In this sequel to Woof, Bowser, Birdie's large, loyal dog, has a second mystery to solve in the Louisiana bayous: someone broke into Birdie's house but didn't take anything. If only Bowser could communicate what his nose tells him! The dog's narration is again hilarious, but it doesn't detract from the serious issues of murder, grief, and job loss explored in the book.
