Muffy is a curious and happy-go-lucky Goldendoodle puppy. She and her sister, Riff, have been adopted by a fun-loving family who adore dogs; the Gabriels. How lucky these dogs are to be taken on an amazing vacation to Florida, all of them together in a big house on wheels to visit their cousins who live on the Sarasota Bay. They drive across the country all together in the 'Great escape' and then take a breathtaking trip on Captain Skye's tourist boat. Her puppy and first mate, Starboard, shows them all the ropes, and they go to Teapot Bayou and meet all manner of lively and interesting wildlife, including Puff the dolphin and Melodee the manatee. Muffy's Florida Adventure is full of warmth and laughter and good family values too. Little Oliver the Papillion discovers he is brave; Radar the Golden Retriever discovers the courage to stand up for what he believes, and Muffy discovers that it's better not to chase bees.
