Pulling for the Plushie!

Season 1 Episode 8 | 6m 15s | CC

Ruff’s plushie is buried in a prize load of kibble! To get it back, Ruff will have to get Steve, a very unfriendly llama, to pull him and 200 pounds of kibble over one of three surfaces: sand, grass or pavement. But which surface will get Ruff to the finish line the fastest?
