Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam - digital resources

Celebrating 10 years of cakes, crooks and canine capers!

Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam are two hapless robber dogs who can never seem to fill their swag bags. But when they decide on a career change and open up a café, they realize that, although crime doesn’t pay, cupcakes certainly do! Together, they now solve mysteries, sniff out crime and make the best treats in town!

In their new adventure, Train Trouble, our doggy duo board the Pawrient Express to solve a baffling series of robberies. Could an old nemesis be back? Cat burglar anyone!

Download the digital pack containing colouring sheets, a recipe and more. It’s the ‘paw-fect’ way to host your own Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam celebration event.
