Everything You Need to Know About the New Dog Man Book


Dog Man fans across the country can’t wait to get their paws on the new book from best-selling author and illustrator Dav Pilkey! Dog Man #12: The Scarlet Shedder follows the latest heroic, hilarious, and heartfelt adventures of everyone’s favorite canine superhero and is available for pre-order now.

In the follow up to Dog Man #11: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea, Dog Man is back—and this time he’s been sprayed by a skunk. P.U.! A dunk in tomato juice gets rid of the stink, but the scarlet red color remains. Finding himself forced into exile, Dog Man must struggle to save the city and the very citizens who shunned him! And will the ends justify the means for Petey, who’s reluctantly pulled back into a life of crime in order to help Dog Man? And who will step forward when an all-new, never-before-seen villain unleashes an army of A.I. robots?

Check out the trailer for the highly anticipated new Dog Man adventure below. And, speaking of trailers, Universal and DreamWorks animation just announced a Dog Man movie is coming January 2025!

POWER UP with Dog Man on March 19th! Available on Book Clubs and Book Fairs.
