It seems the wiener dog is part of a divorced couple’s
emotional tug-o-war. Marian Firth, who bred Dox, is
certainly concerned for his welfare. Unfortunately, her
vindictive ex-husband, George, won custody—and is going
out of his way to use the animal as ammunition. George
knows that donating the dog to the auction will hurt
Marian—and only he can rescind the offer.
As if tiptoeing through the minefield of a broken marriage
isn’t nerve-wracking enough, there’s also Melanie’s new
stalker—or stalkers—to deal with. The obvious pair is
pesky local television reporter Jill Prescott and her
cameraman, Rich, who figure that Melanie’s nose for
trouble will lead them to the next Big Story. Everywhere
she turns, they seem to turn up. It’s annoying, but what’s
truly frightening is the presence of someone stealthier—
and far more sinister. Someone who’s gotten into her house
at night and turned on every single light in the place;
someone who’s stolen her wallet, and let her dogs loose in
the neighborhood. Someone who's dognapped Dox.
With the doggy abduction and her son's safety on her mind,
Melanie is determined to clear things up as soon as
possible. But new suspects keep coming out of the
woodwork, including Phil, the dogsitting client with a
penchant for “watching,” and Jean and Mike Azaria, a pair
of Bichon breeders who are furious at Melanie because of a
favor gone awry. As things grow more desperate—and
dangerous—it's beginning to look like Melanie’s life may
be the next thing up for auction…
