the note in her hand knelt down and asked,
"What is it boys?"
We barked again. She turned to the other officers and said, "I think they want to show us something."
About time they figured out what was going on! The cops grabbed flashlights and ran after us. In all the frenzy, Beast and I got separated. I tried to keep up but Beast was simply too fast for me. I was already exhausted from all the running we had done earlier.
By this time, the snow was several inches thick on the ground and I was struggling to make my way through. I could smell Beast and the humans faintly to the west. But what's this? I sniffed the air again. My human and the stranger's scent came from the east.
I picked up my pace and headed towards my human. I carefully made my way through the forest when suddenly, the howls of coyotes filled the air and I froze.

Mr N doesn't freeze at coyotes, he goes after them. So now we know this is a work of fiction!
