Hi,

Puppy Party Play Days!

Yes, that's us!

Hi, I'm Haley and my business partner,
Dana, is just wrangling the puppies.

The kids are so
looking forward to this.

Now, these are living,
breathing puppies, right?

Yep.

I just want to make sure I
didn't get everyone's hopes

up and they're not some
kind of robot toy or something.

No.

They are living,
breathing puppies...

...who are ready to party.

Okay, well, the kids will
be arriving in about half

an hour, so let me show
you where to get set up.

Okay, perfect.

Go, you little rascal.

This might be the best
birthday party Jenny's ever had.

Oh, well, that's
what we like to hear.

Last year, a parent gave me
a bad Yelp review because

their kid didn't like the
party princess we hired.

You got a Yelp review
for a birthday party?

Oh, yeah.

Let me tell you, parents
can be ruthless these days.

Oh, well, I think you
did an amazing job.

Thank you.

The shelter will contact you
to set up a one-on-one visit.

Feel free to contact
them anytime.

Oh, and take one of these.

It's for the dog park.

They could really
use your signature.

Bye, Georgie.

See you soon.

So, how are we doing?

Looks like we got some
interest for Georgie.

Yeah?

Way to go, Georgie!

Beat out all these puppies
and you're eight years old?

And four potential
puppy adoptions.

How about you?

On our way to a
positive Yelp review.

Hi!

Are you interested in adopting
one of our rescue dogs?

Hey, everyone!

Who wants cake and ice cream?

Aw,

I think he likes you.

I like him, too.

What's his name?

He doesn't have a name yet,
but I've been calling him Rusty.

Because of the color of his fur?

No, but that's a good guess.

Because I found him and his
brother under a rusty old truck.

Where does he live now?

Well, he lives at
the animal shelter.

Just so he can find his forever
home like all the dogs here.

I don't think you like
puppies at all, do you?

What?

I love puppies.

I love all dogs.

What's your name?

Emmy.

Oh.

Well, nice to meet you, Emmy.

I'm Haley.

I really want to get a dog, but
my dad says we can't right now.

Oh.

Sorry.

It's okay.

He promises someday we will.

But someday is always
just another day, isn't it?

How old are you, Emmy?

Eight.

Eight.

Well, listen.

Don't give up on your someday.

I find if you try hard enough,
it's just around the corner.

I hope so.

You want to go inside and get some
ice cream before all the puppies do?

Okay.

Yeah.

That's for you.

Thanks, Dad.

That was a really
fun birthday party.

Thank you.

Hey, you're not stealing a
puppy in that bag, are you?

No.

Oh.

Well, listen.

You tell your dad that there are a lot
of dogs in shelters that need a home,

and they all think you would
be a really great person.

That's right.

Daddy.

Did you have fun?

Yeah.

It was great.

Though I'm afraid she's smitten
and I heard he's a real dog.

Is that so?

Well, if I were you, I
would still check her goody

bag, because this little
gal can be a sneaky one.

I'm Ryan, Emmy's father.

Gathered that.

Haley, puppy party host.

Gathered that?

Well, nice to meet you.

Briefly.

You too.

Briefly.

Thanks, Anne.

My pleasure.

Thanks for coming, Emmy.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Nice to see you.

Bye, Emmy.

Bye.

Puppy party host.

So, I was talking to
some of the mothers, and

apparently your little
friend's dad is single.

And?

And if you're not interested,
I will gladly volunteer

to explain to him all the
benefits of a rescue dog.

Come on.

It's not the way you
were looking at him.

I was not looking at him.

And you know what?

If you were looking
closely enough, you

would see the way that
he was looking at me.

In his nicely tailored suit.

Who doesn't like a girl
with frosting on her cheeks?

A guy in a nicely tailored suit.

Anyway, we got almost 30 signatures
for the dog park campaign today.

Getting pretty close.

If we get to a thousand, the
mayor will have to listen, right?

