the true story of the dog who rescues lost cats

"As a veteran and longtime police officer, Colin Butcher was no stranger to dangerous situations. But a career in uniform can wear anyone down, so, in 2003, Colin left the force to start his own private detective agency, specializing in helping reuinite people with their missing pets. And yet, despite his hundreds of successes, there were still heartbreaking cases where Colin couldn't find the missing on his own. He knew he needed a partner. When Colin first met Molly, his friends doubted that she would be up for the job. Where Colin was accomplished, Molly was young and inexperienced. She was willful, wayward, and stubborn. But Colin could tell that Molly was unusually intelligent. He decided to take a risk and bring Molly on for training. Yes, Molly, a black Cocker Spaniel, is no ordinary deputy, but this is no ordinary detective agency! Trained by the top canine behavioral experts at Medical Detection Dogs, Molly can find missing cats -- who are skilled at dodging humans -- by detecting a unique scent signature, and she has been wildly successful. The work is not always easy. Molly has faced hardships ranging from a near-fatal snakebite to the challenge of winning over Colin's girlfriend, Sarah. But through it all, Colin and Molly share an enduring love and affection. More than a working relationship, Molly is part of the family. Together, they are the Holmes and Watson of missing pets" -- Book jacket flap
