Few can rival attorney Andy Carpenters affection for golden retrievers, especially his own beloved Tara. After he astonishes a New Jersey courtroom by successfully appealing another goldens death sentence, Andy discovers that this gentle dog is a key witness to a murder that took place five years before. Andy pushes the boundaries of the law even further as he struggles to free an innocent man by convincing an incredulous jury to take canine testimony seriously. It will take all the tricks Andys fertile mind can conceive to get to the bottom of a remarkable chain of impersonations and murder, and save a dogs life--and his own--in the process.

And for Rick, whom no one would

ever want to beat at anything.

Im not a big fan of acknowledgment pages; most of the time I refuse to even acknowledge them. I especially hate when authors drop names of famous people as a way to impress the readers, and then go on to tell heartwarming little anecdotes to show how tight the author is with those bigshots.

Not me; thats not what Im about. I make my acknowledgments short and to the point, and I dont go scrounging around for impressive names. I let my literary achievements do my showing off for me. If someone has been helpful or inspirational, I thank them if not, I dont. No one gets a free pass.

So, in no particular order, I would like to acknowledge
