Dog dish of doom

"Kay Powell wants to find that break-out client who will become a star. And she thinks she's found him: His name is Bruno and he has to be walked three times a day. Bruno's humans Trent and Louise butt in a lot and Les McMaster the famous director now mounting a revival of Annie might not hire Bruno just because he can't stand Trent in particular. That becomes less of an issue when Trent is discovered face down in Bruno's water dish. With a kitchen knife in his back."--
