The Blue Smoker of Barkwater Village

Book excerpt: Barkwater Village is a sleepy seaside community with its share of smiling faces and sunshine. Cloudy skies are few and chronic cursing is not allowed. The village also has the lowest crime rate in the county and remains a regular rest stop for sightseers trying to catch a whiff of a suspicious smelling smoke that supposedly circles the city's skyline each and every evening at exactly six o'clock. Barkwater is a caring, pet-friendly community with bunches of bulldogs, Boston terriers, and bloodhounds. But there's only one Blue Smoker. Booter Pooter, son of the former Blue Smoker, Super Pooter, has a dog-given gift inherited from his father-the uncanny ability to clear any room with his super stinky stench. Following a freak farting fiasco, Booter is officially declared the Blue Smoker, and Super Pooter's stinky successor seeks to successfully smoke out any and all evil in Barkwater Village.
