What's the story about?
When a strange (and very smelly) mystery unfolds, it’s up to a brand-new recruit to step up and solve the case. But this is no ordinary investigation…
Warning: not suitable for squeamish or delicate types.
Who keeps leaving disgusting poo deposits (yes, poo!) over the pavements of Carnation Crescent and why? Many clues are found, but all is not what it seems…
Can The Bearded Shadow solve his very first CAT mission and save an innocent puppy from being rehoused at Bow-Wow Dogs’ Home before it’s too late?
Delve into a world of secrets, criminal activities, fur pockets and a magical warmth stone to boot, this funny adventure is guaranteed to have you laughing out loud all the way through.
If you can handle it.
