When non-binary middle schooler Frankie Bryant saved a dog from a couple of bullies, they had no idea it would change their life. They were offered a chance to become The Dog Knight, the protector of the sacred pact between humans and dogs.

Now they have the ability to hear and understand dogs, to see the invisible forces threatening the world that only dogs can see, and the assistance of The Pawtheon, a council of super dogs, representing the best of all values dogs hold most dear.

But before Frankie can take the job officially, they must complete a series of trials to show that they have these traits dogs value: Loyalty, Kindness, Honestly, Justice, Stubbornness, and an impeccable sense of smell.  But the forces of chaos want Frankie to fail, so it won't be easy! But it will be fun and entertaining for all ages from middle grades on up!

Check out what other comics creators had to say about The Dog Knight: "A delightful story of fate-of-the-world friendship and adventure, filled with a ton of heart... and tails too." -- Unbeatable Squirrel Girl author Ryan North @ryannorth

"The Dog Knight is a classic hero's journey with a unique, relatable hero wearing a very silly hat. I mean helm. And a lot of very charming dogs. I really like it, and I am saying that as an avowed cat person." - Dana Simpson, Phoebe and her Unicorn

"A well crafted story about the struggles of children who identify as nonbinary. The Dog Knight shows us that when we are true to ourselves and stand up for what’s right, everybody wins; A powerful lesson in leading by example, illustrated in spectacular fashion." --Andrew Aydin, coauthor of MARCH and RUN

We know this book is undoubtedly going to get push back in the current political climate, so if this is something you want to read, we really encourage you to pre-order the book, share this post, and tell all your friends, family, librarians, book sellers, comic book sellers, followers, and even random strangers. 

We’re so excited to share this with you!
