![]() ![]() Scruffity is overwhelmed by all the new sights and smells that the countryside offers, chasing the SkySingers and trying to teach Manpup the ways of the dog – to follow your snout, howl to heal and the perfect way to throw a ball. Scruffity soon comes to adore his Manpup and one night the two take their chance for freedom and escape to search for a better way of life. The only light in Scruffity’s life is GrowlMan’s stepson who is a reluctant participant in the puppy business, caring for the dogs as best he can and sneaking Scruffity out for playtime in the fields. Even the spinning tricks taught to him by FatRat prove ineffective in catching the eye of potential adoptees and risk a permanent fate in the dreaded Dead-Dog Bin. ![]() As one by one they are adopted or else befall a harsh fate at the hands of the awful GrowlMan, Scruffity finds himself alone and unloved. Separated from his mother shortly after birth, he has only his litter mates for comfort. He is born in a cage with a cold concrete floor, in a cruel puppy farm. Scruffity the dog has a harsh start in life. To see the latest price or order, click on the book cover image.
