Poppy the Police Horse by Gavin Puckett tells the tale of an extraordinary horse named Poppy. Poppy was fit, strong, and healthy—her parents' delight. However, she was born without sight for reasons unknown.

Despite her lack of vision, Poppy possessed an amazing sense of smell. This unique ability led her to be recruited by the police force, where she solves the toughest crimes by relying on her extraordinary nose.
