When an elephant and her handler go missing from a circus, it is cancelled to the disappointment of PI Bernie and his son, Charlie. However, since Bernie shows up before he knows about the cancellation, he chats with the police detective who is there to find out more. Later on, Bernie (and his dog Chet, whose POV the book is from) are hired by the handler’s partner (and the circus’s clown) to find out what happened, since the police are treating this as the handler simply having taken the elephant to get away from the circus.

I really liked this one. As always, it’s fun (and sometimes humourous) to read from Chet’s perspective. This one was extra interesting to me with the animal welfare/cruelty angle of circuses.

Chet is one of the most endearing fictional animals ever, IMO :)

Wait .. .is that javelina I smell? And did someone mention bear claws?

LOL! Do you have the book right there, or are you remembering that line!?

I can channel Chet anytime I want!

And still on the lookout for those wild geese we're supposed to be chasing!

Lol!

I need to get to book 2 of this series. I read the first during Polls and just forgot about moving on. I really enjoyed Chet's perspective.

If you haven't done these on audio, you are missing out. Narrator Jim Frangione must have been a dog in another life. These books often make me laugh out loud because of the wonderful way they are delivered.

@ Robin- my eyes are getting really bad and I know I am eventually going to have to move to audio. I may just give it try with Chet. I love a person who talks fluent dog! LoL

Ah, shoot! I don't think my library has the audio.
