The Dashing Dog Mystery

By Carolyn Keene and Jan Naimo Jones

Nancy Wins A Holiday Party Raffle -- but Loses The Prize!
Nancy and her Labrador puppy, Chocolate Chip, are enjoying the holiday party at the Dashing Dog salon. They even win the raffle prize -- a one-of-a-kind doggie collar with rhinestones shaped like bones. But then the collar vanishes!
Now Nancy is digging up suspects. There's Petra, a girl from her school. She really, really wanted the collar for her dog, Prince Fabian. And what about Alice Cahill, who writes about pets for the local newspaper? She was crazy for the collar, too. Then there's Mrs. Vanderpool and her two yipping Yorkies -- the collar is just their style. To solve this case, Nancy has to be sure she's barking up the right tree!

Book preview

Collar Confusion

Nancy headed for Petra’s backyard. George and Bess followed her.

Nancy glanced around. She didn’t see Petra anywhere. But she did see Petra’s dog, Prince Fabian. He was running around and around with a chew toy in his mouth.

Nancy’s dog, Chocolate Chip, ran over to join him. The two dogs chased each other, barking happily.

I wonder where Petra— Nancy began. Then she stopped.

Nancy noticed that Prince Fabian was wearing a collar. A jeweled collar.

Prince Fabian was wearing Chip’s missing collar!
