PUGMIRE (Preview) In Eddy Webb's family-friendly fantasy adventure, dogs have inherited the world untold centuries after the Ages of Man. Some have learned to use the leftover technology, but they believe it to be magic handed to them by their lost gods. Others seek to create an ideal civilization, using a Code of Man compiled from ancient, fragmentary lore. The world is dangerous and mysterious, but good dogs will persevere.
