About this audiobook
Chet and Bernie-everybody's favorite human-canine detective team-return in an e-original short story that gives Chet's best friend Iggy his moment in the spotlight. Iggy is a dog who doesn't get out much, so it's big news when elderly Mr. Parsons knocks on Bernie's door to say that Iggy has vanished. In the search for Iggy, Chet and Bernie find Mrs. Parsons unconscious on her bedroom floor, in need of urgent medical care. But it's only when they arrive at the hospital that things get really interesting. With a jewel thief making short work of hospital patients' valuables, it seems that Iggy is not alone in disappearing right out from under somebody's nose. Suspects are plentiful and witnesses are few. But when little Iggy reappears, tail wagging, it turns out he holds the key to solving the entire affair. In addition to a clever caper and the return of much beloved characters, this gem of a short story is a testament to the enduring power of friendship in all its forms: neighbor to neighbor, man to dog, dog to dog. Here is a treat you'll devour in one sitting-rather like Chet with a juicy steak that's been momentarily left unattended!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Bernie’s neighbor, Mr. Parsons, comes to Bernie for help. His dog, Iggy, is missing. His wife is ill, and was just released the day before from the hospital. That was the day that Iggy was permitted to visit her there. She rallied from just being with him, and went home that same day. But Iggy was so excited, he darted from her room and causes a bit of havoc before being captured. How does this visit tie in with the thefts that had been occurring at the hospital? Well, Bernie figured it out, and maybe you can, too. It’s a cute short story, illustrating the loving relationships between couples and people and their pets, as well as the caring acts for neighbors. As usual, Jim Frangione does a great job narrating the tale.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Iggy is Chet's best canine friend, the little white dog that lives across the road with Mr. and Mrs. Parsons. Iggy doesn't get out much, because he's far too clever at eluding the fence, and the elderly Parsons aren't up to chasing him anymore--especially with Mrs. Parsons in ill health.
So it's a big surprise when Mr. Parsons comes over early one morning, awakening Chet and Bernie with the news that Iggy is missing.
Even more disturbing, at least to Chet, is that he can't pick up any scent trail for Iggy outside. He was in his house, and then he wasn't.
Mrs. Parsons had just been sent home from the hospital, and in the shock of Iggy's disappearance, she collapses and returns to the hospital. And while paying a visit to Mrs. Parsons there, Bernie discovers there's a new head of hospital security, and there has been a rash of thefts of patient property. He also learns that Iggy was one of Mrs. Parsons' visitors during her previous hospital stay, and did have one exciting run through the hospital during the last visit.
Can the two cases possibly be connected?
This is another entertaining short visit with Chet and Bernie.
Recommended.
I bought this story. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5(Mystery, Novella – adjunct to the series) 4 star ratingAnother sort of prequel to the Chet & Bernie series (see item #1), this is the story of Iggy, the dog next door. Iggy is Chet’s bud, but they don’t see much of each other.While this wasn’t as intriguing as A Cat Was Involved, another series prequel, Quinn still has a way with a story and this dog’s irrepressible take on life.Read this if: you’re a series fan. If you haven’t read any of the books yet, start with A Cat Was Involved and then move on to Dog Gone It. 4 stars-
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In all of the series, Chet talks about his next door buddy, a yappy little dog named Iggy. In this short story, Iggy's companion, the lederly Mr. Parson's asks Bernie to help them find Iggy who is missing. Mrs. Parson is ill and Iggy's disappearance is not helping her one bit. As with the Chet and Bernie mystery series, we are told this story by Chet who offers a distinct view of the world.
