Molly

The heartwarming true story of a man, his rescue dog, and how they became the UK’s most beloved pair of pet detectives.

Molly has faced hardships ranging from a near-fatal snakebite to the challenge of winning over Colin’s girlfriend, Sarah.

Through it all, Colin and Molly developed an enduring love and affection. More than a working relationship, Molly is part of the family. In Molly, Colin recounts their remarkable story.
