J.J. Tully, a retired search and rescue dog who lives out in the country with his handler, Barb. Vince is Barb’s pet dog. Vince is jealous of J.J. and wants to get rid of “The Hero Dog.” Vince kidnaps two of Millicent’s chicks, Poppy and Sweetie, causing the mamma to hire J.J. for the price of a cheeseburger. Together with Millicent’s other two chicks, Dirt and Sugar, J.J. makes plans to rescue Poppy and Sweetie. Soon the tables are turned and J.J. is in a dog cage. Vince is sending J.J. to the vet for the night. Poppy and Sweetie have been in on the kidnapping the entire time. They agreed to Vince’s plans because they wanted to watch television (but stayed to read the books). J.J. gets Dirt to “come clean” and learns he was set-up. Now he needs to find a way out of the cage. One-by-one the chicks join J.J. and Vince is defeated, caged and sent to the vet for his needed ear plugs.

  • “They were half yellow, half white--like fuzzy popcorn kernels with feet. They were new enough to this world to be spitting up eggshell.”
  • “The trouble with doghouses is they don't have doors.”
  • “Sugar was coming at me as fast as those freaky little chickadee legs would take her. She hadn't just inherited her mother's eyes, she'd inherited her mother's crazy.”
