I enjoyed this book. The author captures the voice of the dog perfectly. Contains both humor and suspense. An easy read that doesn't insult your intelligence.

This is the first in a series that has potential. I will definitely pick up the next one. "Dog On It" is a private investigator mystery told from the perspective of the P.I., Bernie's partner, Chet his dog. That perspective is the only thing "original" about this book, but who cares? It was cute and charming and fun.

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.
This is a super cute cozy mystery from the dog's point of view. It was quite amusing to read Chet's thoughts about things, especially when he would be telling about something and get sidetracked by something only a dog would get sidetracked by, or when he would find himself involuntarily growling. I also loved how devoted Chet was to Bernie. If you're a cozy mystery reader who also loves dogs (who doesn't?), then this would probably be right up your alley. I'll definitely read more of this series when I'm in the mood for something light and a good chuckle as well.

Definitely a clever perspective, and like everyone else, I love Chet. ;) He was the highlight of the story for sure!

A mystery series told from the point of view of the private detective's dog. Kind of charming, but a really slow way to move the story along. I found myself gradually increasing the reading speed on audible as it went along. Not my thing exactly, but if you love dog stories this might be your thing.
