Lauren Vancouver, director of HotRescues, an outstanding
animal rescue shelter, is helping out her boss, Dante, by
looking out for his interests in a movie being made about
abused dogs -- in this case runaway poodles. Also on the
movie set and looking out for the animals' rights is a
representative from the American Humane Association, Grant
Jefferly. His recommendation decides if the movie will be
awarded the coveted "No Animals Were Harmed" designation.
All is going well until the movie's director wants to film
a scene of the runaway poodles in actual, but controlled,
traffic. There is a heated discussion about ensuring the
dogs' welfare between the director Hans Marford; Carlie
Stellan, a veterinarian; and Grant, so filming is suspended
for the day. During the night Hans Marford is killed in a
hit and run incident. Because she was so upset with
Marford the day before, Lauren's friend and colleague,
Carlie, is the prime suspect. Carlie wants Lauren's
promise that she will find the guilty person since Lauren
has successfully solved other crimes. Our amateur sleuth
has no choice but to help her friend. Lauren knows that
this will not sit well with her boyfriend, Matt Kingston,
an officer with the L. A. Animal Services. Lauren has put
herself in danger before, and Matt really wants her to let
the police do their job without her.
Lauren decides to ask a few questions about the murder
victim and pass on anything useful to the police.
However, her questions bring trouble to her and to
HotRescues, and a big disappointment to Matt. Looks like
Lauren will be trying to save her relationship with Matt
and protect herself from the killer before this is all
over. OODLES OF POODLES is great fun and a clever
mystery.
Shelter manager and pet rescuer Lauren Vancouver once
again takes on the role of amateur sleuth when there’s a
murder on a film set . . .
Has Hollywood gone
to the dogs? Pet rescuer Lauren Vancouver is observing
production on a new movie called Sheba’s Story. The
title character—a white Miniature poodle—is played by many
similar-looking poodles, and to make sure no animals are
harmed, Lauren’s friend, veterinarian Carlie Stellan, and
Grant, a handsome representative from the American Humane
Association, are on location. But when the film’s director
is killed in a suspicious hit-and-run after arguing with
Carlie about animal safety, it’s up to Lauren to clear her
friend’s name and catch a killer before someone else ends up
in oodles of deadly trouble
