Bookroo's summary

Sweetie, a gentle Great Dane, faces a dire challenge: protect his friends, Red the Irish Setter and Poky the Beagle, from a pack of twelve hungry coyotes. With a history of three nips and three masters, Sweetie can't afford another mistake or it's off to the pound. As the coyotes threaten to return for a feast, Sweetie must find a way to outwit them without resorting to violence. Can he save his friends and himself from becoming the coyotes' next meal?

From the publisher

Some dogs have a bark bigger than their bite. But Sweetie, The Great Dane, can’t afford to bark – or bite. After three little nips and three masters, the next stop is the pound. So when the burglar comes calling, he waves his tail. When coyotes come prowling, he tries to make peace – as they howl in scorn. They promise they’ll return – to eat his food, his friends, Red the Irish Setter, Poky the Beagle, and Sweetie for dessert! If Sweetie can’t protect them they’ll all perish! How can he outfox twelve hungry coyotes?