Spread the shot.

Guys, come on.

Anne, how'd it go?

Oh, puppy mayhem as usual.

And I bet they loved
every minute of it.

Didn't you?

They did.

And they are all ready
for a good night's rest.

You can go home once
they're in their rooms.

I'll lock up.

Okay.

Bye, Hailey.

Let's go.

Let's go.

We got four adoptions.

Nice.

These puppy parties are a great
way to find families for the rescues.

Yep.

The parties are just a front.

How long until
Mia's puppy's ready?

Oh, I'm actually
gonna go meet with a

veterinarian today, so
I'll let you know tomorrow.

Hey, you know, maybe you should call
birthday mom from today and find out where

Mr. Single Dad works,
get him to sign the petition.

Every signature
helps, so... Bye.

It does!

Well, the stitches
are healing well.

No more unexpected
litters from you, sweetheart.

No one's claimed her yet?

No, I put up signs.

I bring photos of her to all my
parties, but no one's come forward.

And she's so sweet.

She has to be a house dog.

I don't know, no collar, no
microchip, no way to find the owner.

Sometimes when an owner finds out they're
pregnant, they drop them off somewhere.

Happens more often
than you'd like to think.

Well, she's lucky she
wandered into my yard.

I guess we both are.

I've really grown to
fall in love with her.

Love them all, I bet.

Yes.

Well, with their
last rounds of shots

complete, you'll be
able to find them homes.

Oh, thank you so much, Patricia.

No problem.

I will see you at the shelter.

Okay, sounds perfect.

Bye.

Thanks.

Okay, who's ready for lunch?

What would you do if
you hadn't found me?

You'd be raising these
rugrats all on your own, huh?

Oh, my goodness.

Hi, Fred.

Look, I can't get into my driveway
when you park your van like that.

Oh, it's legally parked.

There's not supposed to be any
commercial vehicles parked on this street.

Okay, well, I can go get
my keys from... Never mind.

Just park it in your own
driveway from now on, okay?

Have a nice day.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

I'll get those returns to you just as
soon as we have them finished, Dave.

As always.

Thanks for your business.

And don't forget to look over the
humanitarian grant we have announced,

lots of applications coming in.

Sure thing.

Good morning, Mr. Hennessey.

Hello, Hailey.

How are you?

Just fine, thank you.

Your dad said he did a lot of work with
my returns this year, You're a great leader

and you're responsible for
getting it done so quickly.

Yeah, I sure am.

Your father showed me your dog par-petition
earlier and I signed it right away.

Thank you so much!

I need all the
support I can get.

Thank you.

See you.

Bye.

Dad, I'm sorry I'm late.

I had to walk Mia and
the rest of the puppies.

How are they doing?

They're doing well.

Mia's healing up nicely
after being spayed and

the puppies are almost
ready for their new home.

That's great.

Oh, by the way, I just
saw this this morning.

Yet another developer trying to get
their hands on the Brian Street land.

Nobody wants
another shopping mall.

Money talks.

Puppy party play
days, this is Haley.

This is Ryan Hill.

We met at the puppy
party the other day.

Emmy's dad.

Yes, yes, I remember.

Hey listen, all the puppies
are accounted for, so if Emmy

ended up taking one home,
I had nothing to do with it.

She wasn't hiding anything in
her goody bag when we got home.

Oh, well I'd still check
under her bed if I were you.

I will.

Listen, I know this is
last minute, but Emmy

hasn't stopped talking
about those puppies.

Her birthday is this Saturday and she
was just going to have some friends over.

But now I'm wondering if I could
surprise her with a puppy party instead.

On Saturday?

Sure, let me just check
my calendar one sec.

Yeah, we can do Saturday.

Really?

That'd be great.

I've got your email
here from the website.

I could send you my information.

Okay great, well then I
look forward to seeing you.

I've seen the party.

I look forward to seeing you and
Emmy both at the party on Saturday.

