Odie Unleashed!: Garfield Lets the Dog Out

The Dog Finally Has His Day!

After years of living in Garfield’s supersized shadow, Odie breaks loose with a book of his own. Sure, the fat cat’s slobbering sidekick may be a few dog biscuits shy of a box, but he’s all heart—or is that all tongue? Odie’s fetched his favorite strips and quips for this comical canine collection, so enjoy! Just watch out for dog breath!

Here is a coloring sheet for you to share with your friends and family:
