Sometimes the most loyal witnesses have four paws.

When a prestigious foundation director arrives to evaluate Maple Ridge's therapy dog program, shelter director Liv Barnes-Cooper sees it as the perfect opportunity to secure funding for her dream project. But her dog Duchess's suspicious reaction to the visitor suggests there's more to Helen Bancroft than meets the eye.

After Helen announces a generous grant at the Summer Dog Festival, strange incidents begin to plague the event—tampered equipment, missing therapy dog vests, and peculiar questions about the shelter's past. When Helen's body is discovered strangled with a therapy dog vest, Liv finds herself untangling a web of deception that stretches across three states.

With the help of her husband Sheriff Jim Cooper, loyal volunteer Violet, and an extraordinary golden retriever named Chance who witnessed the murder, Liv must expose a sophisticated fraud scheme targeting vulnerable people and their beloved pets. But as she gets closer to the truth, she discovers the killer has a personal vendetta against the shelter—and Liv herself is the next target.

Time is running out as Liv races to protect her shelter family and solve the case before the killer strikes again. In this heartwarming yet suspenseful tale, she'll discover that sometimes the most loyal friends have four paws, and that second chances can come in the most unexpected forms.
