Dog Man Unleashed[]

However, Chief denies his forgetfulness and scolds the two officers. However, he immediately asks who got him the medicine just seconds later, causing the two officials to jump backwards in exhaustion.
A Tale of Two Kitties[]
In the third book, the female of the officers, Maude, is shown talking with Chief about how sending Dog Man to protect scientists while they study the dead brain of Flippy the Fish is a bad idea due to how one of Dog Man's bad habits was rolling around in dead fish, which Chief denies as he falls down with his chair due to the fact that Dog Man bit a chair leg earlier.
Later in the book, Maude and the male officer are seen briefly bugging Dog Man after he hid behind a plant in embarrassment due to the fact he lost the dead body of Flippy.
Dog Man and Cat Kid[]
In the fourth book, the officials are shown teasing Dog Man for hiding behind the same plant from the former book due to how he was banned from the Gassy Behemoth Studios movie studio. However, they stop and apologize after Chief scolds them and tells them everyone has a bad day sometimes.
Brawl of the Wild[]
In the sixth book, the rude officials are seen showing a television audience about Frank's Bank being robbed the previous night by, who the presume to be, Dog Man, even though it was just a gang of anthropomorphic animals in disguise. Because of this, they arrest Dog Man and walk away to the courtroom, despite everyone else saying that it couldn't have been Dog Man.
Outside the courtroom, the rude officials show their first act of cruelty when they say that Dog Man didn't belong and that he was a misfit. They say that he was too much of a dog, and not enough of a man, and run away laughing hysterically.
Fetch-22[]
In the eighth book, the male officer is shown with another female officer, Milly, as they arrest the Fair Fairy and Grampa.
Grime and Punishment[]
In the ninth book, the officials are seen inside the city hall, where they attend Chief's award ceremony for being the best chief in town, even though he is the only chief in town.
Later, when Dog Man accidentally destroyed the city hall and the mayor's outfit, causing him to get fired, the two rude officials to show Dog Man that he didn't deserve to be a police officer and were glad that he was fired, especially since the rest of the officers were crying due to Dog Man's firing.
Mothering Heights[]
In the tenth book, the rude officials are seen teasing on a rehired Dog Man due to a dog cone he had to wear. They tease him a lot, saying that he should hide behind the plant like he always did and calling him 'Cone Head' multiple times. However, they quickly pee their pants and run to hide behind the plant after Dog Man presses a button on his dog cone, turning it into a gigantic super suit.
The Scarlet Shedder[]
The male officer is rarely seen during the book, only appearing twice. Once when he was attending Chief and Nurse Genie S. Lady's wedding, and toward the end of the book arresting Dr. Scum.
However, Maude is not forgotten in the story. In fact, she is one of the two secondary antagonists, along with the Dog Man A.I. Buddy.
After attending Chief and Nurse Lady's wedding along with the rest of the policemen and women, she collects the power of temporary chief while the wedded Chief and Nurse Lady are out on their honeymoon. Once collecting the power, she immediately goes to find Dog Man, who was distracted chasing a skunk that ended up spraying him, and runs directly into him, causing her to collect the skunk stench. Ironically, the skunk comes and sprays her, angering her.
Now stinking, Maude chases Dog Man up to the newly refurbished city hall while running over the judge officiating the wedding, causing him to run into the hall, trip on a sign, fall down some stairs, and land on a support pillar, causing the entire building to collapse.
After Maude and the judge argue, they end up settling over their differences and start blaming Dog Man for the damages. However, Dog Man runs away with Li'l Petey, 80-HD, and Molly to his residence. While stating that the judge and Maude will get Dog Man, they get sprayed by the skunk again. However, the two corrupt officials decide to team up against Dog Man and later Chief in order to be unstoppable.
Later during the day, Maude and the judge ring the non-existent doorbell to Dog Man's house and capture him with a butterfly net once he gets outside. As 80-HD grabs their superhero costumes to save the day, the judge steals them and informs the others that their crime fighting days were over.
In the courtroom the next morning, the judge informs Dog Man that he was charged for moral turpitude, to which the public agree, despite the fact that they don't know what the word 'turpitude' is. After Dog Man 'mocks them with silence', the judge sentences him to infinity in jail. As a reformed Petey the Cat states that they couldn't do that, Maude reveals once Chief got back, she and the judge would sentence Chief for turpitudishness and have him join Dog Man in jail.
Later in the afternoon, Maude and the judge are seen explaining their evil plot to rule the world with their power after Chief is arrested, before laughing evilly.
As dawn approaches, Maude and the judge are seen along with other citizens creating their own A.I. Buddies to make them do all of the unlawful work as they go on social media and watch cat videos.
Throughout the rest of the day as nighttime has approached, Chief finally returns from his two-day long honeymoon. However, as Maude and the judge were on their phones the entire day after making A.I. Buddies, they don't seem to notice and respond with simple "meh"'s when Chief reclaims his power as chief of police.
