Ruffy is a lonely little dog who lives by the seaside and sustains himself with scraps from the rubbish bins along the beach car parks. One morning when he decides to beat the heat and take a dip in the ocean, he hears a voice across the water calling for help. He barks as much as he can to try and get people to see the little boy in trouble but nobody takes any notice. The crashing waves are too loud and everyone is playing games and laughing! Find out what happens next! Will Ruffy end up alone again by the rubbish bins, or will he get a new home and a warm kennel? Join Ruffy to find out about learning to swim.
