The youngest player starts the game. Spin the spinner to see the color and amount of
dog bones to steal from Mad Dog (1 blue bone, 2 yellow bones, etc).
Using the puppy tweezers, carefully reach into the dog bowl and pull out the bones
indicated on the spinner. You may need to dig around for the right color, but be careful
— move too much and you might wake him up!
Once the first player is done retrieving their bones, play then passes to the left and the
next player spins the spinner.
When Mad Dog wakes up, he will jump up and bark at you! The player who woke him
up is now out of the game. The remaining players reset the game for another round by
putting Mad Dog back into sleep mode and putting all the dog bones back in the dog
bowl. Keep playing rounds until there is just one player left.
The last player remaining after all other players have been knocked out of the game
is the winner!
1 Mad Dog, 1 Dog Bowl, 1 Pair of Puppy Tweezers, 1 Spinner, 32 Colored Bones
Place all of the bones in the dog bowl, making sure that the colors are mixed up. Keep
the puppy tweezers in reach of all players. Before play, switch the ON/OFF button,
located at the bottom of the food bowl, to ON.
To steal bones from Mad Dog without waking him up.
Align the spaces on the inside
of the front paws with the posts
on the side of the dog bowl and
snap together.
Insert batteries: Loosen the screw
on the battery compartment,
located on the underside of the
dog bowl, and remove the door.
Insert 2 “AA” size batteries, making
sure to align the + and - with the
markings in the plastic. Replace
the door and tighten the screws.
To set Mad Dog into sleep mode,
turn his head counter-clockwise
and push his body back behind
the dog bowl, so that his cheek is
resting on the bowl’s platform and
you hear a “click”.

If Mad Dog’s head does not lock when you push it down, you can reset
the game as follows:
1. Push the dog’s body into the sleeping position, with his head tilted on the
side slightly, while holding him in place.
2. Turn the power switch to the “ON” position and hold the bottom of the dog
bowl down with your other hand. While doing this, you should hear the motor
sound. Just as it starts, release the dog’s body and let him jump forward.
3. The game should now be reset. If not, repeat the last step.
4. If Mad Dog takes a while to jump up, the batteries may be weakening. To
improve, replace with new batteries.
