The first episode in what promises to become a series about the Pet Patrol, a two-person business set up by Evie and Megan to redistribute some of the wealth of the prosperous neighbourhood in which they live. Their first job is to find good homes for a quartet of surplus puppies, a task which is accomplished after some heart-searching about the nature of friendship and possessiveness. This is a fairly slight story, but pleasant enough. I was rather jolted by the publisher's decision to insert references to sterling into a milieu which is obviously American.
