A black blur flashed out of nowhere.Four quick paws and a tail streaked across the yard toward the barbecue.Lightning fast, four strong legs launched the blur high into the air.Up went the blur.Down came the steak.They met in mid-air.Whiskered jaws clamped down on the steak. Chomp!The blur rocketed past the barbecue. A shocked dad watched the t-bone steak fly away.In a heroic attempt to save dinner, Zachary and Jeremy lunged at the speeding blur.They missed.Bouncing off each other, they flopped to the ground. The blur dashed on, and, leaping like a gazelle, bolted over the backyard fence, steak and all."Stop, thief! You can't do this to me!" Dad roared.The Todd family wants to have a barbecue… just once. Will they finally be able to? Or, will a furry steak bandit foil their plans? This wild romp will make you laugh… and maybe even have your own peanut butter barbecue.
