You've heard of police dogs. Now meet a detective dog: Ivy, part Chow, part Labrador Retriever, all super sleuth. When a thief begins stalking Shandon, her Capital City neighborhood, Ivy rallies her friends, other neighborhood pets, to help her sniff out the thief. There's Ernest, an English pug who's an astute thinker; Hoover, a hyper Jack Russell Terrier; Lovely, an aging greyhound racing star; Spooky, a homeless cat; and Marigold, a canary. And when the mystery takes a romantic turn, there is Blitz, a handsome police dog who admires Ivy's civic spirit but underestimates her nose for intrigue. With sheer dogged determination, Ivy and her friends sort through clues to find the felon, a stinky, screeching creature who fill their hearts with terror. But only at first. Ultimately, the thief is no match for Shandon s Ivy League of canine, feline, and avian crime-solvers.
