About this book

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.

"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

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!
