King and Kayla are on vacation at Grandma’s house when they find a lost dog. What does Kayla know? This dog doesn’t have a collar or any tags. He can sit, lie down, and shake hands. No one around here knows who he is. What does King know? The dog’s family is staying at a campground. Can they figure out who he is and where his family is? How can they help him find his family? King and Kayla must use what they know to solve the mystery.
