Chapters 1-5Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 1 Summary: “The Line of Duty”

Chief is having a dream where a very strong version of himself rescues Dog Man (and another cop) from an evil villain’s lair, and then he and Dog Man dance and sing together as they float through the sky. He is awakened by a phone call from the hospital; Dog Man is there—he has been hurt.

Chief rushes there in his pajamas and slippers and is put out when he learns that Dog Man merely hurt his fingers when the toilet seat fell onto them as he was drinking from the toilet bowl at work. Dog Man is wearing a cone.

Chapter 2 Summary: “The Cone of Shame”

Dog Man is upset and embarrassed about the cone. Chief is flattered that Nurse Lady says that she likes his duck slippers. Chief walks Dog Man home. Dog Man goes into the Supa Pillow Fort, where Li’l Petey and 80-HD are playing. Li’l Petey comforts Dog Man about the cone and assures him that he and 80-HD will come up with a plan. Li’l Petey and 80-HD go to the Grand Ballroom.
