This children's fiction chapter book for ages 9-12 is the story of a dog and his family as they move from the city to the country where Charlie can sing and make new friends.
Charlie is a Cocker Spaniel, and he loves to sing. Unfortunately, the neighbors are not fond of his voice, and make unkind threats about the noise. Chelsea and Taylor, Charlie's owners, love him dearly and decide that a move to the country where Charlie can sing to his heart's content is in order. His new home has a garden, pesky rabbits, and lots of room to roam. He makes four new canine friends who appreciate his singing and like to chase coyotes. But, when a wild bear comes down from the mountains, Charlie and his friends have their paws full protecting their families.
