Douley (More) - Peter Abrahams

Many thanks to Cindy Headrick for this on Douley, Chet’s October Friend of the Month.

“OMG! What a surprise!! Douley and I are so excited. Thank you. Douley and I just got back from his first ever ride on a golf cart, and saw this ❤️. Douley is a 3 year old Irish Setter. His favorite activities include hunting birds, swimming, putting up with his Aussie sister Dakota, chief sous chef in the kitchen, and sleeping in Mom’s lap while she reads. And he says to include that he is single, ladies.”

A Cat Was Involved

As fans know, Chet first met Bernie on that fateful day when he flunked out of K-9 police school. The details of that day though have always remained a little vague (like so much in Chet’s doggy brain). All we know is that Chet had been the best leaper in his K-9 class, but for some reason he failed his final leaping test...and that a cat was involved...and that there was some blood. But whose? The test, the cat, the blood—all pieces of a puzzle that, when solved, will bring down a dangerous gang of thieves—and signal the start of a beautiful friendship.

This fateful day has been alluded to in every book in the series, and now fans of Chet and Bernie will finally get to find out what actually happened. For these two beloved characters, it was something like love at first sight—and, for Chet, at first smell, too.
