Book Synopsis
Joey Mitchell had always wanted a dog, and on his tenth birthday, his wish finally came true. His parents surprised him with the best birthday gift ever—a puppy!
MacDoodle, an adorable Labradoodle, quickly became Joey’s best friend. But when Mac mysteriously disappears, Joey fears he may never see his beloved pup again. Little does he know, Mac is having the adventure of a lifetime in the magical Land of the Ruff-n-Tuff, where he meets an unforgettable pack of sports-loving pups who believe he may be the True Guardian of the Magical Little Red Ruff-n-Tuff Ball. Under the watchful eye of tough Coach Spike, Mac trains alongside Reggie Doggie, Surfin’ Sam, Madd Dogg, Muffy, Tike-n-Tina-n-Tiny, and the fabulous Poodle twins Fluff-n-Feef. Through hilarious mishaps, unlikely friendships, and plenty of determination, Mac discovers that being a true Ruff-n-Tuff Sports Pup isn’t about being the biggest, fastest, or strongest—it’s about never giving up.
After a mysterious encounter with the otherworldly Mar-dogs reveals Mac’s extraordinary destiny, he must make the most important journey of all—back home to Joey. Reunited at last, Joey soon discovers that his once-scrawny little pup has returned remarkably different. And when a carefree summer adventure at Pottersville Lake suddenly turns dangerous, Mac gets the chance to prove what he has learned and show everyone what it really means to be a hero. Filled with humor, heart, sports, friendship, and a little Ruff-n-Tuff magic, Ruff-n-Tuff Sports Pups is an adventure about believing in yourself, finding your way home, and discovering the champion that’s been inside you all along.
