Ruff and Tumble - Invasion of the Goblin Horde

This is a story about the adventures of two dogs. It gives a dog’s eye perspective to many ordinary, seemingly mundane things. Who knew that the vacuum cleaner was a vicious beast or that a pile of seaweed could be a monster from the deep?

Ruff (Rufus) is a Scottish Terrier. He is black and shaggy and gets overly excited. He is also a little nervy. He has far too much imagination for his own good and reads books which only fire him up more. He tends to get a bit confused between real life and his dreams.

Tumble (Thumbelina) is a Pembrokeshire Corgi. She describes the breed as, ‘an ancient, Welsh, wolf like breed, not overly tall, used for herding cattle, very graceful and beautiful.’ She thinks quite a lot of herself but is willing to get her paws dirty to do what is right. She acts like Ruff’s older sister.

In fact Ruff and Tumble are very much like brother and sister: they tease each other, play tricks and banter a lot, but ultimately they look out for each other.

Ruff and Tumble are dogs with jobs: as Pack Protectors they must keep invaders out of the Pack Lands. This is mainly achieved by barking a lot but they will attack with swords and battleaxes if something really horrible, like a Trolley of Trolls, turns up.

This is just what does happen, except it turns out to be a deliveryman. But that, combined with the “Goblin Horde” book he is reading, is enough to get Ruff’s imagination running wildly. Soon he is incorporating all the things that happen to him in the day and the plot from the Goblin Horde into his dreams and his dreams back into real life. His old rubber toys/the Crown Jewels have gone missing and he has to get them back or Black Graksox will invade the Pack Lands/Fantasy Realm.
