The mayoral race is the town's first contested one in a decade. Incumbent Glenn Dunn built his whole campaign on "FIX THE BRIDGE" in red — the same red as the sagging Cedar Bridge — yet Biscuit notices Dunn never once looks at the bridge he promises to fix. Challenger Priya Reyes runs on "TRANSPARENT TOWN HALL," but Biscuit catches the flicker of fear when the Cedar Marsh comes up, and the same suited developer, Trevor Whitlock, dining separately with both candidates. Two bowls, one feeder.
Biscuit can't testify. What he can do is carry. A photocopy of a receipt — $312,000 in "bridge materials" signed by Dunn, for a span Old Wang the cement man says needed four loads, not three hundred grand. A folded draft contract Reyes photographs by phone-light in a dark booth — the marsh rezoned, a quiet consulting fee tucked into section four. The dog drops each at the right feet: Marcy at the Dispatch, Gus at the hardware store, Old Joe at the Town Hall door. The pages do the barking. By Saturday's rally the town has both the receipt and the contract, both candidates are exposed as two sides of the same crooked coin, and a third option nobody took seriously — retired teacher Harold Bean, who "don't have a dog, but have a receipt for new tires" — suddenly looks like the only honest man left.
It is a political satire about a town that needed a dog to do its homework, and about the quiet truth the SL-2 lets Biscuit see: the creature with no stake is the only one who can see the whole board. He endorses no one. He chooses the door guard who asked for nothing.
A warm, sharply funny standalone comedy from the NeuroLink Universe — a series about what happens when the animals we love can finally speak, and what they choose to fetch.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
