"The tense disaster scenario presents the ideal backdrop for this furry take on familiar buddy-cop dynamics by Vlahos. Short chapters contribute to a breezy read, and illustrations by Miron portray the dogs with palpable charm." -- Publishers Weekly

Author Bio

Len Vlahos dropped out of NYU film school in the mid-'80s to play guitar and write songs for Woofing Cookies, a punk-pop four piece--think R.E.M. meets the Ramones--that toured up and down the East Coast and had two singles and one full-length LP on Midnight Records. The band broke up in 1987, and Len followed his other passion, books. He still plays guitar and piano, and now he plays ice hockey too (though not very well). And most of all he spends time with his better half (Kristen) and their best collective work to date, their kids (Charlie and Luke) and dog (Shea).
