Bookroo's summary

In a quiet Minnesota town, chaos unfolds as signs are ripped and hydrants broken. When Tundra, the alpha dog, vanishes, Kito, Chester, and their canine friends form Dog Watch. With humans oblivious, these determined dogs sniff out clues to uncover the culprit behind the vandalism and find their missing leader. Will they solve the mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

Pembrook dogs are on the case! A ripped down sign, a broken fire hydrant, and now Tundra, the alpha dog of Pembrook, is missing! There’s trouble brewing in this quiet Minnesota town, and none of the humans seem to notice. But the dogs do! They can smell it in the air. So the dogs of Pembrook – Kito, Chester, and the rest of the gang – form Dog Watch, a canine version of Neighborhood Watch. Together, they set out to uncover the person (or animal) behind the vandalism in town and to find Tundra. Hopefully they’re not too late!
