Summary
Thanks to his relationship with the ancient Druid Atticus O'Sullivan, Oberon the Irish wolfhound knows trouble when he smells it - and furthermore, he knows he can handle it.
When he discovers that a prizewinning poodle has been abducted in Eugene, Oregon, he learns that it's part of a rash of hound abductions all over the Pacific Northwest. Since the police aren't too worried about dogs they assume have run away, Oberon knows it's up to him to track down those hounds and reunite them with their humans. For justice! And gravy!
Engaging the services of his faithful Druid, Oberon must travel throughout Oregon and Washington to question a man with a huge salami, thwart the plans of diabolical squirrels, and avoid, at all costs, a fight with a great big bear.
But if he's going to solve the case of the Purloined Poodle, Oberon will have to recruit the help of a Boston terrier named Starbuck, survive the vegetables in a hipster pot pie, and firmly refuse to be distracted by fire hydrants and rabbits hiding in the rose bushes.
At the end of the day, will it be a sad bowl of dry kibble for the world's finest hound detective, or will everything be coming up sirloins?
The Purloined Poodle is another exciting novella entry in Kevin Hearne's New York Times best-selling Iron Druid series.

The purloined poodle
A wonderful read from the perspective of Oberon. The very first paragraph. "Humans always miss the essential politeness of pugs." got the book off to a great start. The story is engaging. The narrator deserves a pat on the back too. Bringing Oberon's obsession with all things bacon, sausage and gravy to life. As always an extremely good book and story line, with added twists and turns to keep the reader engaged and immersed into the world of Atticus and all things druid.

Enjoyable but not essential reading
If you could sum up The Purloined Poodle in three words, what would they be?
An enjoyable distraction
What did you like best about this story?
Everyone loves Oberon, so it's nice he gets to be the star.
Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I've only listened to other Iron Druid but he does those superbly.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
a few chuckles and smiles.
Any additional comments?
It doesn't really add anything new to the Iron Druid series, just an amusing little aside.

Lots of fun
At first I thought the change in the narrater would be detrimental, but the story is so enjoyable and laugh out loud funny it really did not matter. I am having so much fun listening to these books it's making it hard for me to find something else to listen to.

Incredibly inventive
Everyone who likes the iron Druid Chronicles will has to love this adventure Oberon is getting his Druid into. Everyone who likes dogs will do, too. Refreshing change of pace and perspective compared with the original series. Amazing.

Another great book let down by poor narration,
Kevin Hearne's writing is his usual high standard, with lots of intriguing references to other media. However Luke Daniel's narration really grates. This is particularly irritating when Christopher Ragland's narration of some of the other Iron Druid Chronicles is so good.

Irish Wolfhounds Rock!
This is a short romp with Oberon with lots of his trademark wisdom and insight.
He's solving the mystery of missing pedigreed dogs with the help of his friend Atticus, and things will probably get messy and require a bath.
Oberon is such a great character. He had me in stitches in the other Iron Druid books and this one was just too... cute? No no no no... heartwarming!
It's a standalone, so it's not required for Iron Druid. It's a whole lot of fun with the most fantastic dog in literature!
