About This Book
This riotous follow-up to 'One Hundred Bones' features Scruff, a lovable dog with an insatiable appetite for sausages. His habit of gate-crashing barbecues and lurking near the butcher's shop makes him unpopular, until a genuine theft puts his unique sausage-sniffing abilities to the test. The story explores themes of redemption, using one's unique talents for good, and finding acceptance, all wrapped in a humorous and engaging mystery. It's perfect for early elementary readers who enjoy animal stories and lighthearted detective work.
Scruff just can't resist sausages; salami, pepperoni, chorizo ... he simply loves them all. But gate-crashing barbecues and hanging around outside the local butcher's shop is not making him the most popular dog in town. Then one day, disaster strikes!
