Chapter 4 Summary: “The Big Robbery”

The police chief receives a call saying that the pet store has been robbed. He says that he will put his best officer on the case and calls out for Dog Man. Excited, Dog Man rushes into the room and jumps all over the Chief, who tells him that he is a “Bad doggy!” The Chief sends Dog Man to investigate the robbery. 

Inside the pet store, the two employees, Sarah, and Zuzu are on the ground, tied together back-to-back with a rope. Sarah cries out that Dog Man is their hero, but he rushes past them to lick the pet store’s bones. The male employee yells, “Hey!” and Dog Man, chagrined, hurries back and unties the group. Sarah tries to show Dog Man a photo of the robber that she took with her phone, but Dog Man is now playing with a bin of squeaky balls. When she gets his attention, Dog Man looks at the phone. A close-up image of Sarah’s phone screen shows a figure that looks like Petey the Cat with some kind of box over his head.
