Meet Dog Man: the canine cop who is part dog, part man, and ALL hero! This is the origin story of the beloved crime-fighter, created by the inventive school-age duo, George and Harold, the same creative minds behind Captain Underpants. After a terrible accident leaves a cop and his canine partner injured, an emergency operation results in the head of the dog being stitched onto the body of the man, birthing a new breed of justice. Dog Man digs into deception, claws after crooks, and rolls over robbers with an enthusiastic, if sometimes messy, fervor. The debut volume introduces the world to the series' central villain, the hyper-intelligent and utterly evil Petey the Cat, who immediately sets out to test the new hero. This book is a triumphant first chapter, full of Dav Pilkey's infectious, silly humor, simple yet expressive artwork, and positive messages emphasizing the importance of doing good and being true to one's self, regardless of one's—or one's body parts'—challenges.
