Synopsis (Goodreads):
Thanks to his relationship with the ancient Druid Atticus O'Sullivan, Oberon the Irish wolfhound knows trouble when he smells it - and furthermore, he knows he can handle it.Thoughts on The Purloined Poodle: Oberon (who is probably the goodest boy in the company of a druid IN THE WORLD) can't let injustice lie. Especially when it involves dogs being dognapped or sausages going uneaten. So the goodest boy does what he must do and steps into his role as a mystery solver with gusto. The promise of gravy covered meats is also a good motivator.
When he discovers that a prizewinning poodle has been abducted in Eugene, Oregon, he learns that it's part of a rash of hound abductions all over the Pacific Northwest. Since the police aren't too worried about dogs they assume have run away, Oberon knows it's up to him to track down those hounds and reunite them with their humans. For justice! And gravy!
Engaging the services of his faithful Druid, Oberon must travel throughout Oregon and Washington to question a man with a huge salami, thwart the plans of diabolical squirrels, and avoid, at all costs, a fight with a great big bear.
But if he's going to solve the case of the Purloined Poodle, Oberon will have to recruit the help of a Boston terrier named Starbuck, survive the vegetables in a hipster pot pie, and firmly refuse to be distracted by fire hydrants and rabbits hiding in the rose bushes.
At the end of the day, will it be a sad bowl of dry kibble for the world's finest hound detective, or will everything be coming up sirloins?
But seriously, Oberon is mostly about justice. Because if he and his druid won't look after the dogs of the world, who will?
As it turns out the snatching of prize-winning pooches brings the adorably squishy faced Starbuck into Oberon and Atticus's lives. While Starbuck has a lot to learn about being a crimefighter (and about talking to humans), he's a solid ten in sausage appreciation. Which means he and Oberon become buds in no time.
Dastardly deeds, some prize winning puppers, a bear, a druid who is endlessly patient, and a crime-fighting doggie duo who get the job done. GOOD TIMES!
