A Dog's Life is a one-act play by Pam Valentine. It follows a day in the life of four dogs in a pound when a human comes looking to adopt. The dogs are an old mongrel named Ben, a German Shepherd named Fritz, an incredibly overweight poodle named Fifi, and a hyperactive puppy named Ginger.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Ben is a genuinely gentle soul... right up until you press the [[Berserk Button]] detailed above.
