Lastly, I see you seem to prefer Fiction over non-fiction. Have you considered splitting your list into two or more groups? True Story Vs. Non-fiction. A “true story” is technically non-fiction, but I’ve separated “true stories” to be more of memoir style novels, whereas “non-fiction” is reserved for more training or scientific/informative books.

Dav Pilkey's wildly popular 'Dog Man' Series appeals to readers of all ages and explores universally positive themes, including empathy, kindness, persistence, and the importance of being true to one's self. This new series may use conventional spelling, but it is still full of all the same humor and fun of George and Harold's previous graphic novels! Dog Man is played by the following: Brian Owen (Broadway), Michael Doliner and Brandon Butorovich (Tour) in the musical.Dog Man also makes an appearance in Frogzilla from Cat Kid Comic Club: Collaborations along with Chief. NR = Not Ranked (this could be a book that wasn’t previously on the Top 100 or a book that has moved out of the Top 100)

As noted, human emotions and thoughts are not attributed to Niki. She is not a heroine, just a dog. But this reader came away with a renewed sense of the infinite value of these living and sentient creatures, and more convinced than ever that the word “dog” should never be accompanied by the modifier “just.” The play opened in London in April 1946 [4] and the novel was published in 1948, although many critics commented that the novel felt similar to a play. [5] [6] He's part dog, part man, and ALL HERO! Sometimes he dresses up as a superhero named "The Bark Knight," although he has no superpowers. Personality Say Goodbye for Now. As of writing this, Catherine Ryan Hyde’s latest book is not yet out. It looks like it will be phenomenal, but time will tell. The Philosopher and the Wolf. It kind of breaks my heart to not have this book on this, because it’s my absolute favorite. Not enough people have heard of it unfortunately.

George and Harold have created a new breed of justice. When Greg the police dog and his cop companion are injured on the job, a life-saving surgery changes the course of history, and Dog Man is born. With the head of a dog and the body of a human, this heroic hound digs into deception, claws after crooks, rolls over robbers, and scampers after squirrels. Will he be able to resist the call of the wild to answer the call of duty? I’ve talked about my favorite books before, but never my favorite dog books. This is going to be tough, but I’ll give it a shot. But then the butler pointed out that they could work together, so Petey placed a bomb near Officer Knight and Greg to get rid of them, and yelled "HELP! THERE'S A BOMB!" to get their attention, before running away. Then Officer Knight and Greg arrive at the scene, and they tried to stop the bomb by cutting a wire. Officer Knight tried asking Greg what wire he should cut, but Greg answered incorrectly since he was colorblind, causing the bomb to explode. Then Officer Knight and Greg were rushed to the hospital, but it was too late for them. The doctors came in and revealed that Greg's body was dying and Officer Knight's head was dying.

For the 2nd year in a row I have not removed books that fell out of the Top 100. They simply remain on the list with a rank of “NR” below the new Top 100. Zuzu: Dog Man once sniffed her butt, annoying her. They are still friends anyway and now help each other. I am not sure if you should include books primarily about wolves. If so, maybe change the title from best dog books, to best books on dogs and wolves. A Wolf Called Romeo was a great book, and although there was a dog or two mentioned, it is primarily a wolf book. When Dog Man found his hideout, Petey was waiting for him with a hose, and started trying to spray him with it. Dog Man dug a hole to try to escape from him, but Petey chased him. Dog Man dug under the zoo, and came up in the skunk cage. The skunks sprayed him, and Dog Man ran away. Petey ran away as well, disgusted by Dog Man's smell, but then Petey got caught in a cop's net upon coming out of the hole and got sent to jail. Then, Dog Man took a bath and became clean for the first time. He used to love chasing balls, but after his therapy session with Li'l Petey and 80-HD in Dog Man: For Whom the Ball Rolls he became scared of them.Recently, he's been a secondary character, as the series shifted to focus on Petey and his son & his journey to become a better person. We also saw a change at the top of the list for the first time in 3 years. One of my personal favorites, Where The Red Fern Grows, overtook the top spot! Well deserved. In 1949 it was adapted into the British film Obsession directed by Edward Dmytryk and starring Robert Newton, Sally Gray and Naunton Wayne. Coppel himself wrote the screenplay.
