Publisher's summary

A German Shepherd police dog witnesses a murder and if his owner - an Iraq war vet and former cop-turned-thief - is convicted of the crime, the dog could be put down.

Few rival Andy Carpenter's affection for dogs, and he decides to represent the poor canine. As Andy struggles to convince a judge that this dog should be set free, he discovers that the dog and his owner have become involved unwittingly in a case of much greater proportions than the one they've been charged with.

Andy will have to call upon the unique abilities of this ex-police dog to help solve the crime and prevent a catastrophic event from taking place.

David Rosenfelt, a native of Peterson, New Jersey, is a graduate of NYU. He was the former marketing president for Tri-Star Pictures before becoming a writer of novels and screenplays.

As usual, quite wonderful

David Rosenfelt has won my heart with his 'doggie' mysteries. I was so very happy to discover this latest one. I have them all in my library and they are the only books I listen to more than once. Grover Gardner is the perfect reader for Andy Carpenter. Mr. Rosenfelt's sense of humor is great - he has me laughing frequently throughout. And I love all the characters, even Edna! Highly recommend; even more so if you love dogs and a good laugh like I do.

Rosenfelt and Gardner never disappoint

Andy Carpenter stands up for the wrongly accused and makes you laugh while he's doing it. The narrator, Grover Gardner, is perfect. I have listened to 8 of these so far. I try to pepper them in between others so I don't run through the series too quickly. Rosenfelt's characters are quirky, they frequently make you laugh, and the story always keeps you guessing. If you're looking for a fast paced whodunnit, look no further.

Excellent Listen

Once again David Rosenfelt has written a winner. When you listen to a book where a lawyer is defending a dog you wonder how the author can possibly make this interesting. Rosenfelt is a master. The characters are entertaining and the story believeable and interesting. If you would like to be entertained then this book is a must.

Another Great Listen from David Rosenfelt!

You don't have to love dogs to enjoy these books but if you share our love for our 4-legged friends you will especially enjoy their inclusion as one of the main characters. These stories, including Dog Tags, are suspenseful enough to keep you guessing but with such a humorous "tone" that you are also thoroughly entertained. It's a great combination! I am looking forward to the next installment in what has become one of my favorite series.

Great read and even better to listen to

I thoroughly enjoy all the Andy Carpenter series. they are fast paced, full of twists and turns and frequently have unexpected outcomes. Have listened to them all. Grover Gardener captures the personality of Andy exceptionally.

Andy you dog.

I’m a huge fan of the Andy Carpenter stories. There are a few in the series that have more of a government conspiracy tone to them than just the plan old murder ones. They are not my favorites, but they all have the humor and the gang, so all it right with the world again. Narrator is the best for this character. This is my second time listening to the series so worth the money.

If a dog's in the story, I'm hooked.

Where does Dog Tags rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

I have not listened to an Andy Carpenter book I didn't like. David Rosenfelt is one the authors I always look for when trying to find a new book. My only complaint is that the stories are so short in comparison with other audible purchases. Dog Tags has a good story line, and you are immediately sorry for the accused, cause you know he didn't do it. The unfolding of the plot is gradual and intrigueing as is usual in Rosenfelts books.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tara and Milo, because their dogs. And Marcus because he is such an enigma.

Which scene was your favorite?

The opening scene when Mila steals the pouch and the victim is killed.

Who was the most memorable character of Dog Tags and why?

Andy Carpenter of course. His witticisms are priceless.
