Why Dog Chases Animals is a story from the Rafiki Remembers magazine collection. It was published in the 1990s as part of The Lion King: A Nature Fun and Learn Series.

Synopsis[]

A monkey finds Dog, not knowing what he is. The monkey asks a gazelle, then an elephant, then a snake, then a wild boar, and lastly, a rhino. None of the animals know what the dog is, but a tortoise soon appears and tells the gathered creatures that it is a dog. He then yells in the dog's ears, and the dog, angered, instigates a chase. The tortoise then says that that's what a dog does: it chases animals.
