About This Book

Reach for this book when your child is curious about why dogs act the way they do or when you are preparing for the responsibility of a new pet. While the Bad Kitty series is known for its slapstick humor, this installment serves as an engaging bridge between fiction and factual pet care. It follows Uncle Murray as he takes Puppy on a neighborhood walk that quickly turns chaotic due to misunderstandings with a police officer and a grumpy local dog. Beneath the laughs, the book explores themes of patience, community rules, and the biology behind canine behavior. It is an excellent choice for 7 to 10 year olds who enjoy the graphic novel format but are ready to absorb real world information about animal science and social etiquette in public spaces.

What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

A tense encounter with a grumpy dog and some brief trouble with a police officer.

Sensitive Topics

The book handles conflict with authority (the police officer) in a slapstick, secular manner. There is a 'mean dog' encounter that reflects realistic pet interactions without being truly traumatizing. The resolution is hopeful and humorous.
