The Buddy Files: The Case of the Lost Boy by Dori Hillestad Butler

Are you a dog lover? Do you enjoy a good mystery?  If so, then you will love Dori Hillestad Butler's book The Buddy Files: The Case of the Lost Boy. King is a goldern retriever who has lost his family and ends up in the pound.  He is adopted by Connor and his mom, and they call him Buddy.  King enjoyed solving mysteries with his original human, Kayla. So when Connor goes missing while they are out for a walk, King (aka Buddy) begins working the case.  You will enjoy this story of a dedicated dog who is a bit distracted by smells, food, and fun (but what dog isn't). The book is adorably illustrated by Jeremy Tugeau. (grades 2-5).