Me too.

I'll see you then.

Bye.

Another booking?

Yeah, Saturday.

What's that look?

Do I have a look?

More like a smile.

What kind of smile?

I'm not quite sure.

But it's a very
particular smile.

Well listen dad, I know that Mr. Jameson
wants his taxes done by tomorrow.

So do you happen
to have that folder?

Yep.

Mr. Mayor.

How's the analysis coming, Ryan?

Almost done.

Good, good.

Cause I'm getting a lot
of pressure from Halston.

Developers are always pushy.

They don't understand the
checks and balances we have

to go through to make a
project like this happen.

Right, right.

It is important that this
does go through though.

You've got a lot of
riding on this, Ryan.

You don't see any
unexpected hurdles, do you?

No.

Well what about this
petition that's going around?

What petition?

Grassroots, local
dog owners I guess.

They want the land
turned into a dog park.

I wasn't aware of the petition.

Either way, we can't
let it gain any traction.

I want the signs sealed and delivered
before they make any more waves.

I'm on it.

Good man.

Hi.

Nice to see you again.

Yeah, nice to see you too.

Hailey!

Hi!

Hey, is it really your birthday?

Or are you just wanting
to see the puppies?

It's my birthday.

They're so cute!

Yeah?

Do you want to help me
find a place to set them up?

Sure.

Okay.

Come on, puppy.

Come on.

Hi.

Hi.

I didn't introduce
myself at the last party.

I'm Dana.

Oh, hey.

Best friend, business partner.

Well, part-time partner of this
little non-profit we have here.

I work at the shelter
where we get the dogs.

It's kind of a win-win.

That must keep you really busy.

It does.

But I still have a lot of time
because I'm not really dating anyone.

So, I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Free time.

Yeah.

Hey.

Best friend.

Business partner.

A little help?

Coming.

Okay.

Daddy,

do you see how
much they like me?

I see, sweetheart.

I see.

It means he's single.

We should ask him out.

What?

No.

No way.

I can't do that.

Why not?

Because he's a client.

And?

And?

And it would be inappropriate.

Why?

Because it just would be.

And because we're
here on official business.

Well, he was looking
right through me at you.

He was not.

Yes, he was.

Just go talk to him.

Or he crashes in
Brenzel's Burgers.

Hey.

Can I help you?

Wow.

Puppy party plates.

Yeah.

Well, you ordered
the deluxe package.

Now, if you order the super
deluxe package, we even

clean up after the puppies
when the party's over.

Oh, yeah.

Sounds expensive.

But well worth it.

Trust me.

Sold.

Amy seems to be
enjoying herself.

She is.

I'm not sure if that's
a good thing or not.

This might mean she'll
really, really want a puppy now.

Yeah.

Well, you can always call us.

Puppy party play dates.

It's the next best thing.

Without the mess.

As long as you order
the super deluxe package.

Right.

Hey, you.

So sorry I'm late.

Ah, no.

Just in time.

Hey, Amy.

Hi.

What's with all the puppies?

This is Hailey.

Puppy party play dates.

Hailey.

Kelly.

We work together.

Pleasure.

Nice to meet you.

Um, so sorry to interrupt,
but I do need to speak

with Ryan, so you don't
mind if I steal him for a sec?

No, sure.

Of course.

Uh, plane?

It works.

Yep.

Sure.

Hey, thank you so much for letting
me host your birthday party, Emmy.

Those puppies would have been
so bored all day if we weren't here.

In fact, they asked me all morning,
when are we going to go to Emmy's house?

That was the best birthday
party I think I've ever had.

Can I have another
puppy party next week?

Um, you know, I, I think it's going to
be hard to convince your dad of that,

but I did get you a very special
present for the birthday girl.

He's so cute.

I'm never going to
let him out of my sight.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Can I help put the
puppies back in the van?

Sure.

If that's all right.

Yeah, definitely.

Dana's out in the
driveway loading them up.

