What is this? What are all these branches doing on the ground? I’d better check this out.
I’ve had so many mysteries on my trails lately. It’s been keeping Detective Dog busy.
Speaking of Detective Dog, I’d better get my hat on.

There, that’s better. Now I can delve into this mystery.
Wait a minute! There’s a tree right here that’s missing a bunch of branches.
I wonder if – I wonder if…
No, it’s not possible.
Could all of these branches have fallen off of this tree?
No, when I look closer I see that there’s been some hacking going on.
Somebody hacked these branches off this tree.
I wonder who it could be.
Look here! Is this another clue?
This hacked tree is right next to the prickly pear cactus that I found damaged awhile back.
And over there is the other tree that lost its branches.
I just realized where we are.
Right over there is the place where the Litter Bugs hang out.
This will make my job really easy.
All I have to do is find those Litter Bugs.
I bet they’ll be able to tell me who damaged this tree.
