Zombie Dog Series by Doug Goodman

A dog is found dead along a hiking trail in the secluded canyons of Big Bend National Park. One lone Parks Ranger believes there is more to this discovery than a stray dog dying in the desert, for this is a world where the dead hunt the living. To prove he is right, he needs the help of the leading expert in finding the undead and her zombie-tracking dog, Murder.

Murder has always been there for Angie. He stood loyally by her side in the Colorado wildfires, and he led her to safety in Big Bend National Park. But now they are hunting zombies in the city, joining the City of Houston Zombie Task Force. Their mission is to discover the source of weaponized zombies and prevent gangs from using them... moreMurder has always been there for Angie.
