The Capture of Cerberus & The Incident of the Dog's Ball by Agatha Christie..Two recently-rediscovered Hercule Poirot short stories. 'The Capture of Cerberus' was intended to be the twelfth in her collection of Poirot stories, 'The Labours of Hercules', but she eventually rewrote it, keeping only the title.

But a chance meeting with an old acquaintance leads to an investigation involving a Nazi dictator and an enormous hound...
'The Incident of the Dog's Ball', probably written in 1933, was reworked as the novel 'Dumb Witness' (1937) with a different murderer and motive. In it, Poirot receives a letter from an elderly lady, written two months before and asking for help. Now she is dead, and Poirot is convinced that her beloved terrier Bob holds the key to her death...
