What happens in Volume 5: Ghosts in the garden? That can’t be! Mrs. Hansen is at a loss. When Pepper and Paul arrive at the old lady's house, the ghosts have already disappeared.

Fortunately, Pepper doesn't miss a thing: He finds a shoeprint in Mrs. Hansen's garden. Wait a minute - ghosts don't have feet! In reality, it's Mrs. Hansen's neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Adam, who dressed up as ghosts to scare the old lady so that she finally moves into a nursing home. Then the Adams could have bought the house from her and sold it at an expensive price. Fortunately, Pepper once again has the right nose and busts the scam.

Early Reading/Chapter Book / 6+ Paul

Pepper Woof! I‘m Pepper, a real police dog! Well... in training. But I‘m very good at that. Some already call me Inspector Paw. I‘m even the best sniffer in my class. I‘m generally one nose-length in front of everyone as I‘m really clever. Hihi!

That‘s my partner Paul, a great police officer and super nice! We‘re a great team and really: for Paul, I would give my last piece of sausage. And he would do the same for me. Paws down! Woof!

Nasrin Nasrin is an officer, just like Paul.

But she works in the crime department. They look for suspects while we are responsible for the security.

Paul and Nasrin often work in a team. They like each other, just as Lulu and I do, but I guess it‘s always waaaay more complicated with humans.

Walter Chief officer Walter is Paul’s boss and sometimes a bit grumpy.

He thinks that I cause trouble in the police station. That’s NOT true!

Lulu No one smells like her!

Lulu is also a police dog in training and my secret crush. But: shhh!
