Multispecies Leisure: Human-Animal Interactions in Leisure Landscapes seeks to ‘bring the animal in’ to the leisure studies domain and contribute to greater understanding of leisure as a complex, interwoven multispecies phenomenon. The emerging multidisciplinary field of human-animal studies encourages researchers to move beyond narrow focus on human-centric practices and ways of being in the world, and to recognise that human and non-human beings are positioned within shared ecological, social, cultural and political spaces. With some exceptions, leisure studies has been slow to embrace the ‘animal turn’ and consider how leisure actions, experiences and landscapes are shaped through multispecies encounters between humans, other animals, birds and insects, plants and environment. This book begins to address this gap by presenting research that considers leisure as more-than-human experiences. The authors consider leisure with nonhuman others (e.g. dogs, horses), affecting those others (e.g. environmental concerns) and affected by the non-human (e.g. landscape, weather), by exploring the ‘contact zones’ between humans and other species. Thus, this work contributes to greater understanding of leisure as a complex, multispecies phenomenon. The chapters in this book were originally published as a Special Issue of the Leisure Studies.

Abigail Truelove believes her champion standard smooth dachshund, Chloe, has a lock on the Ladies Kennel Club Best in Show trophy. That is, until she discovers her nemesis, Petra Sullivan, has been sleeping with the show judge…and with Abi's boyfriend. Understandably, Abi's upset. In fact, she might even have threatened bloodthirsty consequences. In front of a show ring full of witnesses. So, later, when Abi trips over Petra's dead body in a dark alley, she knows she must find Petra's killer. If not, she could end up showing her wiener dog in prison. To catch a killer, Abi enlists her two best friends to help: Molly, a virgin romance-writer and Dana, a ball-busting mother of two. Together, they revive their high school sleuthing group, The Gumshoe Chicks. When the list of suspects becomes longer than a week's grocery list, the Chicks quickly discover that sleuthing isn't as easy as the Nancy Drew books portray. The local dog show world is full of angry wives, irate competitors and a Mick Dundee type guy with a yard full of man-eating crocodiles–all cheated, tricked or dumped by Petra. Which one would stupidly waste their big-ticket luxury dog leash for a murder weapon? The same one who is now determined to collar Abi?

When Molly Gibson, sensual romance writer but shyest and most insecure member of the Gumshoe Chicks, finds more than she bargained for in the Driscoll's dog trailer, the Chicks - Molly, Abi and Dana - swap show ring etiquette and grooming mitts for some deadly serious sleuthing. Their only clues are the blood splattered dog-grooming scissors found buried in a fellow competitor's chest, a husband blackmailing his wife, and a death threat written on a Betty Boop writing pad. As the Chicks investigate, they discover several suspects at the dog show have something to hide. Was the dead man really a serial Don Juan, intent on taking every female show competitor over 30 to bed? Did the ostentatious poodle exhibitor lose his temper, decide to teach the victim a lesson, and go too far? Or, was the female judge with the Gucci boots angry when the victim threatened to expose her infidelity? And who is that bad-boy biker with the sea-blue eyes and kissable lips? Molly, who has enough trouble resolving conflict in her fictional stories is freaked out at the prospect of confronting a real-life antihero. A villain who's killed not once, but twice, and if she doesn't apply her creative flair to unearthing the culprit, could easily kill again. Just when the Chicks think they know who the murderer is, Molly stumbles over another clue proving them all wrong. With only a geriatric chihuahua and a hairless broom to work with, will she live to pass this message on to the others?
