Chet is a dog anyone could love -- well as long as you stayed on his good side anyway.  Bernie is a P.I. and Chet is his partner.  Chet was training to become a police dog; he was the best jumper in his class.  Unfortunately that was also his downfall.  But no matter, now he's with Bernie and the two of them make a great investigative pair.  The really fun part of this mystery is that Chet narrates the story - dog fashion!  If he remembers a smell that may be a clue but can't seem to get Bernie to pay attention, well he just may get distracted a bit too and go on to something else.  Like wondering why cats catch birds. After all, he never has.  Well, cats are just strange anyway.  This book is a delight, and I'm keeping my eye out for more.
