Man, Person, Face, Human, Portrait, Male

Alex Freedman was a private eye.  He and his trusty dog Dennis, worked on cold cases.  Cases the cops couldn't solve and filed under dead end.  This was back in the early forties, when things were more...black and white.

Alex and Dennis, solved almost every case they ever took, but they didn't get much press.  The cops really didn't like to share the glory and they definitely didn't like the way in which the crimes were solved.

You see, Alex and Dennis had, special gifts.  They could both talk to the dead, which, when you think about it, definitely gave them a crime solving edge.

Alex would question the dogs who had run over the Rainbow Bridge, since dogs were always happy to see humans.   And Dennis, questioned the humans who had crossed over whatever bridge they crossed over, since humans love dogs and would tell them anything they wanted to know.

It makes perfect sense, when you think about it.  People don't trust each other, but they trust dogs.  Dogs like people because they get scratched behind their ears, and they sometimes get treats.  It was the perfect set up, especially since dogs often witness acts of violence, and humans often withhold information, when being questioned by other humans.

You won't find their names on Google, and there are no comic books in their honor.  The cops bury that kind of information deep.  But now you know they once existed.  They existed, and they made people pay for the terrible things they did.  No one can ask for more than that.
