Using a similar format to Dear Mrs. LaRue, Ike the dog sends a series of letters to his owner, bragging about cracking the case of two missing cats. Much of the humor is in the art. Black-and-white pictures depict Ike investigating dark alleyways and answering phones at the police station, while color illustrations show he really spent his time playing checkers with the cops and taking bubble baths at a posh hotel.
