Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, what does Sarge, Jack's landlord, do for a living?

Answer: He's a police officer

Sarge is a police officer, based in Doggeroo. While Sarge detects human crime, Jack sniffs out crime that involves dogs.
2. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, Jack has a trusted sidekick. Who is it?

Answer: Foxie

Foxie is Jack's special pal in the books. They don't always agree, but when it comes down to the wire they're good friends. Lord Red, Polly and Shuffle are also friends of Jack, but Polly and Shuffle don't appear in all the books and Lord Red is not smart enough to be trusted.
3. At the end of the book "Dog Den Mystery", in the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, Foxie moves in with someone. Who is it?

Answer: Auntie Tidge

Foxie moves in with kind Auntie Tidge, whom he adores forever after. Jack loves her too, so there's occasionally a bit of friction between the two!
4. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, who are The Squekes?

Answer: Three yappy little dogs.

The Squekes live with Dora Barkins, a friend of Auntie Tidge. Jack is half persuaded they're actually dogbots, since they act as a team and you never see one Squeke alone.
5. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, who lives with Caterina Smith?

Answer: Lord Red

Caterina Smith lives in Uptown House with Lord Red. Since Red often disappears, Caterina Smith's cry of "Lordie--- LORRRDDDEEEEE!" is a common sound in Doggeroo.
6. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, whose aunt is Auntie Tidge?

Answer: Sarge's

Auntie Tidge is Miss Russell, Sarge's aunt. She is well-loved in the Doggeroo community, but Sarge is the only relative who appears in the series.
7. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, which of these possessions is NOT Jack's?

Answer: The old boot

The old boot belongs to Foxie, and woe to anyone who tries to lay a paw on it.
8. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, what kind of dog is Shuffle?

Answer: A pug

Shuffle the pug stars in the book "The Mugged Pug". He lives with Walter Barkley down by the reserve.
9. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, who or what is Fat Molly?

Fat Molly is the cat Jack and Foxie love to hate. She stays with Auntie Tidge in "The Lying Postman" and nearly drives Foxie mad.
10. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, what does Auntie Tidge make for Jack?

Answer: His blanket and special biscuits

Auntie Tidge bakes special biscuits for Jack and Foxie, and Jack says she also knitted his blanket.
11. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, which female dog does Jack not-so-secretly admire?

Answer: Jill Russell

Jill Russell lives at Doggeroo Station. Jack thinks she's wonderful, but Jill usually insults him.
12. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, what is Jack's catchphrase?

Answer: "Jack Russell's the name, Detection's the Game!"

As Jack says sometimes, Jack Russell is his name AND what he is.
13. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, who is constantly expecting to be dognapped?

Answer: Lord Red

Lord Red is worth a fistful of dollars, and always expects the dognappers to come after him. He spends a lot of time running away from imaginary villains and making friends with real ones.
14. In the "Jack Russell; Dog Detective" series, what does Jack often say to Sarge?

Answer: Jack doesn't speak in words. He's a dog.

Jack tells his own stories, but he is a dog. He cannot speak English, although he understands it. He doesn't wear clothes, and he can't do anything a normal dog cannot do.
15. What substance does Jack encounter in the "Case of the Phantom Mudder"?

Answer: pooch polish

Pooch polish is in use at the dog show, and the smell distracts Jack from his work. There is also soap all over the place and, of course, mud.
