Play dead by David Rosenfeld

I have to admit that I picked this book to read because a golden retriever was on the cover and is one of the main characters.  Turned out to be a great read too!  Andy Carpenter saves a golden from a death sentence and then realizes that the dog is a key witness to a five year old murder.  Now Andy must try to convince the jury to believe the dog's testimony and also keep each other alive.  Fast pace read for mystery and dog lovers.  --SS
