Book 1: Bowling Burglar
Rooster, a handsome Golden Retriever who loves belly rubs and bacon, and Squid, a mangy grey cat who loves big naps and butt scratches, are an unlikely duo. Even though their early days were spent scrounging for food and seeking shelter, they knew they were meant for more. As luck would have it, they were rescued by the town veterinarian and welcomed into the best family ever.
Life with their new family is never boring. In Bowling Burglar, a family picnic in the backyard is interrupted by breaking glass and a scream from next door. As the mystery unfolds, Rooster and Squid are smack dab in the middle of the chaos.
Since they spend half their time at the animal hospital, Rooster and Squid also pass along important pet tips about bee stings, zinc toxicity, eyesight in dogs and cats, lizard tails, obesity, and little-known facts about lobsters and frogs.
