The Mulligan Chronicles

When funeral director Cole Sheridan sees a crooked, hand-painted sign that reads TALKING DOG - $20, he assumes it's a joke. It isn't. For twenty dollars, Cole meets Mulligan-a scruffy, fast-talking ragamuffin mutt who not only talks, but negotiates contracts, makes outrageous demands, and claims a shadowy past filled with secret missions, high-stakes poker games, and suspicious international connections. Against his better judgment, Cole brings Mulligan home, instantly discovering that life with a talking dog is less "man's best friend" and more "tiny criminal mastermind with fur." What follows is a wildly funny, high-spirited adventure through absurd funeral-home mishaps, over-the-top schemes, and one very non-negotiable demand: Mulligan intends to marry an elegant Afghan hound named Farah, and he expects a full-scale wedding-budget, guest list, and seating chart included. Talking Dog $20 is a sharp, charming comedy about chaos, companionship, and what happens when a perfectly normal life collides with a dog who absolutely refuses to be normal.
