Life Is Ruff Page #4

IS ALMOST OVER,

AND WE HAPPEN:

TO BE MISSING:

SOMETHING:

KIND OF IMPORTANT.

LIKE WHAT?

Woman:
SHH!

A DOG.

THIS ONE'S 850.

850?

DOLLARS?!

CALVIN, THESE ARE

REAL, PURE-BRED DOGS.

THEY COST REAL MONEY.

YEAH, YEAH, WE NEED ONE

WE CAN GET REAL CHEAP.

WHAT'S THIS SAY?

CENTRAL CITY:

ANIMAL SHELTER?

HELLO, THERE.

SUGAR WOOGAR.

HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

HELLO. HELLO,

LITTLE BUDDY.

CALVIN?

OH, HEY, EMILY.

SO, HOW DOES

THIS WORK?

HOW DOES:

WHAT WORK, EXACTLY?

YOU KNOW!

ME, YOU KNOW,

GETTING A DOG.

YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS.

YOU WOULDN'T EVEN

HOLD MY PUPPY:

WHEN I BROUGHT HIM IN

FOR SHOW AND TELL

IN THE THIRD GRADE.

YOU REMEMBER THAT?

YOU SAID THA ANIMALS WERE DIRTY.

YOU REMEMBER THAT?

CALVIN, I HAVE

KNOWN YOU FOR YEARS!

YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING

UNLESS THERE'S

SOMETHING IN IT FOR YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THOUGHT MAYBE:

ADOPTING A DOG:

WOULD BE:

GOOD FOR ME,

HELP ME TURN OVER

A NEW LEAF.

MAYBE I CAME TO:

THE WRONG PLACE.

CALVIN, WAIT.

UM, THERE IS ONE DOG.

WHAT IS THAT THING?

I NAMED HIM TYCHO.

AW, HE LIKES YOU.

AW, GOOD BOY, TYCHO.

OK. LOOK. OK.

ARE YOU:

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY,

100% SURE THIS IS

THE ONLY DOG AVAILABLE?

AAH!

TYCHO! NO!

GIVE ME THE SHIRT!

GIVE ME!

TYCHO, WILL YOU

LET GO OF HIS SHIRT?

PLEASE, TYCHO.

GIVE ME THE SHIRT.

OHH!

HE LOVES TO:

PLAY TUG-OF-WAR.

TAKE HIM OR LEAVE HIM.

OH, AND DO ME A FAVOR.

DON'T BUY

ANY ROYAL HOUND:

BRAND DOG FOOD:

OR ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS.

THEY SPONSOR THESE

HORRIBLE DOG SHOWS

AND I CAN'T STAND SEEING

ANIMALS EXPLOITED.

OH, YEAH, TOTALLY. HEH.

ME, NEITHER.

OK, UM...

ALL YOU NEED IS:

A SIGNATURE FROM

A PARENT OR GUARDIAN.

THAT'S NOT GOING

TO BE A PROBLEM, IS IT?

NO, UH...OF COURSE NOT.

PROMISE YOU WILL

WORK HARDER NEXT SEMESTER?

I MEAN IT THIS TIME,

CALVIN. NO SHORTCUTS.

I'LL BRING UP MY MARKS,

I PROMISE, OK?

OK. NOW DON'T FORGET.

SIGN HERE...

[YAWNING]

AND RIGHT DOWN THERE.

HERE?

OK.

THANK YOU, MOM.

[SLURPING]

[GROANING]

ECCH!

OK, OK.

SHOULD I BE WORRIED?

YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW,

ABOUT GERMS?

NO, ACTUALLY HE SHOULD.

A DOG'S MOUTH IS CLEANER

THAN A HUMAN'S.

[TYCHO DRINKING FROM TOILET]

I FIND THAT VERY HARD

TO BELIEVE.

TYCHO!

COME HERE, BOY.

COME HERE. TCH TCH!

OK, NOW THIS IS MY

HOME NUMBER.

OK.

GIVE ME A CALL:

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.

AND I'LL BE COMING BY

YOUR HOUSE IN ABOUT 10 DAYS.

REALLY?

YEAH. IT'S A STANDARD

POST-ADOPTION INTERVIEW.

JUST MAKE SURE THA YOU'RE FIT AS AN OWNER.

COOL.

COME ON, BUDDY.

COME ON.

CALVIN, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE

FOR THIS DOG NOW.

YOU DO REALIZE THAT?

HEY, NO PROBLEM.

[WOOF WOOF]

OOH!

[SIGHS]

OK, LET'S GO.

ALL RIGHT. GIDDY-UP!

NO, NO, NO.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

I'M NOT GONNA PULL YOU, OK?