Ha, ha, ha.

You're welcome.

She's been asking me at
least once a week for a dog.

I think now I can expect
that conversation every day.

Yeah.

Well, if you ever decide to
adopt, I can help you with that.

I mean, I can, you know, help you find like
a dog sitter or... I know what you mean.

Rye, what do you want me to
do with this leftover veggie tray?

Toss?

Save?

What do you think?

If it's edible, I
always save it.

Save it.

Okay.

Hailey, it was
lovely to meet you.

I hope to see you again.

Nice to meet you, too.

I should go.

Of course.

Thanks again.

Sure.

Bye.

Bye.

That look.

What look?

Like you lost your puppy.

Well, all the puppies are accounted
for, so... Didn't see her coming, did you?

Ew.

Please.

You know what?

It doesn't even matter.

Because it's not like I'm
ever going to see him again.

The party's over.

Oh.

What?

I don't know.

This is the present
that I gave Emmy.

She said she loved it.

She wouldn't let
it out of her sight.

Why don't you go
drop it off to them?

I'll take me and the
puppies back to your house.

All right.

Are you sure?

Uh, cable, ice
cream, and puppies.

Yeah.

I'm sure.

Okay.

Oh, um...

Maybe you should change first.

That's a good idea.

Hi.

Sorry to stop by like this.

Boo jelly.

What's boo jelly?

I mean, stuff to eat.

It's the dog you gave her.

She thought you
lost him forever.

Oh.

Yeah.

Then I guess this is boo jelly.

I, um... I found it in the
van when I was unpacking.

How on earth did
he end up in there?

Um, I guess she just left it in there when
she was saying goodbye to the puppies.

Thank you.

It's nice of you
to bring him back.

Sure.

It's nothing.

Okay.

Uh, well, say hi to Emmy for me.

I will.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey.

Do you want to come in?

We're making cookies.

Well, trying to.

Anyway.

I'm sure Emmy would
want to say hello.

I, uh... I don't ever
want to interrupt.

You won't be.

Come on.

You can return the
boo jelly yourself.

Okay.

Emmy?

There's someone here to see you.

Hi!

You brought it!

I mean, you found it.

Sure did.

Thank you.

I won't ever leave
him in your van again.

How did you know he
was in the puppy van?

Don't.

Excuse me.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, no, Dad.

Not again.

Got milk?

I don't think there's anything
that can help wash these down.

We were baking
for my office party.

Oh, well, if it's not too late, I
happen to be a really good baker.

I could, you know, help
you start another batch.

Thanks, but I think we're
going to go with plan B.

What's plan B?

The factory.

Factory.

It's our favorite bakery.

Cookies that melt
in your mouth, right?

Want to go for a walk?

Can I get two cookies?

One.

Can Hailey come?

Do you want to come?

Or... Would you rather try
one of these guys instead?

That's a tough call.

Uh, I think I'll go with plan B.

Emmy, I think
she's pretty smart.

Are you married?

Uh, no.

Emmy?

Why don't you go
get your jacket?

Sorry about that.

She can sometimes
be a bit precocious.

No, precocious is a good thing.

It means she'll probably
get what she wants out of life.

The only rule is... You
can't eat it all in one bite.

Okay.

Wow.

Told you.

No, I mean, seriously.

I think this is the best
cookie I've ever had.

Can I have another, Daddy?

You already ate it?

We had an agreement, remember?

Okay.

Can I go check out
the toy store, then?

As long as I can see you.

You two take your time.

See you in a little bit.

What?

Nothing.

No, come on.

Tell me.

She's just watched
too many movies.

Too many old-school
Full House episodes.

I don't get it.

The dad on that show?

His daughters are
always trying to set him up.

Let's just say she likes you.

Oh, that's because
I'm a dog lady.

Or even worse, a puppy lady.

Maybe.

It's just been hard for her to
understand that's not my focus.

You know, between
my job and raising her.

