Don’t worry, puppies. You have more friends here than you think.
CoolerForget about Katrina, pups and puppets. We have some tail wagging good news. So listen up.
We’re gonna find each and every one of you.
Cooler
A hap-hap-happy home!
By Jove, Pal, old chap! What’s wrong with your tail? It should be wagging.
I don’t know. My tail never wags.
NMNose Marie and Cooler
It never wags?
It never wags. And no one wants to adopt the pup whose tail won’t wag.
(picking him up) Now don’t you worry your cute little old head, Pal, dear.
Cooler
Because we’re gonna fix your wagger.
And for emergencies like this, who do you call? Young Doctor Whopper!
What do you make of it, doc?
Cooler
That much we know, but why won’t it wag?
Its batteries must be worn out, but I think we’ll have to operate.
Cooler
(chuckles) You’re barking up the wrong tree, Whopper.
Pal doesn’t need a new tail. He needs a reason to wag his own tail.
Cooler
So, let’s give him a reason. Let’s cheer up this pup!
Oh, oh! Cheering up is my specialty!
Then, Bright Eyes, do your stuff!
All right! (picking Pal up on her head) Come on, Pal! Quit your dragging! It’s time to set your tail wagon. Let’s have fun. No more gloom. Welcome to the Rumpus Room.
Wow, wow! (watching the pups having fun)
This is where we pups gotta wag our tails and have a flash. So let’s blast off!
BEBright Eyes and Pal
Whee!
(laughing as her tail wags)
(laughs) Oh, cats! It’s still not wagging. Let’s face it. It’ll never wag.
Cooler
Whoa. Don’t give up so fast, my little puparoo.
We’ve got someone who can put some bounce in your behind.
Cooler
Pal, this is Howler, our expert inventor.
(howls) Uh, uh, pleased to meet you, Pal, and don’t worry about a thing. I have an invention here that’s guaranteed to defrost your frozen tail. (He shows Pal his new invention) I call it “the Wag-O-Matic.”
Gee! Do you think it’ll really work?
There’s one way to find out. Let’s hook you up and switch it on. (switching it on) Now, that’s what I call wagging.
Cooler
(Off-screen) But everything’s wagging except his tail.
Oh, no! How are we ever gonna sneak Pal and the other pups out now?
(miserably) Don’t worry about me, guys. I’m stuck here forever, remember? No one wants to adopt the pup whose tail won’t wag.
Cooler
You know, Pal, I’ve been thinking. We’ve been trying to get your tail the wag, but we’ve blown it. Because, hey, we can’t make it wag.
What Cooler is trying to say, Pal, is that the wag has to come from inside of you.
Straight from your little old heart.
Cooler
Come on. We’ll show ya in the Hall of Puppy Power.
Pal, deep within every dog’s heart is a gift known as puppy power.
It’s the magical love shared by puppies and children.
Us and Holly has puppy power.
That’s right, Pal. And now we’d like you to meet a special boy. His name is Greg.
Gee! His tail’s not wagging either.
That’s right. He’s lonesome because his best friend just moved away to another town.
Pal, do you think you might be able to cheer Greg up?
Who? Me? I-I don’t know. But-But I’d sure like to try, could I?
I’d really like to help him. I really would. I’d love to cheer up Greg, (howling) and howl.
HBHolly, Bright Eyes and Whopper
His tail’s wagging!
It’s a puppy’s dream come true! Having someone to love.
It’s the happiest day of my life!
Come on, Pal. Greg’s waiting to adopt you!
Cooler
Yo, Pound Puppies, let’s start pounding!
Be super-duper quiet, Pal. I’ll bet the Vacuum Vortex can hear a pin drop.
Cooler
All right, who dropped the pin?
Sorry! I guess my diaper drooped. Oh, how embarrassed.
Cooler
Well, undroop it. Let’s get outta here!
(laughs evilly) Oh, at last! The Vacuum Vortex is about to crush Cooler and his cronies!
Cooler
Shake a leg, crew! In fact, shake all 4 legs!
Cooler
Howdy-up-aroo!
Cooler
Yee-haw! Ride ‘em, cowdog!
Mommy Dearest, it’s that yucky icky-poo, Cooler.
Get him, you reckless hunk of junk! Suck him off!
Cooler
Hmm. This pony ride needs a minor adjustment. R-A-T spells rat, which stands for Katrina!
Oh! Oh, no! It’s gone berserk! Oh! Oh! Run for it!
Eww! Icky-yucky, stinky smelly cages!
Someday, I’ll get you for this, Cooler. Someday!
Cooler
And someday, Katrina may find the key to unlock a cage, but not someday soon! (laughs)
(cries) I’m so happy for little old Pal.
Cooler
Hey. Pull yourself together, Nose Marie.
I can’t help it. I always cry at adoptions. (She cries and blows her nose)
GGreg
Now, neither of us will ever be lonely again, Pal.
Cooler
And that’s what I call a tail with a happy ending. (laughs and wags his tail)
Cooler
Hey, check it out. That’s the correctamundo street: Grove Avenue.
It won’t be long now, Bessie honey.
Cooler
Okay, let’s move out!
Aha! There they are! Cooler and his mutt friend all get ahead. Full travel forward!
No, Brattina! Watch where you’re going!
You crud! Where did you get your driving license?
I’m only 11 years old, Mommy Dearest. I don’t have a license. In fact, I don’t even know how to drive. That’s all.
Now we know why your name is Tuffy.
Tuffy, I’m sorry for what I said “You’re pretty neat for a cat.”
TTuffy
Thanks, Whopper. Hey, you’re pretty neat too for a dog.
