Summary:
The shaggy dog: Wilby Daniels was just an ordinary teenager until a magical ring accidentally transforms him into a sheepdog ... whose owner is the leader of a plot to destroy the Space Program! The shaggy D.A.: Wilby's all grown up now, with a wife and a son. Unfortunately, he's still subject to furry transformation every time the inscription on an ancient scarab ring is read aloud ... not a comforting prospect when you're a candidate for District Attorney!
