Good Dogs of Harmony Acres was released in 2021 by its author, Zachery Naldrett. It is part of the Canis Minor community content program for Pugmire.

Presentation
This is available as a 16 page PDF with about 10 pages of content; the rest is covers, ogl declarations, and advertising. The book is well edited and nicely illustrated. It is mostly laid out in 2 column format on 7x10" portrait pages. It follows the conventions established by the Canis Minor community, meaning it will be easily digested by Pugmire fans.

Content
This is a quickstart adventure taking place near Harmony Acres. It provides character sheets for 5 pre-generated dogs who grew up in Harmony Acres. The characters are a companion artisan, a worker guardian, a herder hunter, a pointer shepherd, and a mutt ratter. Each of the sheets has the detail you'd expect: a short illustration, full character details, and some suggestions for role-playing the character.

The adventure finds the characters hired on as caravan guards for a trip to Pugmire. There is really only one encounter, but it recurs. Each time they rest or stop, they are attacked by giant scorpions. Errka Staffordshire is a merchant and leader of the caravan and the only other npc described is Tuir Cymric a cat merchant who deals in antiquities. As the attacks continue, Errka mentions that she's only rarely seen scorpions on this route and never twice in two nights. There is a mystery here and when the attacks continue even after leaving the desert it becomes clear that something else is happening.

There are some side notes here about being able to sell the scorpion carapaces and who will profit from them as well as some information on why the scorpions keep attacking and how to stop it.

Evaluation
This is a good starting adventure. The starting pre-gens are nicely balanced and should be able to defeat the scorpions if they work together. The mystery is intriguing but fairly easy to solve. Resolving it takes a little more effort. The adventure does a good job of presenting the hooks and resolutions as well as some trouble shooting information for the GM.

If you're looking for a starting adventure or even a one-shot, this is definitely worth a closer look.
