Arrival Story: The Woodford Humane Society was packed with animals during an August heat wave. They couldn't leave the dogs outside for long in the heat, so they had dogs everywhere...in offices, conference rooms, at the desk. They asked their volunteers to please consider fostering a dog through the heat wave. We did, and Maebe got along so well with Lyle and Spring that we decided to keep her.
Bio: Maebe is incredibly sweet. She loves to be near her people! For a dog that spent over a month in the shelter, she is very well adjusted.

I've Been On Dogster Since:
The Unscratchables by Cornelius Kane, is billed as "a new breed of crime novel." Quite frankly, I had to check to see if Lyle wrote it. It's much better writing and more clever than anything Lyle's written, but it's so completely Lyle-ish I had to check to be sure.
Here's the story: Detective Max "Crusher" McNash of the Slaughter Unit in the Police Dog Force is a hard headed, tough as nails bull terrier. He's called to the scene of a double murder--2 rottweilers are dismembered on the docks in a rough district of the Kennels.
When the evidence points to a cat as the perpetrator, the Feline Bureau of Investigation is brought in to partner up with the Slaughter Unit. Crusher has a deep-seated hatred for cats, and Siamese in particular--he was a prisoner of the North Siamese in the war. When the FBI liaison turns out to be a smooth talking, impeccably dressed Siamese, it's almost more than Crusher can handle. But he's a good dog at heart, and obedience trained, so he buries his instincts and partners with Cassius Lap in the investigation.
What they uncover is a conspiracy extending to the highest levels of government, canine and feline. In the process, Lap and McNash form a bond of partnership and incorruptibility--together they become the Unscratchables.
Lyle for sure gives this one a 4 paw rating. If you like a little cheese with your novels, you're sure to enjoy it. Watch out for some eye-rollers and groaners, but all in all it's a smile from start to finish.
She has been kind enough to review a Jon Katz book for us. I'll let her tell you about it.
'Izzy & Lenore: two dogs, an unexpected journey, and me'.
His books are always interesting, funny, and insightful. This one is no different. Izzy works with Mr. Katz doing hospice visits, something very different from anything else he has written about. There is also the surprising struggle Mr. Katz reveals that occurred in his life. I'll leave that for you to discover.
Kiko also gave us another 4 paw rating for "The Art of Racing in the Rain", encouragement for those of you who haven't picked that one up yet.
