Dogzilla (picture Book)

Dogzilla is a children's picture book created by Dav Pilkey that parodies Godzilla with a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Harcourt, Inc. published this title in 1993. “The illustrations in this book are manipulated photographic collage, heavily retouched with acrylic paint.” The photographs of the animals are of Pilkey’s own pets: Flash starring as the Big Cheese, Rabies as Professor Scarlett O’Hairy, Dwayne as the Soldier Guy, and Leia as the Monster. Dogzilla is dedicated to John “The Rapper” Wills and the book has been rated EG, meaning “Extremely Goofy.” A companion title is Dav Pilkey’s Kat Kong which spoofs King Kong.
