Some heroes stand tall. Others are just a few inches off the ground. Shorty is a Corgidor with a detective’s nose and a stubborn streak a mile wide. When Princess Prissy’s diamond collar vanishes from her backyard, the humans of Maplewood Lane are baffled. But Shorty knows this wasn't a simple case of a misplaced trinket—he can smell the musk of a predator lingering in the air. Teaming up with his athletic best friend, Sadie Mae, Shorty follows a trail of clues that leads straight into the shadows of the deep woods. There, they discover a sinister plot orchestrated by Razor, a cunning coyote, and his massive, scarred brother, Slate. The diamonds were just the bait; the real prize is the safety of every pet in the neighborhood. As his friends begin to disappear, Shorty must rally an unlikely alliance of loud-mouthed crows, a grumpy tomcat, and a majestic hawk named Streak to defend their home. In a world of sharp teeth and nighttime ambushes, can a small dog with short legs outsmart a pack of ruthless predators? Full of heart, humor, and high-stakes adventure, this mystery proves that true courage isn't measured in height, but in the size of your heart.
