Popcorn and the Dog Groomer

A great read for older teenagers or young adults. This story tells the tale of a well-organized, brilliantly designed crime organization operating in Beverly Hills. Their target? The homes of the very wealthy. The police are baffled and angry. In between the bad guys and the police is a group of unlikely detectives. They are the pampered pooches of the rich families who are being ripped off of everything in their palatial homes. The dogs have a meeting place: Phideaux's Grooming Salon. It's where all the really rich doggies are taken by their masters. While there, they begin to put together bits and pieces of the intricately planned scheme of these multi-million dollar burglaries. The furry protagonist is none other than "Popcorn", a friendly Labradoodle. His favorite groomer is our human protagonist, Drew. Drew's problem is Emily...his boss. She is a highly motivated, greedy bully, and just happens to lead a double life as one of the ringleaders of the crime ring, using Phideaux's as a front. Drew has been walked on most of his life and has very low (if it even exists) self-esteem. Emily takes full advantage of that weakness. But, two very strong, brave women...Jacqueline and Kali, enter the scene, bringing special, essential knowledge with them. They prove to of pivotal support to both Drew and the police. Their are plenty of great characters...human, canine, and even a couple of important feathered ones. Andretti is Drew's racing pigeon and Pablo is the resident parrot at Phideaux's, where he observes a lot and is building his vocabulary in ways sure to be of help to the good guys. This is a very entertaining plot. How can humans and animals work together to put away the bad guys? Come along for the ride.
