Our Editor's Take

Snoop and Sniffy: Dog Detective Stories for Kids is a mystery podcast. Kids ages five to twelve may enjoy the adventures of Snoop and Sniffy. It's the audio version of a children's cartoon show.

The main character, Snoop, is a recent transfer to Pflugerville, where these stories take place. He's from England, which is evident in his accent. He's an older dog who is pleasant but serious. As the podcast narrator, Snoop sets up the story at the beginning of each episode. In the first one, he encounters Loraine, the duck who patrols the neighborhood to fight crime. Snoop digs up top-secret instructions, and Loraine gives him a citation. She is his foil throughout the series.

In the podcast's first case, Snoop meets Sniffy, and they investigate a weird sound. Snoop is in Pflugerville to train Sniffy to be a detective. Sniffy has a squeakier voice and a lisp. He's younger than Snoop and is more energetic. Sniffy has trouble focusing, but he is a helpful complement to Snoop. In "The Case of the Wet Yard," Sniffy leads the investigation. Since Snoop is British, he is not used to the Pflugerville heat.

Snoop and Sniffy offers many fun mysteries. In "The Case of the Winning Ticket," the dogs search for the winning Bark Street Lottery ticket. In another entertaining episode, Snoop must face his nemesis, Professor Mittens. The inventor, Wheeler, creates a gadget that can disguise any subject as a cat. In another, Snoop and Sniffy search for a missing sock. This case is an exciting crossover episode with the GoKidGo podcast Bobby Wonder. Lead character Bobby is a superhero from another planet. His sidekick, Grabstack, helps solve the mystery. Drac is another popular GoKidGo production.

The podcast's resolutions often contain morals from the legal system. For example, in "The Case of the Holiday Lights," listeners learn that stealing is illegal. Snoop and Sniffy admonish a spider for taking the lights. However, Loraine had confiscated them from a raccoon who had found them in the trash in the first place.
