Hank faces a holiday disaster when the Christmas turkey vanishes, and he's blamed for the chaos. As Sally May's relatives arrive, Hank must prove his innocence and uncover the real culprit. With another turkey gone, Hank's reputation hangs by a thread. Can a heroic act save the day, or will he be exiled from the ranch forever? Dive into this festive mystery where the stakes are high, and the truth is elusive.
From the publisher
Hank is in real trouble this time. Loper and Sally May’s relatives are coming for Christmas dinner, and Sally May has been working to get the entire ranch in order including preparing for the Christmas feast. Unfortunately, when she discovers that the turkey she bought has met a terrible end, she pins the blame on Hank! Is he the guilty party, or have more sinister forces been at work to frame him for the crime? Later that day things seem to be looking up, that is, until the replacement Christmas turkey “flies the coop” too, landing Hank in even deeper trouble! Can an act of true heroism right the terrible wrong and salvage Hank’s reputation, or is he doomed to spend the rest of his doggie days in exile?
