\"vallere111111111111111f;agjpajgpj\"<\/a>Recently I posted a blog about some of our favorite cats featured in Cozy Mysteries<\/a>, and I thought it would only be fair to give the same treatment to our other four-legged friends, dogs. Naturally, we’ve already got a Dog Themed Mysteries List<\/a><\/strong>, but here I’m hoping to be both more selective and less in a way – more selective because we’re only talking about our favorites, and less because we can talk about dogs that aren’t necessarily the stars of the show, so to speak, but instead favorite side characters.<\/p>\n

To get the ball rolling, I’m going to say one of my\u00a0current\u00a0personal favorites >>> Rocky, the adorable Shih Tzu from Diane Vallere<\/strong><\/a>‘s Mad for Mod<\/strong> Mystery Series<\/strong>. Rocky is named after one of his owner’s favorite actors, Rock Hudson. (Some of you know that I’m mad for Doris Day\/Rock Hudson movies!) Though only a minor character of the series, he helps bring a charm and life to his owner’s time away from murder and intrigue, helping give the series a much more real feeling while also amusing us with his adorable antics.<\/p>\n
