Bookroo's summary
Jake and his fiercely loyal dog, Jim Ugly, set out across the frontier West to uncover the truth behind his father Sam's mysterious disappearance. As rumors of Sam's death swirl, they are pursued by a curious cast of characters, each with their own motives. Can Jake and Jim Ugly outsmart their pursuers and find Sam before it's too late?
From the publisher
A one-man dogPart wolf and fiercely independent, Jim Ugly is a dog who answers to only one person. Unfortunately, that man – Sam Bannock – has disappeared. Rumor has it that Sam is dead, but to his son, Jake, something about that doesn’t sound quite right. So Jake and Jim Ugly embark on a wild journey into the frontier West, where they find themselves pursued by a pretty lady, a theater troupe, and one very ornery yellow-legged man. And they all want to know one thing: Where is Sam Bannock?
