No one steals a carrot from Mama's garden and gets away with it! Charlie howls and chases the thieving rabbit, and then camps out by Mr. Rabbit's hole until he appears. But the sun is so warm and cozy--perfect for a nap! Charlie must try another tactic: luring the rabbit with another carrot. Will Charlie succeed?

While Charlie, a sleepy basset hound, tells about the busy life of a ranch dog, his best friend Suzie, a Jack Russell terrier, is getting the work done.

"There's nothing that makes Charlie's soul rejoice more than naps and bacon. But when his daily routine of eating and sleeping is interrupted by a new baby calf, Abigail, Charlie is not happy! Things go from bad to worse when Charlie sees everyone rubbing Abigail's belly--instead of his; feeding her--instead of him; and tucking Abigail in at the end of the day--in Charlie's bed. Will Charlie be able to adjust to the new addition?"--Publisher's description....

When Charlie the ranch dog tries to help Abigail the calf, who is stuck in the mud, he gets stuck too.

When Charlie loses his appetite and is not even tempted by bacon, a worried Mama takes the faithful basset hound to the veterinarian, where his nerves are soothed by a friendly puppy.
