Dog Man [electronic resource] / Dav Pilkey.
From worldwide bestselling author and artist Dav Pilkey comes Dog Man, the canine cop who's part dog, part man, and ALL HERO! George and Harold have created a new breed of justice. With the head of a dog and the body of a human, this heroic hound digs into deception, claws after crooks, rolls over robbers, and scampers after squirrels. Will he be able to resist the call of the wild to answer the call of duty? Dav Pilkey's wildly popular Dog Man series appeals to readers of all ages and explores universally positive themes, including empathy, kindness, persistence, and the importance of being true to one's self. Everyone Digs Dog Man! ★ "Striking color, interactive pages, drawing tutorials, and a plethora of laugh-out-loud moments all work to keep readers' attention on a tight leash." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★ "High-intensity, heartwarming, and, above all, hysterically funny." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★ "Riotously funny and original." -- School Library Journal, starred review ★ "An utter, unfettered delight." -- Booklist, starred review ★ "Readers (of any age) will be giggling from start to finish." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review ★ "Action-oriented cartoons... Laffs aplenty." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants. In the second grade, Dav's teacher ripped up his comics and told him he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.
