The Moonhound

City rabbit Alan Green grew up listening to his grandparents' stories of their idyllic Smoky Mountain childhoods. Trying to connect with those roots, he buys a house in their hometown of Wakerobin Hollow. Instead, he feels like an outsider in the close-knit, gossipy town.

Only his elderly cat neighbor accepts him, and she's full of warnings, especially about the moonhounds who killed her husband. It's not long before Alan realizes why.

A possum named Zeke jumps Alan on a hiking trail, bent on robbing him-but during their scuffle, a moonhound attacks them both.

They work together to chase the hound away. Afterwards, Zeke reveals that very same moonhound stole something from him...something valuable. And he wants Alan to help him get it back.
