* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover of ''Uptown Poodle, Downtown Pups'' gives off the impression that Amber is a snobby rich dog who is going to look down on the protagonists, but the book actually shows that she's simply oversheltered and unsure of how a puppy acts, as she's more used to being lugged around to nail appointments and laying around the house all day in comparison to playing and exploring.

The ''All-American Pups'' series is a set of short chapter books about a group of puppies who live in the same town and have adventures together. The series was written by Susan Saunders and illustrated by Henry Cole. The series followed the perspective of various protagonists and continued for six books.
!!This series includes examples of the following tropes:
* BearsAreBadNews: Jake worries about running into a bear in the woods when they're chasing Rosie. Instead, they meet a coyote, which doesn't turn out much better.
* CatsAreMean: Puffy and Mr. Purr, the local cats, love teasing Fritz and making nasty comments to the others.
* ExpressiveEars: Fritz, the most nervous of the group, always has one ear standing up and the other slumping.
* HappilyAdopted:
** Jake begins the first book in a shelter but is soon rescued by Mr. Casey.
** Rosie, who is thrown out of a car in the first book, is adopted by John, the local deli owner, at the end.
* ImAHumanitarian: Claude Coyote doesn't seem to have a problem with the idea of eating puppies, even though they're both canines. [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt He doesn't kill any of the heroes, though.]]
* IWillFindYou: Rosie is sure that her first owner, Sam, didn't abandon her and goes back to find him, causing the others to go after her. Unfortunately, when she arrives, she finds her apartment building in the process of being knocked down.
* LovableCoward: Fritz, who freaks out at everything from the local cats to costumed humans. He's friendly and the others like him, but he tends to be thought of as the baby of the group.
* LetsGetDangerous: In ''Camp Barkalot'', Fritz puts his fear aside and uses his strength to rescue the other pups (and their new friend Amber) from drowning.
