The Big Growl is the catastrophic earthquake that destroys the city and the land in the first book.[1] It is so powerful that it affects surrounding wild areas and settlements, and Gillian has stated that the effects of the Big Growl caused many other issues to arise.[2] All longpaws of the city seem to have fled, leaving all their belongings and dogs behind.[3] Lucky, Sweet, and Callie are the only ones who make it out of the Trap House after the Big Growl strikes.[4][5] Following the Big Growl are other smaller Growls; please refer to the article Growl for more information on individual Growls. The smaller Growls are also known as aftershocks.
The Big Growl is often used as a major marker in the timeline of the world prior to the significant event and after.[6][7]
