Hillie is a kind-hearted Golden Retriever. But one night she goes missing. Her overnight companion Blue, the family’s Great Dane, limps home in the morning ... but no Hillie.

The family finally traces her to a doggie cell at the local police station and is horrified to discover she is accused of killing and maiming sheep. How can sweet Hillie have suddenly turned so vicious? And why is there no blood on her mouth from all that murdering?

The mission is clear: absolve Hillie from all blame.
