What happens when a crew of adventurous puppies crash-lands on Earth?

Clyde and his fellow puppy crew suddenly find themselves far from home and in need of help. Fortunately, a loving farm family welcomes the stranded pups and gives them a safe place to call home.

As the crew’s natural-born leader, Clyde watches over his friends and bravely guides them through each new challenge. Together, the lovable puppies discover that courage is not about never being afraid—it is about helping one another, facing the unknown, and finding family in unexpected places.

Filled with bright, colorful illustrations, lovable characters, gentle humor, and exciting adventures, the Commander Clyde series encourages children to be courageous, care for others, and appreciate the people—and puppies—who make a family.

Perfect for children ages 3–8, family read-aloud time, preschool and early elementary classrooms, and young readers who love puppies, space adventures, farm life, and heartwarming stories.

Ozzy Meets the Big Dogs

Released September 18, 2026

Big dogs. Bigger barks. And one farm emergency that will take every pup—large and small—to solve!

Ozzy arrives at the farmhouse ready for adventure, but the enormous dogs who live there seem a little intimidating. With his new friend Millie beside him and Commander Clyde leading the way, Ozzy soon discovers that Wesson, Smitty, and Jack may be big and loud—but each has a special talent and a kind heart.

When the chicken-coop gate swings open and the flock scatters across the farm, the dogs leap into action. But one frightened chick is stranded high in a tree, beyond even the biggest dog’s reach. Can Ozzy and Millie find the courage to attempt a daring tractor-bucket rescue? And can Commander Clyde turn an old farm tractor into the perfect rescue vehicle?

Filled with humor, heart, teamwork, and tail-wagging adventure, this charming story reminds young readers that courage isn’t about being the biggest or the loudest. Sometimes the smallest friends have exactly what it takes to save the day.
