A Study In Cutlets
Children's Fiction
Being a reprint from the Journal of Doctor John "Good Boy" Watson, M.D. (Medical Dog). Looking back on the events of A Study In Cutlets I am amazed by the remarkable set of circumstances that led me to share quarters, for a time, with an even more remarkable sheetah. At the time, Sherry Bones - only humans called her Sherlock - was a promising consulting detective just starting to make a name for herself in the Milwaukee Zoo while I was simply happy to be adopted from the pound. In the decade of friendship that followed our first meeting, we would be hailed as the single most formidable crime-fighting duo in animal history, but that's another story. This is the tale of how I met Sherry Bones and of our first case together, The Barnyard Mystery. |
