Casey, the three year old yellow lab, is a Senator in the Central Canine Government. She is investigating why dogs, mostly little Yorkshire Terriers, are disappearing from the west side of her district. She is aided by Cooper the Golden Retriever, Chuckles the Dachshund, and Sashs, the Siberian Husky. Sadly, she is opposed by Juniper, the beagle and his set of dog followers. They all follow scentimas, the smells dogs leave behind, as cats and even crows tell what they know of the missing Yorkies. Casey comes upon mistreated dogs and cats in cages as she and the others find who is responsible for trouble brewing. Now what is the 'Fitzy Resolution', S.B. 3629, that passed both chambers of the Central Canine Government and who is Fitzy?
"The Fitzy Resolution" is well-written but verbose, and the average reader who loves animal stories will have difficulty staying with this story to its conclusion. Casey, Cooper, Juniper, Chuckles and the canine and cat cast of characters speak like members of Congress who should cut their speeches short and get to the point in a sentence or less. This is a great story about humans neglecting and mistreating their pets, and once readers get the story's drift, everyone will applaud "The Fitzy Resolution". The conclusion with wolves from the wild ganging up upon cruel humans is marvellous. The author's inventiveness in footnoting "animal language" is a marvellous touch in creative writing. "The Fitzy Resolution" is a good, if somewhat esoteric, addition to animal stories that tell of a need for better care for pets in general.
