Riff the Radical Surfing Pup

Riff was totally different from all the other dogs. While most puppies chased tennis balls and dug holes, Riff had two passions that made him the coolest canine around: riding the waves and playing acoustic guitar.

With his neon yellow and orange surfboard under one paw and his guitar slung over his furry shoulder, Riff was ready to rock and roll — literally.

Dawn Patrol Dreams

Every morning at sunrise, Riff would bound out of his doghouse — which looked suspiciously like a tiny recording studio — and race toward the ocean. His ears would flap in the breeze like furry flags of freedom as he barked his favorite catchphrase: "Time to catch some tasty waves and even tastier tunes, dude!"

The seagulls had learned to wake up early just to watch him perform. Some said Riff was part puppy, part legend. Most just called him the best thing to happen to the beach all summer.