And-And I want you to have this for keeps.
How about if we make Tuffy an honorary Pound Puppy.
Cooler
All those in favor?
Cooler
Congrats you, cool cat.
There’s just one more little old thing Tuffy needs.
AAll
(Off-Screen) What’s that?
TTuffy
Oh, no! Not again!
Oh! Look at me! Look at me!
There weren’t any puppies in that honey, so let’s not stick around.
Yeah. She’s sticking around for everybody.
Whoa! Brattina, you ninny! Not me! Get those dogs!
(Off-screen) I’m trying, Mommy Dearest! I’m trying!
BEBright Eyes and Whopper
(yelping)
Ouch! Ouch! Brattina, what are you doing?! Pull up! Pull UP!
It’s been nice doing you, Bright Eyes!
Cooler
We may have to put a leash on you two.
What were you two little dickens doing up there?
We wanted to see the puppies arrive.
We saw the stork but we couldn’t find any bundles.
And the puppies weren’t in the honey. Oh, it’s all kind of confusing!
So, tell us again real slow. How are puppies born?
Cooler
We’ll do better than tell you. We’ll show you.
Okay, the time has come! She’s having them!
Oh! Aren’t they beautiful?
Cooler
The cutest little things I’ve ever seen.
And it came from the mama’s tummy! Oh, it’s amazing!
So that’s how puppies are born! Oh, boy! What won’t they think of next?
Well, we’re off to dig up our prized bone collection.
After all, we can’t start life at a new home without our old bones.
Cooler
And by the time you get back, we’ll have that hap-hap-happy new home picked out for you.
Are you sure you don’t mind taking care of our pups while we’re gone?
(happily) Not at all. We can’t wait to puppy-sit the little sugar plums!
You must not know our pups.
Cooler
(giggles) Playful little levels, aren’t they?
Okay, you guys! Knock it OFF!
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
Hi, dad!
What did I tell you pups about playing indoors?
Andy took my squeak toy and drooled all over it.
Did not! Mandy stole my blanket and buried it someplace.
No way! Candy tied my tail in a big old knot!
Nuh-uh, you feather face!
Your father and I want you to be on your best behaviour while we’re gone.
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
Okay, mum!
And when we return, we’ll be off to our brand new home.
LRLucy and Rusty
Bye-bye, kids!
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
Bye-bye!
Cooler
I’m gonna go sneak Rusty and Lucy past Katrina. be back in a flasharoo.
Cooler
Shh! Be very very quiet. (giggles) We have to make sure Catgut is nowhere to be seen.
Cooler
Remember, kids. Always put garbage in its place. (laughs)
(laughs evilly) The next time Cooler and his mangy mutts show up around here, (laughs again) they’ll be outfoxed by the greatest invention since the paid toilet, the Rover-Roper!
Eww! Creepy! How’s it work, Mommy Dearest? How’s it work?
Just hold on to this stuff doggy toy and see for yourself. The Rover-Roper can hunt down any mutt from 100 yards. Watch.
Oh! Make it stop, Mommy Dearest! Make it stop!
We’ll be back in 2 shakes of a pup’s tail, Cooler.
Cooler
We’ll take good care of your puparoos til then. See you soon.
Help, Mommy Dearest! Help!
With the Rover-Roper, Cooler and his pack are doomed! (laughs maniacally) What?!
Yap dog is licking me! Doggy drool! Doggy germs!
You won’t get away this time, Cooler!
Cooler
Going down!
I hate that dog. (She looks at Catgut and he begins to fire-breathe at him but he is holding the lid to stop it)
Cooler
So, gang, how goes the puppy-sitting biz?
WBWhopper and Bright Eyes
We quit.
All they do is fight, fight, fight.
Yeah, and after they’re done, they fight some more.
Cooler, before we get these pups adopted, we have to shake them up.
Cooler
(referring to three puppies) Yeah. Or tie them up.
If only they could work together on something. (having an idea) Like a party! We could toss a surprise party for Lucy and Rusty.
Why don’t we just toss the pups instead?
Candy, Mandy and Andy could help plan a party and learn all about teamwork.
Cooler
(kissing Nose Marie) Nose Marie, you’re a genius.
Alright, Candy, Mandy and Andy. I want you all to help me whip up a cake for the big party with your mum and dad get back. And when we’re done, I’ll let ya all lick the spoon.
(coughing) No, puppies! We’re supposed to work together. (coughing again)
Come back here with that spoon!
Yeah! We got to lick it too!
You’ll never lick this spoon!
CMCandy and Mandy
Let’s get him!
RARed Alert Pup
Red Alert! Pups on the loose! Red Alert! Pups on the loose!
Oh, no! The puppies went upstairs!
Katrina’s sure to catch them!
Cooler
Pound Puppies, let’s start pounding!
You’ll never lick this spoon! Not in a million years!
No, but we’re gonna lick you!
(gasps) What’s this? There’s a crummy dog loose in the yard!
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
(gasp)
It’s round-up time. (laughs maniacally)
(Off-screen) Katrina’s about to do in those poor little poochies!
Cooler
Oh, no she won’t! Not after I bow-wower with a little of my patented puppy love.
Rope them, Mommy Dearest! Rope them!
(laughs evilly) What?! Doggy drool!
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
Let’s get out of here!
I’ll rope that icky-poo Cooler, Mommy Dearest!
Not me, you crazy contraption! Ah! Let me go!
Quick! Take the pups back downstairs!
Cooler
(sighs) One kiss from Cooler, and any woman goes wild. (laughs)
Brattina, don’t just stand there! Untie me!
Eww! No way! A yucky puppy kissed you. Double icky-poo!
