“Anyone can read this book and get something out of it, whether they ever worked a bloodhound or not. It was enjoyable to read someone else’s bloodhound experiences and it was very hard to put down. Good job, Jeff!”

Jerry Yelk, Rib Mountain Bloodhounds

"Red Dog Rising is a riveting account of one man and one bloodhound who shared a passion for one thing—following the scent trail of criminals. Join Jeff and Ronin through a mix of heart breaking, amusing, and seedy investigations and you’ll experience justice from the end of the leash. This is a page-turner that you won’t want to put down!”
