Rejected by his human family while they enjoy a picnic meal, Stanley wanders away and forges an alliance with his hungry dog friends. Their hunt for food leads them to a ham sandwich on a boat, but it is only a one-dog meal. While the dogs quarrel over the food, the boat breaks free, and they are soon surrounded by the sea. Their surprise rescue includes an enormous meal of steaks and sausages and a safe trip back home. dgw

Stanley’s thrown his party --- and braved his wild ride. Now Stanley and his pals embark on an adventure that makes sea-dogs of them all! It’s picnic time in the park --- but not for Stanley. He knows he’s not supposed to beg, but his people are always eating. And Stanley is always hungry! After he’s told to “get,” Stanley wanders down by the river where he runs into Alice, Nutsy and Gassy Jack. Soon their keen noses lead them to a delicious treat on a small boat with no people in sight. When the boat’s mooring comes loose, they float away with the current down the river, under a bridge and then out to sea! It’s a scary new world where the sky stretches in every direction and big waves crash. The dogs know that when you’re Outside, sooner or later you always come to a fence. When suddenly through the mist they see what looks like a very tall fence, they know they’ve come to the End of Outside! But what kind of fence is this?
