Chet, the wise and lovable canine narrator of Dog on It, and Bernie, a down-on-his-luck private investigator, are quick to take a new case involving a frantic mother searching for her teenage daughter. This well-behaved and gifted student may or may not have been kidnapped, but she has definitely gotten mixed up with some very unsavory characters. With Chet’s highly trained nose leading the way, their hunt for clues takes them into the desert to biker bars and other exotic locales—until the bad guys try to turn the tables and the resourceful duo lands in the paws of peril. Spencer Quinn’s irresistible mystery kicks off a delightful new series that will have readers panting for more.

"Stalwart, often mischevious narrator Chet's amusing, perceptive canine take on [the novel's] human characters should appeal to hard-boiled fans and canine fanciers alike." -- Kirkus Reviews
"[Dog On It] will delight dog-loving mystery readers, but the book is also an excellent PI tale, dogs aside....A great sleuth and always upbeat, Chet may well be one of the most appealing new detectives on the block, but Bernie us a close runner-up.

It's hard to review this book without giving too much away. Suffice to say, it was a refreshing change from run of the mill detective stories. The book definitely has a bite to it.

This is a crime mystery with a twist - narrated from the perspective of the detective's dog Chet. Chet is endearing, devoted, bumbling and very funny, with what we understand of a dog's characteristic to live in the present. Sometimes he's a slave to his inner urges, though he tries very hard to control them. He adores his owner Bernie, and has great affection for others showing kindness and empathy.
Chet's attempts to help his equally bumbling "partner" Berny solve the mystery of the crime are often hilarious and sometimes touching.
This is a thoroughly entertaining and amusing read and I recommend it to all dog and mystery lovers. - Can hardly wait for Spencer Quinn's next instalment in the promised series.

I read a lot of dog books I have never minded, in fact enjoyed, stories told by the dog. I got to page 80 and still was not into it. I think for a grade 5 person it might have been great. Totally dissapointed . This series is not for me. My first and last . A waste of money.
