A scruffy puppy is born in the woods of West Virginia and from the start of opening his eyes, he wants to go on amazing adventures. "Adventures of a Scruffy Puppy" follows the tale of a puppy that loves to make new friends, including with owls, fish, and people and experience new and wonderful things. But this puppy is also in search of a fur-ever friend who could join him on all of his adventures and, most importantly, give him a name.
