Charlie the irrepressible basset hound embarks on the life of famous rock-and-roll star before discovering that he misses the ranch.

"There's nothing that makes Charlie's soul rejoice more than naps and bacon. But when his daily routine of eating and sleeping is interrupted by a new baby calf, Abigail, Charlie is not happy! Things go from bad to worse when Charlie sees everyone rubbing Abigail's belly--instead of his; feeding her--instead of him; and tucking Abigail in at the end of the day--in Charlie's bed. Will Charlie be able to adjust to the new addition?"--Publisher's description....

Although bedazzled by pretty Polly Reagan, thirteen-year-old Tom Fitzgerald's great brain and money-loving ways haven't changed a bit.

When Charlie loses his appetite and is not even tempted by bacon, a worried Mama takes the faithful basset hound to the veterinarian, where his nerves are soothed by a friendly puppy.
