Assigned to cope with the crisis and restore the peace, veteran agent Ben Porterfield steps onto the scene to remind us that the CIA's middle name is, after all, Intelligence. Enlivening the mix are Gordon's beautiful girlfriend, Margaret, his temperamental cat, Dr. Henry Metzger, and Metzger's friend, an enormous half-wild dog with huge teeth.

Did I say "laugh out loud" … Uh-huh, Perry has the power to cloud your mind with giggles. And yet he manages it with throw-away lines while still cranking out a plot with twists that leave a veteran mystery reader satisfied. And we're a hard-to-satisfy bunch, right?
Michael Kramer has the genius ability to become invisible as a reader-actor creating vivid characters that are about the plot, not him.
This book must he a classic. If it isn't, I'm declaring it to be. Yep.. this is a classic caper that you'll smile all the way through.
Oh, one tiny gripe, the very… very.. end was oddly dumb. I wonder why Perry appended those few paragraphs. Oh well, no matter… It's just a fine piece of writing overall.
Unusually Cool - CLASSIC. A Must Listen!

The plot seemed rather complicated/convoluted... and is told from a chopped up perspective - sometimes it wasn't really clear that it was a different "event" going on until a few lines into the section. The story was also sorta political in nature... but not with any politics that I cared about (international espionage type stuff). I actually checked the publication date because it felt like a story written in the early '80s and/or as if it was abridged.
Oh well... it was a change of pace...
Mostly it was average

Metzger's Dog is good in many places. But it falls flat due to a rushed story line and lack of character development. I haven't encountered these characters before, but they feel like they were fully formed in a previous book. They don't grow here and that is a flaw. The other flaw is the hurried story. Its too complex and contains too many characters to be so short. I don't often say that. If only Steven King could cut out 80% of one of his later works and hand them over to Metzger's Dog.
Sadly, not Perry's best work
