Paw Prints of Thieves is one of four Wishbone episodes released by HIT entertainment (as of December 2007). (The other three are: Hot Diggety Dawg, The Hunchdog of Notre Dame, and The Impawssible Dream.)

Paw Prints of Thieves tells a watered-down story of The Adventures of Robin Hood, in which Wishbone plays the character of Robin Hood. For the parallel story in Oakwood, Joe is faced with the dilemma of helping Ellie (the lunch lady) take food to the food bank, even though it is against Mr. Bison's (the school food director's) policy.

In short, the theme of the episode is - "Is it ever right to break bad rules for a good cause, even if it means you might get in trouble?"

Wishbone is a jack russell who imagines himself as characters in different works of literature. In this story, he imagines himself as Robin Hood. This is a great series for children, because it teaches them about literature. It is also a great series for anyone who loves animals. This is one of my favorites, and I definitely think it's worth buying.

This is the classic story of Robin Hood told wishbone style. Wishbone is a dog who sees himself as the main character in a good number of classic stories. Stories such as: Frankenstein, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Three Musketeers, Oliver Twist and many others. This show delighted and enlightened me as a kid. What a great way to introduce kids to classic literature! They just don't make shows like this anymore. This is a show that both kids and parents can enjoy. I'm a fan, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of Wishbone. I'm surprised that not many episodes have made it to DVD. I would like to see more Wishbone episodes on DVD. The only ones that I've seen so far are: Paw Prints of Thieves, Hot Diggity Dog and The Impawsible dream. What about Homer Sweet Homer, Hercules Unleashed, Frankenbone (Frankenstein), Mixed Breeds (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), Slobbery Hound, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, etc? There are so many great episodes out there, and I know I'm not the only fan. Hopefully we'll see more Wishbone DVDs in the future.

This is a great video series for children who are also interested in reading or who would like to explore books suggested by Wishbone. A fantastic gift also.

All children love this series of cute little dog adventures. We only wish they made more adventures for us to view and collect.

Ok, here's the story. This. This is mother^%&#ing wishbone. He doesn't care about your rules. He doesn't care who you are. Wishbone is going to do what he wants, when he wants, wherever he wants and you can't stop him, got it? He's been fighting the power since 1995 and he's not stopping now. You want Robin Hood? He's got it. You want dogs dressed up in Robin Hood outfits with a bow that he can never actually use? Look no further. If you want to see a Jack Russell Terrier wrestling with serious moral issues and finding his identity in the end, then I have the story for you. It's Wishbone. And you can run and tell THAT.

At age five i loved this show and i still do. It is funny and helpful if you are learning this in school. GREAT SHOW FOR KIDS!

I like the series for the Jack Russells' performances. This is one of the better ones, decent Robin Hood story, too.
