A mystery takes place when a former rescue dog, J.J. Tully, is convinved by chicks to help them rescue their missing siblings.  The whole story was a ploy to trick the rescue dog into going in the neighbor's house.

This is a very witty and engaging story for younger readers.  A great activity as a read aloud would be to have students work on making predictions at the end of each chpater and draw illustrations as to what they visualize from hearing the story.
