Thurston T. Turtle and the Precarious Puppy in Bloomington, MN

In the third book of the Thurston T. Turtle series, Mr. Turtle finds himself being followed. Mr. Frogson and Mr. Bunnyton tell him his mind is playing tricks on him and he should get some rest. Mr. Possum is besieged by a naughty rascal who scatters his trash. The elusive creature turns out to be a floppy-eared, bigfooted puppy who captures hearts and needs a home and a name. The naming falls to Mr. Turtle's students for that endearing project.
