The Canes series is a collaboration between brothers McConnaughay and Scott Moore. The series chronicles the respective journeys of a white fox named Vulpecula Noel and a brown Doberman named Sanec Barker. Each book (or "Season") comprises itself of twelve unique episodes, six apiece for each character. The series is set in the anthropomorphic world of Maharris and follows both Vulpecula and Sanec's respective journeys throughout. The Fox Detective is socially-inept and tormented, plagued by pure empathy and the unrelenting desire to solve cases, even though he finds himself absorbing the worst of it. Whereas Vulpecula grew up with notoriety as the son of Hensley Noel, the founder of a group called Rescue that helped bring The Canes Vinatici down from power, Sanec Barker grew up in infamy, facing prejudice for his species. The Doberman ascends up the ranks of the Urgway Police Department, fueled by righteousness and intensity, willing to commit whatever crimes and debaucheries he needs to for his ascension. The first installment was released in 2018. The sequel in 2019, and a third novel is due out in late-2020.
