The Right Bitch(2010)

Doranna Durgin

Shiba isn't your average bitch in chain mail...she's a line hound with a very special tracking skill. With her handler, she patrols her territory for illicit magic. But Shiba isn't alone on the border line; she now shares the territory with a hound named Sabre, who would rather leave her in his dust. Two hounds, two handlers, and a new kind of magic rising...someone's got to figure it all out. Who else but the right bitch?

First published in the anthology THE CHICK IS IN THE MAIL, this story was written for the popular Chicks in Chain Mail series edited by Esther Friesner.
