by Kashelle Gourley (Author), Skylar Hogan (Illustrator)

The dog days are over when our pup, Bumble, breaks free from his home to become an independent, Lone Wolf!

Humans don't realize the stresses of pet life.
Working hard to meet every command.
Trying to be a good boy, the best boy.
It's exhausting . . . humiliating, even!

"a read-aloud story fun for all." -Shelf Awareness

"younger [readers] will certainly be reminded of their own gleeful temporary breaks for freedom." -Booklist, STARRED REVIEW

"Simpatico collaborators Gourley and Hogan (Poe and Lars) match deadpan, world-weary narration with images of finely tuned comic misery." -Publishers Weekly

Sick of the pressures of pet life (the costumes, the treat-withholding, and the dreaded cone of shame), one dog escapes to fulfill his true Lone Wolf destiny. But then he sees his owner (um, ex-owner) with a new dog and feels unexpectedly jealous. All he wanted was a little space to poop in peace, not for his ex-owner to forget him entirely! Is it too late to go back, or is he stuck in the doghouse forever?

Find out in this hilarious picture book by the author/illustrator team that brought you Poe and Lars!

Author Biography

Kashelle Gourley distinctly remembers discovering the magic of books as a little girl in a Northern California library. It opened up another level of imagination, joy, and wonder that she hopes to share with others through her own writing. After moving from coast to coast and overseas to Paris, you can now find her adventuring with her husband and three children out in the great Midwest.

Skylar Hogan is an illustrator and storyteller who also works on animation projects and card illustration, including a popular holiday card for Papyrus/Target. He lives in Nebraska.
