Canine police detective Doggedly tries to protect the three little pigs when their houses are blown down. Doggedly's top suspect, the Big Bad Wolf, seems to have an alibi. But what about Esmeralda, a rather wolfish-looking "sheep" who has taken a sudden interest in the three porkers? Doggedly prevails in this amusing variation on the fairy tale, which features appropriately comical art.
