A sort of Dick Frances with dogs instead of horses. Great character development of both people and dogs.

This is really Book 2

This is a clever series, even though, as a dedicated anti-gun person, I have trouble following some of the technical aspects. Also, in this book he is engaged and he and Beth acquire Jason, while in the book labeled 2, Whose Dog are You, he and Beth are married with Jason firmly entrenched. In either order, they are both clever plots

In this second (not third, as stated) installment of the series, John and Beth are engaged and investigate the suspicious death of her Uncle George, well-known nature artist and ladies man. They also acquire Jason the dog along the way. Full of dog and nature knowledge, gun information and loveable characters, this is thoroughly enjoyable.

Read the Dog Seried

It is too much effort to stop and review when one is in a read ing marathon. But it would be a disservice to a master plotter and writer. Just as Duck Francis wore horse stories, Mr. Hammond writes dog stories. Excellent work.

Good Mystery

Good combination of mystery and dog training. Some unusual twists and turns but it all works out in the end.
