The Trouble with Chickens (J.J. Tully Series)
JJ is a retired search and rescue dog and is as hard-boiled as a detective can be. When Millicent the mama chicken comes to him for help finding her lost chicks, JJ is reluctant to get involved. But he has to foil the evil plot of Vince the Funnel who is the inside dog and who has a plan. Cute with nice illustrations.
