Review: Dog on it is a funny, cute story. Its a quick read, and provides a good view of the world through a dog's eyes. You fall in love with the dog quickly, and laugh. Dog owners would really appreciate this book, because it really puts a voice to a dog's thoughts. It can be a bit repetitive, but that's because of the dog's memory.
Now clearly, unrealistic story, but besides that this dog is both extremely smart and stupid at the same time. I feel that Quinn did not put a lot of research into it. The dog in the story, Chet, just barely failed out of the canine academy, yet there will be times when he doesn't stay when he is told to, or is doing something he shouldn't, etc. I have actually interacted with a dog that just barely failed out of whatever school dogs go to to become helper dogs. And honest to God if you told this dog to stay, it stays until told to move. I'm talking hours if the dog is forgotten. But most people don't have this knowledge and wouldn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but it bugged me occasionally.
Synopsis: Chet helps, his private investigator owner, Bernie sniff out the disappearance of a missing girl. Chet's prime suspects are Prince, a cat owned by the girls father and a parrot owned by the mother. However unlikely his suspects are, Chet does find where the girl is now its just a matter of remembering and getting Bernie to understand.
