Woof at the Door by Laura Morrigan Pdf

Animal behaviorist Grace Wilde keeps her ability to psychically communicate with furry and feathered critters under wraps. But when a Doberman turns out to be the only witness to a crime, Grace will have to let the cat out of the bag in order to catch a killer. Grace Wilde’s job is anything but normal. When she’s not helping out at the zoo by comforting agitated lemurs, she’s listening to the woes of annoyed house pets. Grace’s life gets even more complicated, though, when the cops summon her to a crime scene to help deal with the murder victim’s terrified Doberman. The pooch turns out to be the only one who saw what happened the night of the shooting—and only Grace can get the information out of him. The problem is, how will Grace tell the distractingly gorgeous Sergeant Kai Duncan that it’s the dog who’s giving her the intel without spilling her big secret or sounding crazy? Left on her own, Grace will have to follow the pup’s lead to track down the killer. But she’ll have to be careful—or curiosity may end up killing the cat whisperer.

Even though sexy cop Kai Duncan is aware of Grace’s secret ability, he can’t initiate an investigation based on the word of a tiger. Now, as Grace searches for solid clues to rescue the missing teen, it’s the human predators she’ll need to watch out for…

Woof at the Door by Leslie O'Kane Pdf

Dog therapist Allie Babcock can deal with an untrained mutt, a skittish Samoyed, and an adventurous Beagle. The wolf in the kitchen, however, is a different story.... Allie Babcock has the best of intentions: to help an old friend and her sweet little beagle deal with a neighbor's untrained dog. Unfortunately, Allie discovers that her friends' neighbors fight like cats and dogs. One neighbor is living decades behind the times. He's a self-proclaimed hippie who sells memorabilia from the '60s and wants his dog to do his own thing, which, if Allie's training methods fall short, could lead to the dog being put down. To Allie's intense dismay, another neighbor wants to breed his Samoyed with a wolf for profit. The would-be breeder is so incompetent that Allie has to break the news that the Samoyed is already expecting puppies-any day now. A third neighbor no longer has a dog, yet seems determined to bark at Allie whenever their paths cross. All too soon, the contentious neighborhood erupts into unexpected violence. Allie finds herself on the receiving end of a nick-of-time rescue by Damian Hesk, a wildly handsome man who operates a wild-animal rescue shelter on his ranch east of Boulder. Allie's heart is torn between two men. She is unsure which way to turn as she becomes deeply embroiled in a life-or-death struggle that will take no prisoners.
