Bookroo's summary

George, a loyal hound dog, is used to farm life, keeping cows at bay. But when a city family moves in, they misunderstand his role. As chaos ensues, little Olive vanishes, and George must show his true heroism. Can he bridge the gap between city and farm to save the day?

From the publisher

George is a good ol’ hound dog. He helps Farmer Fritz with the chores and–most important of all–he keeps those sneaky cows out of the cornfield.Then Farmer Fritz moves away, and a new family from the city moves in. The Gladstones have a lot to learn. George tries to help, but they don’t understand his job on the farm…until the day little Olive goes missing, and George shows everyone what it means to be a hero hound!
