This book by Spencer Quinn is one of the funniest, most refreshingly enjoyable books I have read in a long, long time, and I come from a long line of cat lovers so that's saying lot!!
Chet is a mongre-ly sort of dog with one white ear and one black ear. He and Bernie run the Little Detective Agency, which sometimes suffers from a cash flow problem.
Good, kind-hearted, environmentally-conscious Bernie is a somewhat down-at-the-heels PI and a former cop. He and Chet, who flunked out of K-9 school despite being the best leaper in the class, embark on a quest to find a missing teenaged girl whose divorced dad seems to be some kind of sleazebag developer who is financially embarrassed and involved with the wrong sort of people.
Told entirely in Chet's voice and from Chet's point of view, this mystery never seems too cute. Chet is always a dog with doggy likes, dislikes, and habits and the author never tries to endow him with human traits.
If you want a delightful read for a lazy summer day, stop by your neighborhood library or bookstore and ask for Dog on It!
