This is a prequel to the first Chet and Bernie mystery,Dog On It.In this little short story (under 40 pages), we learn how Chet and Bernie first met, and we (finally!) hear the scoop about Chet's rather ungraceful exit from the police K-9 training program.  (Hey, it wasn't his fault!  A cat really WAS involved).I enjoyed this; it was cute and filled in a couple of the blanks in this duo's history.  Chet did seem to be a bit confused though.  In this story Bernie is already living alone when Chet comes into his life, but throughout the series Chet has pretty clear memories of living with Bernie's wife and young son.  Ah well, Chet would be the first to admit that he's not that great with "details" - he's more of a "live in the moment" kind of dog!Series Brief:  The series is told from Chet the dog's point of view.  Chet is a canine charmer who partners up with Bernie Little, ex-cop and current private investigator to solve mysteries.  The mysteries are definitely "light", but Chet's observations about human behavior are insightful and often hilarious.  The pair's obvious affection and devotion to each other is heartwarming.Little (if any) strong language and no sexual content.
