A mysterious stranger wants to stop him by using his mind powers to pick up a phone booth to throw at the cat. Two kids are passing by, a boy and a girl, and see the cat villain stealing treasure chests. This seems far-fetched, but it is laugh out loud funny!ĭialog is tongue-in-cheek with 80's and 90's references. In a freak accident, Officer Knight and Greg the Dog get blown up, and the ambulance takes them to the hospital with the siren sounding, 'Wee-OOO-Wee_OOO' -never has anyone found a way to write a siren sound that was legit before Pilkey-so applause for that alone! The ER doctors say that the only way to fix Greg the Dog and Officer Knight is to combine them into one. He is half Dog (the head and dog instincts) and half human (the human body). Pilkey must have spent every Saturday morning glued to his television watching the roadrunner outsmart Wile E.

In a graphic novel that reads more like a 'Rocky and Bullwinkle' cartoon with evil Natasha and Boris, Dog Man is your hero. Rex skeleton becomes reanimated and dances around, a cat can be an evil genius, a police chief is so bumbling that he needs the assistance of Dog Man to solve even the silliest of crimes.

Pilkey does the amazing: he makes everything possible: a T. This second book is even more fun than the original.Inane, silly, charming, ridiculous, and did I say silly? Well, fun then. Kids don't need to be told: Dog Man Unleashed is the real deal! Dav Pilkey just keeps getting it right for those reluctant readers who just need a reason to pick up a book.
