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.

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.
