Contains 7 stories
The Hero
8 pp · humor; children

Dennis boasts that his dog Ruff is smarter than any other dog around—smart enough to rescue people and fetch help, just like the famous Wonder Dog. To prove it, Dennis and a friend climb a tree and pretend to be stuck, calling for Ruff to go get aid. When their plan backfires in hilariously unexpected ways, Ruff ends up causing quite the commotion in the neighborhood, though not quite how Dennis intended. In the end, Dennis discovers that sometimes being right and being lucky aren't quite the same thing.

The Wet Pet
5 pp · humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals

When Dennis's dog Ruff bolts from bathtime, he goes on an accidental rampage through a car wash, a water department truck, and a garden supply store—leaving a trail of chaos and confusion wherever he goes. By the time his frantic owners finally track him down, Ruff has already had more than enough water for one day, and the real reason behind all the fuss becomes hilariously clear. A perfect slice of 1960s funny-animal mayhem that proves some dogs and soap are a combination destined for comedy.

Flea for Your Life!
6 pp · humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals

When Dennis tries to treat Ruff's flea problem, the dog wanders off in his sleep—right into the path of a marauding brigade of anthropomorphic fleas with big appetites and even bigger plans. What follows is a wild chase full of slapstick chaos that ends with a soaking-wet Ruff learning a lesson about the perils of scratching.

Nobody's Tool
2 pp · humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals

When a man discovers his dog Ruff has a talent for digging, he hatches a scheme to put the eager pup to work—until Ruff's enthusiasm starts causing problems in places the man never intended. A lighthearted tale of how even the best-laid plans can go hilariously sideways when you're dealing with a dog who's eager to please.

It's a Ruff Life
6 pp · humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals

When Ruff buries a bone in the wrong place and wreaks havoc on the neighborhood—wrecking roads and causing chaos at a swimming pool construction site—Dennis realizes his mischievous pal may have wandered farther from home than expected. After the adults chase him away, Dennis and his friend discover just how impressive Ruff's digging abilities truly are, leaving them amazed at their dog's unexpected strength and determination.

Ruff, the Beachcomber
5 pp · humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals

When Dennis brings his dog Ruff to the beach for a day of fun, a "no dogs allowed loose" rule puts a damper on their plans—but Ruff has other ideas about following the rules. What starts as an escape becomes a hilarious chain reaction of chaos as Ruff barrels through sunbathers, sandcastles, and picnic lunches, leaving a trail of bewildered beachgoers in his wake. By the time Dennis and his dad track down their mischievous pup, they're left wondering if Ruff will ever want to set paw on that beach again.
