Its founding premise, telepathy between humans and dogs, becomes reasonable and matter-of-fact just a couple of chapters in, which is when the tense and believable storyline takes over. Edge-of-the-seat reading with an ending that calls for more.”\u003cbr\u003e —Trish King, CPDT-KA, CDBC, Canine Behavior Associates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  “With a deft combination of nearly real science and savvy observations of human nature, \u003ci\u003ePursuits Unknown\u003c\/i\u003e spins a crime-fighting story in which dogs partner with humans in novel and unexpected ways.
