Bookroo's summary

Horace, an anxious Boston Terrier, and Bunwinkle, a cheerful potbellied pig, find themselves unlikely partners on a farm. As animals mysteriously vanish, the duo must use their newfound detective skills to uncover the truth. Is a mountain lion lurking, or are the veterinarians hiding something? With their own safety at risk, Horace and Bunwinkle race against time to solve the mystery before one of them becomes the next victim. Can they crack the case and save the barnyard?

From the publisher

Horace Homer Higgins III despises dirt. And the outdoors. And ducks. But when his person, Ellie, moves to a farm called the Homestead, the anxious Boston Terrier is forced to adapt. As if that isn’t enough to strain his nerves, Ellie adopts a perpetually cheerful potbellied pig named Bunwinkle to be his baby sister.

Bunwinkle is delighted to be on the farm despite the stuffiness of her new canine brother. She’s sure she’ll crack his shell eventually—no one can resist her cuteness for long—especially once they bond over watching a TV pet-tective show.

When the duo discovers that some neighborhood animals have been disappearing, they decide to use their new detective skills to team up to solve this barnyard mystery. Is it a mountain lion? Or their suspiciously shot-loving veterinarians? Only one thing seems certain: if they don’t figure it out soon, one of them might be next.
