Wrong Dog A Rachel Alexander and Dash Mystery

Service dogs are more than pets, more than companions. They see for the sightless, hear for the deaf, & some--a rare few--can sense when someone may be having a seizure; these special animals are indispensable. That's why Sophie Gordon succumbed when a woman suggested that there might be a way to guarantee that her service dog, Blanche, could be replaced. That's why Sophie brought Blanche to the Horatio Street Veterinary Practice. And that's why she hired Rachel Alexander & Dash, Rachel's pitbull partner in detection. Blanche would be cloned, the woman said; the doctors at Side by Side were trying to make sure that people like Sophie would always have the help they needed. Unfortunately, the puppy they gave her didn't have what it takes, & she wanted to let them know. But, the people Sophie had been dealing with seemed to have disappeared. More unfortunate still, two days after hiring Rachel to find the them, Sophie was dead, & Rachel was certain that there was nothing natural about it. No one is better qualified to write about a female PI & the dogs in her life than Carol Lea Benjamin, one of the most respected writers in the field of dog training, a former private investigator, & the winner of a Shamus Award for Best First Novel for This Dog for Hire, which introduced the sleuthing duo from New York's Greenwich Village. And with brilliant insight into the behavior of humans & dogs alike, Benjamin continues in that winning approach in The Wrong Dog, a novel as moving as it is timely.Benjamin, Carol Lea is the author of 'Wrong Dog A Rachel Alexander and Dash Mystery', published 2000 under ISBN 9780802733481 and ISBN 0802733484.
