Dogmatix and his crew of indomitable animals -- Gluttonix and Stamina the dogs, Asmatix and Nocturnix the owls, and Bantera the cat -- return to continue resisting the Roman invaders. And these animals won't let sleeping dogs lie! General Labienus erects a huge new statue in Lutetia. But when Nocturnix the druid creates a new potion -- to disastrous effect -- Dogmatix may have to team up with the Romans to save the day. Plus: Stamina may have found her master, Clovogarlix. And he wants to play fetch and hide and go seek! But is Clovogarlix a dog lover, or is there more to these games?
