Description

A rescue dog named Molly teams up with a retired police detective, Colin Butcher, to form The UK Pet Detective Agency, specializing in finding lost or stolen animals. As a veteran of the Royal Navy and former police officer, Colin had the skills to start his own detective agency, but he needed a partner. Despite Molly's young age and reputation for bad behavior, Colin recognized her intelligence and charisma. Together, they have become an unstoppable team, helping to reunite people with their beloved pets, with Molly serving as Colin's invaluable deputy. 'Molly: The True Story of the Amazing Dog Who Rescues Cats' tells the heartwarming story of the man-and-dog team behind the United Kingdom Pet Detective Agency—how Colin, in need of a new lease on life, rescues Molly the dog, and how Molly in turn rescues many more beloved lost pets. After leaving the police force in 2003, Colin started his own private detective agency. But even with his successes, there were cases he couldn't solve alone and he knew he needed a partner. Initially doubted by friends, Molly, a young, willful, and stubborn black Cocker Spaniel, proved her charisma and intelligence to Colin. Trained by top canine behavioral experts at Medical Detection Dogs, Molly can detect a unique scent signature of missing cats, who are skilled at hiding from humans. Despite challenges, including a near-fatal snakebite and winning over Colin’s girlfriend, Sarah, Molly and Colin share an enduring love and affection. They are the Sherlock and Watson of missing pets, sharing more than a working relationship as Molly is truly part of Colin’s family.
