About this listen

When a raging tornado hits Forth Worth, Megan's squad car is flipped over - and her devoted police dog, Brigit, is not amused. But that's not all that's upside down. The streets are littered with looters - and members of a violent street gang - and no local business is safe. It's time to get back on all fours and see that the job of protecting the public is done.

But Megan, outmanned and outgunned, has no choice but to let the gang members get away. Later, when she learns that one of them is a suspect in an unsolved murder case, Megan is determined to see that justice is served. But will she end up in the doghouse? Her investigation has her and Brigit barking up the wrong tree at every turn. Meanwhile a killer's on the loose...who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Fun!

I like the main character . She is good but not perfect. The romance is interesting and not too graphic. I love the chapters from the dog's viewpoint.

Hit & Miss, but humorous

What made the experience of listening to Laying Down the Paw the most enjoyable?

The dog, Bridgett

If you’ve listened to books by Diane Kelly before, how does this one compare?

about the same as the others

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

slap stick comedy

Any additional comments?

I'm listening to this whole series because I really like dogs and the jobs they do. It's sad that Bridgett is portrayed as a Diva, but she is funny and does some cool things. I much prefer strong women characters and Megan does not fill this role. I keep hoping as the series goes on, maybe she'll get better. Overall, the series is humorous, the story lines are goofy and the characters remind me of Police Academy.

Great story. Loved hearing the dog's thoughts.

Fun and sweet story. Liked that justice prevailed! German Shepherd lovers will especially love this audio book.

Too depressing....

I read for relaxation. Listening to the boy’s situation was not relaxing. I’m sure he was saved in the end but I couldn’t stand it long enough to get there so I gave up. The premise of the K9 and his handler is cute so I wish I could keep listening but I read to escape the horrors of the world I don’t need them creeping into my causal reading. It was the same with the last book. I might try one more book because I like everything else.

Good fun

Another good story but one clarification should be made. Houses are not robbed they are burglarized. People are robbed if they are beaten, held at gunpoint or otherwise endangered. It's a common mistake but one that writers need to be aware of. Love Bridgett and Officer Megan

Ugh!

Would you try another book from Diane Kelly and/or Coleen Marlo?

Not Diane Kelly.

What was most disappointing about Diane Kelly’s story?

So many ridiculous details - such as a police officer throwing up at the sight of blood. Really? A valued drug dog being fed junk food. It goes on and on.

Would you be willing to try another one of Coleen Marlo’s performances?

Yes. Nice voice. Needs a different author.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No.

Any additional comments?

None