Lots to juggle.

Essentially, I'm not sure
what a social life is anymore.

I know exactly what you mean.

I feel like I'm in
the same boat.

I mean, they have
the puppy party.

I work with my dad
during the week.

And then, I have
this little party.

I have the new puppies at home.

I feel like I never have
a moment to myself.

Yeah.

Anyway, you've
made an impression.

Hence the boo jelly ploy.

Wasn't left by accident.

Take it as a compliment.

She's very particular.

Okay.

I will.

Oh, you have, uh...

No, the other side.

Oh.

Awesome.

Chocolate, frosting,
ice cream, dog hair.

I can't leave my house without
something on me somewhere.

You host puppy parties.

I'm trying to end up with
at least one or the other.

Yeah.

Oh, oh, that reminds me.

I meant to bring a petition
to your house yesterday.

I'm hoping to build a dog
park at the Bryant Street Land.

The petition?

Yeah.

Wait, have you heard about it?

I have, in fact.

I was thinking that if I could get a
thousand signatures, then maybe I could

convince City Hall to build a dog
park instead of another strip mall.

You think that'll be enough?

I don't know.

I mean, I hope.

I've been working really hard.

I've called City Hall, trying to get
a meeting with anyone over there.

Especially that lughead.

I mean, I'm not a
lugheaded city planner.

Lugheaded?

Yeah.

He's just afraid that if he
doesn't give the mayor and

his cronies what they
want, then he'll lose his job.

Cronies, huh?

Yeah.

Well, anyway, maybe
you could bring it to your

office, get some people
to sign the petition.

We're really,
really, really close.

What are you guys talking about?

Dogs and puppies?

We are, actually.

Wait, for your office party?

My office party?

Yeah.

A puppy party would
be so much fun.

A puppy party?

At my office party?

Yeah.

Like I did.

We do office
parties all the time.

What's the occasion?

Our new offices.

Everyone will love it.

I don't know about that.

Besides, it's in a few days.

Oh, well, we do
last minute very well.

And besides, it's for
a really good cause.

It needs more awareness.

Awareness?

Well, that's true.

The puppies are just bait.

Our real goal is to find homes
for all of our rescue dogs.

All right.

All right!

Oop!

Oop!

Oop!

These cookies are amazing.

They are.

I see you parked it there again.

Oh!

Um...

I'm so sorry, Fred.

My business partner, she
drove the van home and I

forgot to tell her to
not park it on the street.

I saw her bringing a gaggle
of puppies into the house.

Again.

Oh.

Well, I'm fostering a
stray who had puppies.

Well, just get the
van off the street.

And don't let those
puppies onto my lawn.

Will do.

Oh, dear.

Oh.

Oh.

You're... You're home.

Yeah.

Hey.

Thanks for watching the puppies.

Anytime.

Why are you so late?

Oh, Emmy and Ryan invited me
downtown to get some cookies.

Do you tell?

Nothing to tell.

I knew it.

Knew what?

He's into you.

You're reading into this.

He invited you to dessert.

Emmy asked me for dessert.

Small details.

Okay.

You know what?

Good night.

A handsome widower
with a fantastic daughter.

He's a catch.

Let's just hope he's employed.

Well, fortunately for us, he is.

We're doing a puppy party at
his office party this Saturday.

Okay, then.

Oh, sorry about the ice cream.

I was just... I was hungry.

Okay.

Okay.

Stop.

This is it.

Are you sure?

Because... Hmm.

This is City Hall.

Hi.

So you work at City Hall?

Yep.

I'm the lug-headed city planner.

That is not fair.

Fair is exactly
what I want to be.

You deserve a chance to speak with the
mayor and explain to everyone why you feel

the dogs in our community
are in need in a big, open park.

Which you're against?

Not so much against, but I am
in favor of the retail development.

Okay, so why have me come here?

Because this is your City
Hall as much as it is mine.

And fair is fair.

