Charlie
the Ranch Dog
written by: Ree Drummond
illustrated by: Diane deGroat
Charlie is a loveable Basset hound. He brags about how hard he works, but it's really his best friend, Suzie who does most of the work. Charlie is usually eating or napping.
One day Charlie wakes up and realizes he has to save the garden from the cows all by himself. He saves the garden and exhaustedly lays down for another nap, hoping Suzie won't forget to wake him up for his dinner.

Charlie seems like a fun dog. I think this book was featured on B&N audio summer series too. I watched it with my son during its release.
