Ribsy is often an important character in the Henry Huggins books. All he wants is to have Ribsy back home safe and sound. For much of the time all he wants is to be back home with his boy. And so begins a long adventure during which Ribsy become the “cleanest dog in America.” He also causes a scene at a football match, he becomes a class mascot, and he talks on the telephone. Not only that but Henry took his collar off that very morning and now no one will know who Ribsy belongs to. He has no idea where the Huggins’ car is. Ribsy wanders around for a while and then he realizes something very worrying. When he does this he ends up pushing the button that makes the window do down and out he goes into the fresh air of the parking lot. He barks and barks and finally he jumps up against the window.

She just cannot let the poor animal run after the vehicle all the way to the shopping center. Huggins is forced, however to let Ribsy into the car when he persists in following it.