All right.

Well, I have to warn you.

Puppies are very persuasive.

Advantage Haley.

Okay, so where should I set up?

Come on.

I'll show you around.

Gotcha.

Oh, there you are.

I just wanted to be sure.

Um, they are all
potty trained, right?

Yeah, I think so.

For the most part.

Which part?

Aww, I think he likes you.

You want to hold him?

No, I'm not really a dog person.

I mean, he will grow
into a dog eventually.

Oh, yes, but he
doesn't know that yet.

I suppose.

Aww, he's kind
of cute, isn't he?

Yes, he is.

Although, sometimes
cats are a better choice.

I mean, it's hard to become
a dog person if you're not yet.

You know, there are dog
people, there are cat people.

The two rarely mix.

Bad, bad mix.

Well, I think I could
be persuasive.

I don't want to be
defeated with that face.

Oh, excuse me.

She's a cat person.

Hailey, have you
met Mayor Betts?

No, but I've been hoping to.

Oh, well, I appreciate that.

So, what do you think
of our new city hall?

It's very impressive.

And the puppies love it, too.

They're really
cute, aren't they?

It's hard to say no
to puppies, right?

Especially when it comes
to a big open dog park.

Dog park?

Yeah.

Hailey's the one who
started the petition to

turn the Bryant Street
Land into a dog park.

Oh, of course.

But we have a dog
park already, don't we?

You know, there is
one, but it's really small.

And what we could really use is just a big
open space where the dogs can roam around

freely, and the Bryant Street
Land is the perfect spot for it.

Right.

Well, thank you for voicing
your opinion on that, but

tonight we are all here to
celebrate our new city hall.

So, if you'll excuse me.

You can be a bit headstrong.

It's nothing I can't handle.

I just need to do
some more digging.

Digging?

Is that what you do
in your spare time?

I'm an accountant, so I just
mean I'm digging into numbers.

That's kind of what I do best.

Accountant?

Impressive.

So says my dad.

Oh, um, dog on the loose.

I'll be right back.

No, you don't.

Stop it.

One of the puppies
found my golf clubs?

Uh, close.

Golf shoes.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to snoop.

Um, this is a really nice photo.

Emmy's mom?

Yeah.

She was a great mom.

She was really beautiful.

She was.

I heard a couple of the
moms at Emmy's birthday

party talking about
how she'd passed on.

That's how I knew.

Five years ago.

Cancer.

Emmy was just three.

Still remembers her.

That must have been really hard.

It was.

Sometimes still is.

But, Emmy and I
are a tight little team.

And you only know
what you know, right?

So, Emmy knew life with
her amazing, beautiful mom.

And now she knows
life with just me.

Well, that's a really
great way to look at life.

It's the only way
to look at life.

Life's what's right
in front of you.

It's the now.

The present.

Even if it is complicated.

Which life always is.

Okay.

And I, uh, wanted to
thank you for inviting me.

For introducing me to the mayor.

Even though I'm still hoping
for a more official meeting.

Of course.

I thought an
introduction would help.

Even though you're
against a dog park?

Even though I'm in
favor of the retail project.

Yes.

Hi there.

Thank you so much, Ryan.

Everyone is having
a really great time.

It sure looks like it.

But, thank Emmy and Haley.

They're the ones
that talked me into it.

No!

Come on.

I thought it was funny.

Not the mayor.

Especially if he was showing
off his very expensive ruck.

Mayor Best shows off
everything he has to everyone.

I wouldn't be surprised if
Ryan never speaks to me again.

And I'm never going to
consider the dog park.

It'll be fine.

At least now you know
who you need to lobby.

Yeah, okay.

I gotta go.

Talk about juggling a lot.

Look at you.

I actually consider
myself a master.

Here, let me take something.

Hi.

Hi.

You actually just caught
me finishing lunch with some

colleagues who are still
talking about the party.

The mayor, I hope?

No.

