About this listen

Spencer Quinn’s first original audio short story reveals how everyone’s favorite detective duo - Chet the Dog and P.I. Bernie Little - came to meet before their first big case in Dog On It. As fans know, Chet first met Bernie on that fateful day when he flunked out of K-9 police school. The details of that day, though, have always remained a little vague (like so much in Chet’s doggy brain). All we know is that Chet had been the best leaper in his K-9 class, but for some reason he failed his final leaping test...and that a cat was involved...and that there was some blood. But whose?

The test, the cat, the blood - all pieces of a puzzle that, when solved, will bring down a dangerous gang of thieves - and signal the start of a beautiful friendship. This fateful day has been alluded to in every book in the series, and now fans of Chet and Bernie will finally get to find out what actually happened. For these two beloved characters, it was something like love at first sight - and, for Chet, at first smell, too.

Bernie and Chet (or Chet and Bernie, depending get on ... the thought seems to have drifted away but never mind.) I’m looking forward to July 2019 when their new adventure arrives.

Cute story

Have listened to it many times; a regular go-to. K-9 school details annoyingly inaccurate but not that serious.

Love it

I didn't have time to start a novel so I selected this on its length. It's the second Bernie and Chet story I've listened to and I'm really enjoying them.

Cute and quick!

What Fun

I really enjoyed this. I didn't know how Chet flunked out of canine cop school. It is not mentioned in Dog On It
Looking forward to the entire series with Bernie and Chet.

Spencer Quinn captures the essence of dogness so well. My husband and I listened on a recent road trip and were smiling and rooting for Chet all the way. Our only complaint was that this one was too short. The narrator brought the characters to life better than I could have imagined if I’d read it to myself. If you love dogs, you’ll love this story!
