Hank, Rescue Shelter Associate and others in “Care of the Dog”

Hank

That's a dog?

Ah, I gather you've met Caesar Salad. He's a two-year-old mixed breed.

Peggy

Isn't he cute, Hank?

Hank

He looks ill.

I assure you, he's perfectly healthy, aside from the conditions listed on the card.

Hank

[reading the card] Anxiety, depression, sun sensitivity, afraid of potted plants???

Would you be interested in fostering Caesar for a few weeks? Just until we can find him a permanent owner?

Peggy

In other words, you're Son the dog needs a substitute teacher?

Uh, I suppose that's one way of looking at it.

Peggy

I come in, I teach him a few tricks, turn his life around, and send him off into the brave new world! This is what Peggy Hill was born to do! What do you think, Hank?

Hank

[still reading the card] Hostile towards shadows? Dear God, there's a second card!
