Jack’s Facts:
Dogs understand what humans say.
Humans think they understand what dogs say.
Therefore, dogs are smarter than humans.
This is a fact.
Jack Russell, Dog Detective, lives with his owner Sarge, a police detective. Sarge solves crimes, but, as Jack puts it, “Sarge detects human-type crimes. I detect important crimes.” Each book in this series is a hilarious recounting of Jack’s discovery of, and solving of, an important crime –important to dogs, that is. To help him in solving a crime, Jack makes a “nose map” (a way of storing information collected by the nose), which might include things like “A place under the tree where a cat sat last Thursday.” In case you are confused, each chapter has a glossary with entries such as “Daching. The way dachshunds move about.”
