Good Dog, Bad Dog by Dave Shelton.
Kirk Bergman and Duncan McBoo are pedigree police: the finest canine cops in all Muttropolis. And they’re never short of work. The city is heaving with cunning crooks and malevolent mongrels who would sell their own mother for a bone.
Join our dog detectives as they chase leads, sniff out crime, collar the bad guys and generally get their teeth into adventures full of action, suspense and . . . milkshakes.
Criminals beware: McBoo and Bergman are on your tail!
