When Chee the chihuahua tells her friend Ratty about some puppies who've been locked up in a barn, Ratty dashes to the rescue. Woolly the fierce lamb, kind Cow, White Horse, Foxy Loxy, and a whole flock of sheep all pitch in. It seems an exciting adventure, but soon they find themselves in fearful danger. Told in Ratty's own special words, this is a heartwarming story of animals sticking together against the unkindness of two bad men—and winning! It is the third book about Ratty and his friends, following The Road to Somewhere and The Road to the River.
