Recommeded reading from the library:

Monsieur Pamplemousse (series)
by Michael Bond - "inspired blend of comedy, crime and cuisine featuring Pamplemousse and Pommes Frites," his faithful working bloodhound.

Pommes Frites - a famous literary bloodhound
Pommes Frites - from the cover of Monsieur Pamplemousse on Vacation.
Click the picture to see the entire image.

You can find these, and many more books featuring dogs at your local library, bookstore or try abebooks.

If you are considering adding a hound to your family, please consider a rescue hound - there are so many lovely animals waiting for forever homes in rescue, animal shelters and pounds.
