Bookroo's summary

Hound Hotel is bustling, and Alfie is eager for a break. When Uncle Robert arrives with Twinkles, a Frisbee champion, Alfie sees a chance for excitement. But Gracie, Twinkles' grumpy 'sister,' is determined to keep Alfie away from her pack. As Alfie navigates the chaos, will he find a way to enjoy himself, or will Gracie's fierce protection thwart his plans? Dive into a world where loyalty and fun collide, and discover if Alfie can outsmart a determined golden retriever.

From the publisher

She doesn’t want anyone near her pack, and she’ll stop at nother to keep Alfie away!
