God. I love Dav Pilkey. I think he has single-handedly gotten a generation of reluctant readers engaged in books. Captain Underpants is hilarious but Dog Man is even better! Pilkey knows he has a following and that lots of kids are obsessed with Dog Man and he uses his platform to promote really great messages and themes. The theme of this book is “Do Good.” I just love that! It’s even more awesome because it doesn’t come across in a preachy way. Grampa's pure-hearted cellmate in Cat Jail. Sometimes he moonlights as a superhero named Commander Cupcake.

Dog Man and Li'l Petey are not looking at them in the original cover, but changed at the last minute. What do you get from sewing the head of a smart dog onto the body of a tough police officer? A new superhero from the incorrigible creator of Captain Underpants. Dog Man has a problem with distractions -- like balls. His Supa Buddies do some behavioral therapy just before Dr. Scum (remember him from Book 1?) creates an army of Burgle Balls. Will they take over the city while Dog Man hides? Not if Lil' Petey has anything to say about it. Meanwhile, Petey gets a pardon and takes Lil' Petey to live with him. When Lil' Petey finds out he has a grandpa and recruits 80HD to find him. Will Grandpa be a mud guy or a stars guy? (See quote below.) This is yet another clever installment of one of my favorite graphic novel series. George and Harold know how to entertain a reader! I also love the references to classic literature. This installment of the series makes me want to go read Hemingway. How amazing is it that a children’s book can do that?!?

The magical moments where Petey and Li'l Petey are looking up at the stars is an illustrative beauty and the messages ring true about finding the beauty in the world where you can. Plus it's not enough to be good, you must also do good. Dog Man: For Whom the Ball Rolls and Fetch-22 Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to When Grampa calls Li'l Petey a "jabberjaw", it is a reference to the Hanna-Barbera character of the same name. Dog Man was created when a cop and his police dog were hurt in an accident. The cop's head was dying and the dog's body was dying, which prompted a nurse to come up with the idea to sew the dog's head onto the cop's body. They did and Dog Man was created. He immediately became an elite crime fighter, the best officer on the police force. The problem is that Dog Man has some of the mannerisms of a dog, which hampers his ability to be effective. The Cupcakemobile and Cupcake Computer are both based on the Batmobile and the Batcomputer, all spoofing Batman's belongings.

He is in Cat Jail, but the reason is unknown. In book 5 when Petey tells Li'l Petey his story, one of the cats seen protesting against the critter scouts looks a lot like Big Jim. Some of the other cats look like cats that were in Cat Jail, too. Maybe protesting got out of hand and led to the reason why he is in jail.Big Jim often will try to make Petey and Grampa laugh, though he is never funny. He appears to not be very bright, doing many things that are annoying. He is also blubbery, and will burst into tears if someone yells at him. I really love how Dav Pilkey is capable of hammering the reader over the head with his message and it still doesn't FEEL like he's doing that. I particularly liked the final point that we should do good because it's the right thing to do and not because we want credit. Petey's relationship with his father did a great job of showing that sometimes cutting out toxic family members is the right and healthy thing to do, and it's okay to not want to reconnect with someone who treated you poorly, even if that person is family.

The following versions of the books were used to create this study guide: Pilkey, Dave, Dog Man: For Whom the Ball Rolls and Dog Man: Fetch-22. Scholastic Inc. New York, New York, 2019. Kindle AZW file. Sarah Hatoff does a news story about the events that happened in Dog Man Brawl of the Wild. When Peteyfinds out that 7 dogs got a pardon while he didn't, he decides to start a revolution. Meanwhile, Chief and Dog Man are trying to chase down a robber. Dog Man obsession with balls leads to the robbers escape. Chief is then very angry, and tells Dog Man to go home. Based On The Book, Dog Man: Fetch-22, Big Jim has a secret escape which Petey And Grampa only know.The relationship between Petey and Lil' Petey continues to evolve during the second novel of this set, titled Dog Man: Fetch-22. Petey is now officially one of the good guys and embraces his role as Lil' Petey's dad. Petey's father, known throughout this guide as Grampa, is in jail as this novel opens, having stolen all the stuff from Petey's Secret Laboratory. Lil' Petey has also made an important discovery. The Supa Brain Dots, which were a main part of the story line of a previous novel of this series, actually cause “supa anger.” That explains why Flippy the fish became a villain in a previous novel. Lil' Petey's research prompts Flippy to be released from jail.
