An adorable graphic novel series about best friends, cute dogs, and all the fun (and trouble) that comes with them. This funny and heartwarming series is the Baby-Sitters Club for pets, and perfect for readers aged 8+.

The girls of PAWS have a bone to pick with a group of rival (BOY! Ugh.) dog walkers...

It's been seven whole dog years of PAWS (or just one if you're a human!), and the girls' business is at an all-time high! But after a run-in with Gabby's arch-nemesis, Leo, things take a turn—and Leo leaves the girls with a message: "You're not the only one who can walk dogs..."

Sure enough, it's not long before the PAWS girls notice flyers advertising a new dog walking business, SCAMPS—and Leo is behind it! And when Gabby and Mindy take some not-so-righteous revenge on the boys, what was a little healthy competition turns into an all-out turf war...

As the battle between the two groups escalates, with neither side playing fair, the girls are forced to consider... just who is the real bad guy here...?
