This book has two novels, each about a royal dog, a King and a Prince. These two novels are for people lovers, dog lovers, and lovers of cozy mysteries. King was big and protective of his new owner, Skippy, a dog trainer at the Riverview Animal Shelter (RAS). Part Standard Poodle and part something else also rather large and curious, King’s son Prince enjoyed challenges. Don’t fence me in could be his motto. Prince and King became an anti-crime team when they saw something very wrong at the RAS. Readers will enjoy the personal stories that accompany the plot. They will learn about dog training and managing a small business, such as the RAS. Most significantly, they will absorb the dog-training philosophy of Helen Bemis, emphasizing love and not coercion, an approach she has used for years as a successful dog trainer.
