Barking Bad! Kathryn Branden

Sometimes their BITE is worse than their bark....so don't step on their paws! Such is the re-occurring theme throughout this edgy cartoon saga of a modern day canine Mafia family, their friends and associates. This story explores the underworld activities of the Canine Cartel in New Jersey and their ongoing struggles dealing with adversaries and the authorities. BROCK WURST, a criminal, older Dachshund and Top Dog of the New Jersey Canine Cartel gets into a turf war with MR. LABATZKI, a sinister Rottweiler from the Canadian Canine Cartel. In this ongoing conflict, Brock's family, along with his gang members are thrust into the dynamics of an underworld lifestyle, placing them in life threatening situations. Brock's pack of "made" mongrels are constantly clawing their way out of situations they create while miss-behaving rather than obeying orders from Brock. With extortion, money laundering and treat (drug) deals going on in Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean, an endless cast of cantankerous characters enter and exit their lives. Capturing the antics and misadventures of the family members, as well as the diverse personalities of their canine and feline companions, this story takes us on a whirlwind journey of suspense, laughter and love, with surprising twists and unexpected betrayals. Although these characters may BARK BAD, they keep us smiling!
