Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In this game, you need to transform the name of a tree into that of a dog breed (or, in one case, vice versa) by adding one word, then subtracting the letters of another and finally unscrambling the result. Mind that you always have to add letters first, the subtraction may involve letters you just added (like the ARR in the example). Be very careful with tenses and singular/plural in the definitions - you need them!
Example: To see the dog barking up the HOLLY, we send in a female Stephen King character to replace a young wizard, getting Lassie's breed.
We begin with HOLLY.
Then add CARRIE (the Stephen King character who is "sent in") for HOLLYCARRIE.
Now remove the letters of HARRY (the young wizard "to replace"). The result is OLLCIE.
Finally, unscramble the result to find out that Lassie was a COLLIE. You probably knew that anyway, however.
Now let's start:
Wildly barking up a JUNIPER to indicate a discovery, this hunting dog can be found by playing a single musical sound and driving out a month.
2. Yapping forlornly between the massive roots of an ancient POMEGRANATE, this toy dog can be found by digging levees and sending a bullfighter back to Spain.
3. Barking up the MAPLE, we see a small white dog, practicing its intense gaze until the golf course standard is gone.
4. To discover the Hungarian dog barking up an OLIVE tree, you need to do what Flash Gordon does to his opponents, until "The Raven"'s author falls out.
5. To find the rather curly dog barking up the REDWOOD, run once around the race track and avoid a tied game.

12. Whoa! What's this? A poor lost PINSCHER looking for a fruit tree it should be barking at? Okay, so let's do this one the other way round. Add a beam of light and remove some aches and you'll find the correct tree in the middle of this forest.
13. Back to normal: The exotic BALSA tree is being barked at by a similarly exotic dog - find it by using the sound of a small bell to eliminate an ill temper.
14. The dog incessantly yapping at the SPRUCE is a relative of the Husky and can be obtained by adding a pimple and making sure there will be no remedy for it.
