Discover a new young graphic novel series full of humour and heart about a lovable dog, her favourite human, and their pawsome pack in this unforgettable friendship story perfect for fans of Pawcasso and Animal Rescue Friends.

Thunder the dog likes to take naps by the sunny window, sniff around for hidden treats, play fetch, and get cuddles from her favourite human, Sage.

Though Thunder wants to be good for Sage, she's having a ruff time stopping herself from doing things she knows are wrongβ€”like barking, digging, and chasing suspicious furballs around the yard. She's shocked when her inner Wolf appears one day and reveals the truth behind these irresistible impulses. It's all because dogs are really wolves! (That is, they're descended from them.) The big question is: Will Thunder choose to be a loyal pet to Sage, or embrace the wild animal within?

For fans of Paws and Katie the Catsitter, and anyone who has ever pondered the secret life of their cherished four-legged sidekick, meet Thunder and Sageβ€”and get ready to feel ALL THE WAGS!

Includes nonfiction backmatter for young readers to learn more about their favourite furry friends.
