Collar Cases #1: Case of the Robbed Recipe

A dog detective. A beloved baker. A terrible theft. Are the treats gone forever?

Alex Digger adores Grandma Basset’s treats. When a terrible theft threatens the future of her business, he must find the thief before the loss forces her to close her business forever.

Was the thief the disgruntled marketing head Dotty Dipstick, who quit that morning over “creative” disagreements?

Was it Robert Roland, the suspiciously evasive Chief Flavor Engineer?

Or perhaps someone even more sinister lurks beneath the small town peace.

Mittens and Alex are the most famous investigative reporters at the Bowwow Bark, but they’ll need all their wits to crack this case.
