A missing bow tie. A trail of clues. A mystery only the smallest detective can solve. When fancy bow ties start vanishing all over Willowbrook, Oakley the miniature dachshund is on the case! His beloved blue bow tie has disappeared—and he’s not the only one. With the annual pet fashion show just around the corner, pets across the village are in a panic. Oakley grabs his magnifying glass, fluffs his ears, and gets to work. With the help of Ember the sly ginger cat, Oakley follows the trail through flowerbeds, over fences. But the biggest surprise of all? The bow tie bandit isn’t who they expected—and the reason behind the mystery might just melt your heart.

With charming illustrations and a big-hearted ending, this delightful tale introduces young readers to a trio of unforgettable animal friends and kicks off the Oakley’s Tales series with warmth and wagging tails.
