This series is just so darn much fun!  The voice actor is perfect!  And who doesn't love a story featuring golden retrievers?  Andy Carpenter is a clever every-man freely admitting he's not the best lawyer.  Yet he manages to put together defense cases for clients who are out of hope.

The secondary characters are well-developed and they each bring something to the story.  After six books, I feel like they're my friends.

From the publisher:

Few can rival attorney Andy Carpenter's affection for golden retrievers, especially his own beloved Tara. After he astonishes a New Jersey courtroom by successfully appealing another golden's death sentence, Andy discovers that this gentle dog is a key witness to a murder that took place five years before. Andy pushes the boundaries of the law even further as he struggles to free an innocent man by convincing an incredulous jury to take canine testimony seriously. It will take all the tricks Andy's fertile mind can conceive to get to the bottom of a remarkable chain of impersonations and murder, and to save a dog's life - and his own - in the process.
