Los Angeles animal shelter manager Lauren Vancouver has a soft spot for animals in need--and a keen eye for crime. . . Thanks to a savvy ad campaign featuring teacup pups sporting HotPets Bling--a new line of faux jewelry dog collars--small dog adoptions have skyrocketed across the city. So when Lauren discovers a shelter in the Midwest with more toy dogs than it can handle, she arranges a private plane to swoop in and fly the pups back to LA. But Lauren didnt count on rescue worker Teresa Kantrim coming along for the ride. Teresa has cared for the dogs since they were found and doesnt trust anyone from La-La Land to take over the job. Her biting comments clearly havent earned Teresa any new friends, but when she turns up murdered, its time for Lauren to dig into Teresas past and find out who wanted her put down.
