Good Boy

By Andy Hirsch

"Hilarious and heartfelt." --Megan Wagner Lloyd, author of Allergic

Good Boy is a graphic novel about a boy named Charlie and his rescue dog, Ralph. Together, they take on agility course training--but do they have what it takes to compete?

Charlie's life is a series of obstacles, not least of which is an uncontrollable urge to barf when his anxiety overwhelms him. Ralph is an unpredictable rescue dog with more energy than manners. The two make an unlikely pair but are the best of friends.

When Ralph causes a scene by following his boy to school, it's suggested the two join a dog agility training group. Ralph is a natural--zipping in, around, and over obstacles at lightning speed. Agility training is a fun way for the pair to bond, but when Charlie even considers joining the other handlers at the big contest, his stomach begins to turn. Can the duo take a leap and cross the finish line?
