One Paw in the Grave – Volume Seven
The master storyteller behind the genre-bending Spot and Smudge series offers up this collection of wonderfully twisted dog-themed short stories.
Meet the first dog to take the witness stand in a murder trial, and a doomed chief who wants his dog's story to continue. Watch from the treetops as a girl and her squirrel pals help a dog get the best of a mean old man, and climb to the top of the world with a dog who doesn't know how to quit.
Travel back to the old west, where a pack of cunning dogs meet a band of unscrupulous rustlers, and forward to see a new world gifted to the worthiest of creatures. There's a radio host dog, and hungry bush dogs, and impeccably trained dogs who really know how to take out the trash.
And woven throughout all of these extraordinary tales is one irrefutable truth...
We all have One Paw in the Grave
Praise for the One Paw in the Grave

Amazingly fun stories. I am making my way through his mind volumes. I love his writing style. You can feel the feelings, see a movie in your head, and experience the whole shebang.
