I love dog stories.
I loved this book. The protagonist is this kind reasonable dog psychologist surrounded by some rather self serving and in few cases seemingly pathological people.

This book is fun if you are a dog lover. Since I am one, I enjoyed it.
I’m liking the Allie Babcock Mysteries
Really a very different type book. I enjoyed reading this book.
I enjoyed reading this book. I could very easily have read it in one sitting if i had the time available to do so. The pahes flew by of thier own accord. I shall look out for this author.
If you like dogs, this is a nice read.

Fun read but there are many different characters. You have to pay close attention to remember what each character has done.

I loved this book. Couldn’t figure out who did it until the end
Loved it. Looking forward to read next in series.
Plain fun
Good storyline
This book was scary. I was holding my breath several times during the story. That poor dog! But the heroine saves the day … and the dog in the end.
A very different twist on dog stories. a bit of a nail biter at the end.
I’m not a dog person but this was very interesting to me and I learnt alot about dogs.
