Dip Call Me Dippy, an over-active Pit Bull puppy, ends up in an animal shelter because she has too much energy. In Dippy's Great Adventure, the first book in a series, Dippy uses her energy to dig a hole under the fence through which all the dogs escape. They run to an amusement park where they go on a lot of rides. Because Dippy has so much energy, she has a hard time staying seated and is a little naughty on each ride, in a cute and endearing way. When the dogs go on a boat ride, a gust of wind sweeps all the dogs except Dippy into the water. Dippy channels her energy to rescue them. The dogs are so appreciative that they honor Dippy with a parade and make her a lifeguard. On the beach, Dippy facilitates the adoption of all the dogs. After an exhilarating and exhausting visit to the playground with her new family, Dippy goes to sleep in her fur-ever home.
