Dog Called Ruffy

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! So he jumps in and bravely swims against the waves to the little boy and just manages to bring him back to shore. Joeys parents are so relieved that their son didnt drown, and everybody gathers around him to keep him warm and make sure he is OK, but nobody even looks at Ruffy. Eventually he trudges back to the car park to get some food. At the same time, Joey is asking his Mum if he can keep the dog. She initially says no, but relents when she sees Joey and Ruffy looking back at each other. Then we see the elation on Joeys face as they run to each other. The final scene is at home where Joeys father is making a nice warm kennel for Ruffy, who is happily eating a big bowl of food. Joey is smiling, saved from drowning, and now with a new best friend.
