[[File:plaguedogs_3003.jpg|frame]]
A novel by [[Richard Adams]] about two dogs named [[Big Friendly Dog|Rowf]] and [[Mister Muffykins|Snitter]]. The two narrowly escape from an animal testing lab and roam the English countryside with the help of a fox known only as "[[No Name Given|the tod]]" (a dialect word for "fox"). The facility, [[Fun with Acronyms|Animal Research, Scientific and Experimental]], attempts to reclaim the dogs and spreads a rumour that the two harbour a dangerous bioweapon to assist in their capture, hence the title. It was [[Animated Adaptation|made into an animated feature-length film]] in [[The Eighties]] a few of years after [[Richard Adams]]' other book ''[[Watership Down]]''.
Known for being [[Darker and Grittier]] than the previous work, it is set in the [[Grim Up North|gray and wintry fells]] of England's [[Oop North|Lake District]]. The animated adaptation is an [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?|infamous]] [[Tear Jerker/Animation|Tear Jerker]] as well; the original print of the film was censored for wide release and is [[Keep Circulating the Tapes|considered rare]].
