And this one has whiskers. Shakespeare, the ginger tabby, otherwise known as Agent 009, never officially signed up to protect the Cook children but in the world famous Spy Dog's absence, he was most definitely the best pet for the job. Shakespeare has some very big (and furry) boots to fill.

Andrew Cope is the bestselling and award-winning author of SPY DOG and SPY PUPS. He lives with his wife and two children in a small town near Derby. He really does have a dog called Lara, who has one sticky-up ear and came from the RSPCA.

He suspects she could be a secret agent but she hides her identity well. Lara most definitely knows a Spy Cat or two in the neighbourhood.
