Replace this while true statement with a defining statement. You want to define onSpawn(), not have a while true statement. The second while true statement will never run if there is a while true statement before it.

```python
def onSpawn():
    while hero.time < 43:
        pet.moveXY(48, 8)
        pet.moveXY(12, 8)

```

The abc help is OK and every number between 27 and infinity will also work.  
while True: is the usual way to command the pet to make repeatable actions:

```python
def onSpawn():
    # while hero.time < float("inf"):
    # while hero.time < 27:
    while True:
        pet.moveXY(48, 8)
        pet.moveXY(12, 8)
pet.on("spawn", onSpawn)
# default code follows , Don't remove it

```

</div>

```python
def onSpawn():
    while hero.time < 43:
        pet.moveXY(48, 8)
        pet.moveXY(12, 8)
    pass
onSpawn = pet.on("spawn", onSpawn)

while True:
    hero.say("Run!!!")
    hero.say("Faster!")
    pass

```

I did it and it made my pet go to my character
