Art Dog / Mystery on the Dock

Written by Thacher Hurd

Narrated by John Beach

Realistic sound effects and appropriate mood music provide the backdrop for these two fun-filled, action mysteries. Who is that masked dog with an eye for art and a nose for justice? Why, Art Dog, of course! When the Mona Wolfa disappears from the Dogopolis Museum of Art, the police apprehend a mysterious masked artist. With a few swift strokes of his brush, however, the suspect escapes and with super art power, helps apprehend the true criminals. Dazzling artwork and witty nods to the works of such famous artists as Pablo Poodle, Henri Muttisse, and Vincent Van Dog combine in this delightful story. In Mystery on the Docks, an opera loving rat named Ralph stumbles across a mystery when two customers run out of the diner without paying. When he follows them, Ralph finds himself involved in a kidnapping of Eduardo Bombasto, his favorite opera singer! With characters like villainous rodent Big Al and Italian music as accompaniment, this rollicking adventure is sure to amuse and maybe even inspire new fans of opera!
