BED-BUGGED: Doodlebugged Mysteries 1
Ask Doodle why he flunked out of service-dog school and he’ll tell you: smart and obedient don’t always go hand in hand. Now he has a new job sniffing out bed bugs for his new boss, Josh Hunter. The best part of the job? Molly, the boss’s ten-year old daughter, who slips Doodle extra treats when she’s not busy snapping photos with her new camera. But Molly has secrets of her own. And when she enlists Doodle’s help to solve a crime, his nose and her camera lead them straight to danger.
OUT-SNIFFED: Doodlebugged Mysteries 2
Doodle’s nose gets put to the test when Molly starts training him to find something very different from bed bugs to clear her best friend’s brother from drug charges. But when Doodle fails to find two vials containing bed bugs during a practice for an important certification trial, the boss is furious.
It takes all of Molly’s ingenuity and Doodle’s keen intelligence to sniff out the real villains and set things right again.
Nominated for the Maxwell Medallion by the Dog Writers Association of America.
DOG-NABBED: Doodlebugged Mysteries 3
A trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains quickly turns dangerous when Molly tries to help a friend and runs smack into an unscrupulous man with a big secret. And Doodle discovers that while it’s no fun being lost in the woods, it can be worse to be found—by the wrong person.
BAD-MOUTHED: Doodlebugged Mysteries 4
Doodle’s the first to admit he doesn’t get Christmas. His job is to find bedbugs for his boss’s bedbug detection business and to watch over the boss’s ten-year-old daughter, Molly. It is not to play a black sheep in a Christmas pageant, a lose-lose situation for sure. Not to mention that just when things start to get interesting, Doodle attracts the attention of a popular video-blogger, whose subsequent “feature” jeopardizes the boss’s business.
Throw in a handful of threatening letters, a devastating fire and some lost dogs, and Molly and Doodle have their hands—well, in Doodle's case, his paws—full finding out just who's been naughty and who's been nice.
RUFF-HOUSED: Doodlebugged Mysteries 5
Sit. Stay. Be Polite with Strangers. What could be easier?
That’s what Doodle thinks when Molly signs him up to take the Canine Good Citizen Test at the annual DogDays Fair.
But the test turns out to be no walk (or sit) in the park. Did he miss the memo about the explosions?
While Molly and her friends investigate, a dog disappears, with repercussions that threaten the bonds of an entire family.
Throw in a bullying neighbor and a chase across a squirrel-infested park near the White House, and Doodle begins to wonder if he and Molly have bitten off more than they can chew.
Winner of the 2017 Dog Writers Association of America AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and Canine Good Citizen Award for the best writing about the AKC Canine Good Citizen Program.
MIS-CHIPPED: Doodlebugged Mysteries 6
One dog, two microchips, two claims . . .
What happens when two people claim to own the same dog? And both insist they have the microchip number to prove it?
When Molly and Doodle watch a good friend’s dog race in flyball tournament, Doodle thinks flyball might be fun. But when Grady’s dog shows an unusual talent for the sport, what initially seemed like a good thing throws Molly and her friend into a world of trouble and hard choices. Faced with the unspeakable, a claim that someone else owns Grady’s dog, Molly and Grady set out to prove the truth. But when events spiral out of control, it takes Doodle’s nose, Molly’s persistence and all their courage to set things right.
ILL-SERVED: Doodlebugged Mysteries 7
Big changes come into Molly and Doodle’s lives when the boss gets married. Doodle loves their new home, except for the annoying kitten that seems to have come with it. But then a neighbor threatens the boss, and escalating acts of vandalism make it clear that someone is trying to force them out. Worse, Molly’s new friend collapses on the sidewalk after his service dog runs away. The dog is supposed to be a diabetic alert dog, but he doesn’t act like any service dog Doodle has ever known. With the boss away on his honeymoon, it’s up to Molly and Doodle to sniff out the truth and set things right.
