Good Dogs on a Bad Day

Description

The Secret Life of Pets meets Toy Story in a new illustrated series about a group of Very Good doggie day care buddies who follow a few of their wilder instincts, leading to hilarious chaos. Do good dogs have to be good all the time? Hugo, Lulu, and King love going to doggy day care together. The super-friendly dogs there are very good listeners, and they always follow the rules, even at the park. But then a new dog comes to town. Napoleon jumps on people, dives into fountains, and will do anything (really!) to get human food. The Good Dogs are shocked to see such canine chaos, but they also notice something else- Napoleon seems to be having a ton of fun. That gets them thinking- Could being a little bit bad be a good idea? Find out directly from Hugo, Lulu, and King as they tell you all about it!

"Equal parts hilarious and hair-raising, adventures abound, enlivened by expressive cartoon illustrations. The bright, energetic narration flows seamlessly among the dogs' delightfully distinctive perspectives. . . This series starter is a doggone good time." -Kirkus Reviews "Freeman illustrates throughout in a dynamic style reminiscent of William Steig. A story of redemption and unconditional love . . . this celebration of imperfectability and consensual squirrel-chasing features a cast of sympathetic canines who find that 'sometimes it's nice to just be a dog.'" -Publishers Weekly "Laughs! Friendships! Mutts! BUTTS! Rachel and David obviously crawled into the brains of A LOT of dogs (and one squirrel) for this book, and the proof is in the pages!" -Mindy Thomas, Wow in the World podcast "Every day I read this book was the OPPOSITE of a bad day! These wonderful dogs took me on the adventure of a lifetime, one with tail-wagging twists and turns." -Bowen Yang, Saturday Night Live "A riveting insider's look at what it's REALLY like to be a dog living in the 21st century. Be a GOOD HUMAN and read this book to fully understand your furry masters." --Rachel Bloom, co-creator and star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
