"Before they can work on getting Bunwinkle's confidence back, a new case lands in their laps, well, actually their trash cans when Shoo the raccoon asks for help. The neighborhood humans think he's behind a series of garbage upheavals and home break-ins, but he swears he's innocent. Just because people call him a trash bandit doesn't mean he is one"--Provided by publisher.

Horace Homer Higgins III despises dirt. And the outdoors. And ducks. But when his person, Ellie, moves to a farm called the Homestead, the anxious Boston Terrier is forced to adapt. As if that isn't enough to strain his nerves, Ellie adopts a perpetually cheerful potbellied pig named Bunwinkle to be his baby sister. Bunwinkle is delighted to be on the farm despite the stuffiness of her new canine brother. She's sure she'll crack his shell eventually--no one can resist her cuteness for long--especially once they bond over watching a TV pet-tective show. When the duo discovers that neighborhood animals have been disappearing, they decide to use their new detective skills to team up to solve this barnyard mystery. Is it a mountain lion? Or their suspiciously shot-loving veterinarians? Only one thing seems certain: if they don't figure it out soon, one of them might be next!"--Provided by publisher.

Stubby, a Boston terrier, is scrounging for food in the streets of New Haven, Connecticut, in 1917 when he is adopted as a mascot by the 102nd Infantry Regiment and finds himself on the way to France and the trenches of World War I where he soon learns to save his soldiers by alerting them to impending gas attacks, and eventually is awarded a medal by General Pershing.
