The Adventures of Tooten and Ter: A Nose for Crime opens with thirteen-year-old Terrance O’Connell meeting his new foster father, Captain Leroy Gonzalez. Although growing up in a family of small-time criminals had its drawbacks, this placement with a baggy police captain seemed like the an unendurable situation. Then Ter met Tooten, Cap’s service-dog-in-training, and they formed a partnership, sharing the qualities of curiosity, trust, and fool hardiness. Both at home and on their travels with Cap, for Tooten and Ter, adventure is found around every corner.
