Dog Dish of Doom

If Kay Powell could only work with her clients, she'd be happy—but their owners tend to get in the way. As an agent for animal performers, she's found the perfect dog to take over the role of Sandy in the musical Annie. During the tryout, Bruno's owner Trent Barclay argues with the show's director, who hires Bruno with the stipulation that Trent isn't allowed in the theater. But then Trent's wife finds him face down in Bruno's dog dish with a knife in his back. Now that Bruno has the job, though, there are multiple attempts to abduct him. While a brusque homicide detective investigates Trent's murder, Kay and her showbiz parents focus on the important issue: How can the show go on when Kay has to hide Bruno to keep him safe? This hilarious romp through the world of show business is cast with outrageously funny characters, including Kay's father, an aging actor determined to play detective.
