Arf quotes from Pound Puppies (1986)

Howler

(Off-screen) Puppy Power, (howling) we have another puppy for you.

Cooler

This little dude would like a home.

Nose Marie

One from which you’ll never roam.

Bright Eyes

Search the city from up above and find this pup a child to love.

(barking) I wanna live with her! (rushing off and wearing a bobble hats and a scarf) When can we leave?

Whopper

Gee! You’re not in a hurry or anything else, are you?

Cooler

We’ll pupscalate upstairs and have you adopted before you can say… Katrina Stoneheart.

Katrina

Keep your eyes peeled, Brattina. I have a feeling something big is about to happen. Aha! There’s a big dopey mutt just asking to be caught! (She realizes it is Howler shaped hot-air balloon) Oh!

Howler

(howls)

Katrina

Brattina! Do something!

Brattina

No sweat, Mommy Dearest! I’ll smell those flying furballs!

Cooler

Uh-oh. Looks like we are the catch of the day!

Brattina

(singing) I’ve got the stinkers! I’m going to stink ‘em!

Whoa!

Katrina

You mangy mutts! Put us down!!

Howler

(howls) With pleasure.

Cooler

Okay, crew! Up, pup and away!

I don’t believe it!

(coming out and barking)

It’s a puppy just like the one I dreamed about!

(barks)

What a great bark! I think I’ll call you Arf!

Cooler

Ah. Another perfectamundo adaption.

Jody, what are you doing with that dog?

Can I keep him, mom? His name’s Arf.

(barks)

We’ve discussed this before, hon. No dogs. They’re too much work.

But, mom!

(barks again)

And besides, all dogs ever do is bark.

(barks again)

See what I mean? We don’t need the extra noise around here. (She goes back in)

(sadly) I guess I’ll (barking) go back to the pound now.

Cooler

Gee, this adoption wasn’t as perfectamundo as I thought.

Huh? Hey! Come back here!

(barks)

Jody, why is this dog here? Jody? Where are you?

What? She’s gone! Is Jody in some sort of trouble?

Beat the way, Arf. I’m right behind you.

You know, Arf, Jody said you needed us. But after tonight, I think we need you even more.

Does that mean I can keep him, mom?

It sure does! But only if you promise never to pull a stunt like this again.

Oh, I promise!

(barks and then covers his mouth)

And, Arf, anything you wanna bark, it’s okay with me.

(barks again)

Cooler

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Howler

Arf! Arf! (howling)
