That was a fun read. Thanks for sharing! Is there a name for this genre? I've read several stories involving anthropomorphized critters, and dogs in particular.

I would simply call this a noir detective story with anthropomorphized characters. Someone compared it to Roger Rabbit. That would be an apt comparison.
I can see the Roger Rabbit comparison. I think we need a specific name for the Roger Rabbit genre. The Anthroponoir Fiction perhaps? Anthro Fiction? Detective Morphiction?
All of those made me laugh.
Roger Rabbit could be called cartoon noir. Essentially, what I'm doing is satirizing hardboiled detective fiction by such writers as Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler using animals as characters. I don't really care what you call it.
