In this slapstick illustrated crime adventure, the honest Theo Pincher, who doesn't fit in to his family of criminals, finds a clever way to save the family dog, Sherlock, from the nasty new police officer. The new police officer, Clive, is not nice—even the other police are afraid of him. Everything, even the dog, must have a receipt to prove there's no stealing going on. Things without receipts are locked up. Of course, Theo's family don't have a receipt for anything, especially not for their dog Sherlock. When Sherlock is caught, Theo makes a plan to get him back using cooking oil, a dog onesie, and cunning—a plan so good even Theo's family are impressed. This criminally funny tale contains a break-in at the candy store, an interrogation, and comical commentary from the dog, who thinks his name is Shuddup Sherlock.

Massage has a fascinating history dating back 4,000 years, and evidence of the beneficial effects of massage on animals is not difficult to find. We need only look at animals to understand the importance they place on the use of massage through mutual (allogrooming), or self-grooming. Among dogs, an individual suffering from a sore, or some other form of injury, will often have the affected area roughly licked by another pack member. This action, which resembles rubbing, is, in effect, a form of muscle massage. The techniques explained and demonstrated in The Complete Dog Manual – which incorporate a "trouble shooting" guide for problems when working on your dog – should assist you in improving your dog''s health, and help you gain a greater awareness of his or her overall condition. Other techniques are also used by fully trained and qualified canine myotherapists or massage therapist practitioners, but the techniques included here are safe to use without such specialist knowledge.How the dog worksUsing your vetHow massage worksHow to massage your dogMassage techniquesMassage exercise and muscular healthManaging muscle repair, incorporating massageOther techniques
