Bookroo's summary

In Greenfield, the Aldens enroll their dog in a new obedience class, only to find themselves in the middle of a mystery. When a Dalmatian and a malamute disappear during lessons, Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny must unravel the clues. Is the culprit the instructor, a dog owner, or someone else? As they dig deeper, the siblings must solve the puzzle before more dogs go missing. Can they crack the case and bring the dogs home?

From the publisher

When a new dog obedience business opens in Greenfield, the Aldens decide to enroll Watch for a refresher course. At the first class a Dalmatian goes missing, and everyone wonders if the dog ran away or was stolen. But when a malamute disappears at the second class, Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny know they have a mystery on their hands. Could the thief be the class’s instructor, the Dalmatian’s owner, the dog groomer, or the owner with the very obedient dog?
