Description

“‘Okay listen up everyone,’ I said, zipping up my high visibility jacket. ‘It will be most effective to comb the local area by taking a village each.’ I told my team as I traced my finger across the map. My experience as a former copper was invaluable for our search. We weren’t looking for a missing person though – we had a dog to find.”

Any pet owner knows the agonising panic when their beloved furry family member goes missing, but Tom Watkins, former policeman turned pet detective, is on hand to reunite our animal companions with their owners.

From recording the owner’s voice to lure cats from their hiding place, to organising a fly-over to raise the profile of missing Toby the terrier, from emptying the contents of the owner’s vacuum to tempt in the missing animal with the scent, to organising a Crimewatch-style reconstruction of a dog-snatching on national TV, Tom will do whatever it takes to get the nation’s pets home, safe and sound. The Real Pet Detective is the story of 20 years of missing pets, their owners and Tom’s team of expert pet investigators.
