Canine Cop

No reviews yet. Be the first.

Honolulu. 1955.

Officer Rocky is a good cop, a loyal husband... and a German Shepherd.

On Oahu, animals can talk, work, and wear a badge. Rocky patrols the streets with his human partner, Officer Angie Ozawa, trying to keep the peace in a city where mobsters, crooked sailors, gambling dens, and rival gangs are never far away.

Then Rocky's two young pups are kidnapped.

The ransom note is only the beginning. As Rocky and Angie dig deeper, they uncover a deadly conspiracy involving organized crime, drug smugglers, corrupt military police, and a trail that winds from Honolulu's back alleys to the city's bustling harbor.

To save his family, Rocky will have to trust unlikely allies—including cats, rats, and a fearless teenage street kid—and risk everything to bring the criminals to justice.

Originally serialized in an English-language magazine in Japan, Canine Cop is a fast-paced blend of classic noir, police adventure, mystery, and humor set in a wonderfully unique world where the animals are just as human as the people.
