@spudthecryptid has featured on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast (winner Best Podcast, Golden Globes Jan 2026, #10 Spotify Most Listened 2025), WeRateDogs (5.3m Instagram followers) and openlygayanimals (2m Instagram followers).

Discover guidance and clarity on life's biggest questions with this book of answers and wisdom from Spud the Cryptid, the internet's cute and chaotic canine prophet.

Seek wisdom. Receive chaos.

Have a burning question about life, love or whether celery is friend or foe? Seek the ancientโ€”and slightly unhingedโ€”wisdom of Spud the Cryptid, the internet's most peculiar oracle.

Simply hold The Dog Oracle in your hands, focus your mind, ask your question aloud and open to a random page. There you'll find Spudโ€”philosopher, sage and unapologetic weirdoโ€”ready to bless you with cryptic canine insight. Perhaps she's gazing into the void. Maybe she's eating grass. Either way, her message is (probably) clear.

Packed with baffling pearls of wisdom and the chaotic charm that has made Spud a cult favourite online, The Dog Oracle is here to help you answer life's toughest questions and celebrate this most mysterious prophet. It's the perfect book for anyone who has ever looked into a dog's eyes and thought, "What do they know that I don't?"

Approach with an open mindโ€”and maybe a treat.

About the Author

Maybell Eequay is an Minnesota-based artist who works in many different mediums. Born and raised in the breathtaking St. Croix River Valley, Maybell draws a lot of inspiration from her childhood homelife as well as her love of vintage children's books and knickknacks. Growing up in a creative household and the daughter of two artists, Maybell has been making art since she was old enough to hold a pen. Today, she enjoys making art that has a vaguely nostalgic feel paired with tender messages and light humour.
