Scruffy is a puppy you'll definitely fall in love with. In the tradition of Bambi, Scruffy is an orphan, alone and frightened. Rather than the freedom of the forest, Scruffy must wander the streets of the big city before she makes friends. First there's Joe Tibbles, a street performer who adopts her. Then when Joe suddenly dies, she meets Butch, an unwanted stray with a heart of gold. Scruffy's tale will tug at your heartstrings as you experience with her the hardships of life as a stray.
This is an absolute horror film for people who can't stand to see dogs suffer. The pet dog is abandoned and pregnant. At the 14 min. mark, the mother dog is shot and killed by hunters or sheep herders. They really seem to enjoy it and go after the puppy, too.
