DOG MAN #1 BY DAV PILKEY H/C

The story introduces George Beard and Harold Hutchins, two fourth-grade friends who accidentally create a brand-new comic book superhero. When Greg the police dog and his human cop companion are severely injured in the line of duty due to an explosion caused by the evil cat Petey, a wacky, life-saving surgery changes everything. By sewing Greg's head onto the cop's body, the world's finest crime-biting hero is born: Dog Man

With the keen senses of a dog and the physical form of a human, this new breed of justice is ready to dig into deception, claw after crooks, and roll over robbers. However, he constantly struggles to resist his natural canine instincts—like chasing squirrels or his own tail—while trying to answer the call of duty.
