Junior, the first dog author to make the New York Times bestseller list, tells his latest howlarious tale of going off-leash in the wilderness.​

Junior is so excited—his human family is going on vacation and this time they're taking him with them. And they're going to the most magical place in the world—THE WOODS! All the sticks you could possible want! Endless raccoons to chase! A lake to doggy-paddle in! It's a canine paradise!

But all of Junior's best plans are ruined when Iona Stricker—the most miserable, cruel, and obedience-obsessed human you could ever meet—shows up and puts an end to his fun. That is, until a fugitive from the local animal shelter sneaks into camp and everything changes.

This vacation might turn out to be fun after all!

My 8 year old son has hated reading and found it to be a chore. Ruffing It has changed all that! This is the only book my son has willingly read and definitely the only book he ever enjoyed. My son finished the book today and asked me to order the first one in the series. I highly recommend this series!! Thank Amazon for fast delivery. Our next book will arrive tomorrow.

My son struggles to read and mostly only agrees to read graphic novels. These books are a cross between graphic novels and chapter books. He loves them!