But he did appreciate the
gift card for the ruck cleaning.

Well, that's the
least I could do.

We all had a pretty
good laugh about it.

Even the mayor, eventually.

No one's ever going to take the
petition seriously now, though, are they?

I can't say for certain.

I wish I could.

I don't understand why this
city needs another strip mall.

Just like you, there's a
need for this retail space.

One of the tenants is going
to be Tot Drop, which is

affordable daycare a lot of
the people in this area can use.

There's also going to be a
music store, which has agreed

to offer free music lessons
to kids who buy instruments.

A van a-drying.

Have you researched any other vacant
lots where you could build a dog park?

There is this one place, but
we don't have the funding.

The Bryant Street land was allocated
by the city, so it was funded by the city.

Which would require
tax revenue to pay for it.

Hmm.

Are you aware that the EPA requires
that every municipality dedicate a certain

amount of protected
wetlands per square acreage?

Yes, I am.

A dog park would qualify.

You've done your research.

I have.

Check the water table.

I will.

So how is Emmy?

Perusing your website.

Any chance she gets?

Still plotting then, huh?

Always.

In fact...

You want to bring her over
to see the dog sometime?

She's been begging me.

She would go binoculars if she knew
I got to see them today without her.

Well, I'll give you
my address then.

So I'll see you...

This weekend?

Perfect.

Oh, you got it.

Yeah, it's just I'll see
you this weekend.

Alright, bye puppies.

See you later.

Yeah, bye.

Hey, out of the dirt.

You're honestly going to lobby me at this
dog park after what happened to my rug?

Came out, didn't it?

That's not the point.

It's the principle.

Besides...

I told you, we got a lot
riding on this Bryant Street.

You know, along comes puppy party
lady and suddenly you change your mind.

I haven't changed my mind.

In the end, it's up to
you and the city council.

I'm just saying she has a point.

A dog park would be
good for you too, you know.

How?

Mark, you're the mayor.

You're an elected official.

Do I need to elaborate?

Big business and
tax revenue are fine.

And again, I do think the Bryant
Street project is a good idea.

But you need to reach out to the
rest of your constituents a little more.

Like Haley, right?

Like Haley and a
lot of other people.

Hey, you're going to bat
for this dog park for a reason.

I like dogs.

You like her.

You like her.

Right?

It's a slam dunk, buddy.

Time to get back
into the dating game.

But no promises on
the dog park, okay?

Bryant Street has
to stay on track.

Take that.

Okay, you guys.

Give your mama a break.

Hey, stay.

Hi.

Hi.

Are you here to see the puppies?

My dad just on
a call in the car.

Oh, okay.

Well, the puppies
are right in there.

Also, I heard him talking
on the phone about you.

Really?

Well, what did he say?

Not sure, but he
was talking about you.

You know, you're pretty funny.

Who's that?

Oh, um... That's me.

And that was my mom.

Where's your mom now?

She's not around anymore.

She passed a few years ago.

Mine too.

I'm gonna go see some puppies.

Oh my gosh.

Hashtag cute.

Did my eight year old just
use hashtag in a sentence?

She definitely did.

Do they have names yet?

No, I decided not to name them.

But you see how they have
different colored collars?

That's how I tell them apart.

See this guy right here?

His name is Mr. Orange.

He looks like an otter
when he weighs on his back.

That's so funny.

I thought the very same thing.

Hey, what do you
think of the name Otter?

I like it a lot.

Well, Otter it is.

He is really special.

How come?

Well, he won't eat his dog food.

He refuses to.

So I've had to feed
him with a bottle.

He's so big.

That's because he's
still getting his nutrients.

But it's time this little
guy gets off the bottle.

Can I try?

Um, yeah.

Sure.

Why not?

Here you go.

Come on Otter, try it.

Hey, it looks like someone
has a new best friend.

I see what's going on already.

I think I just got cornered.

Oh yeah, you definitely did.

So should I put
him on hold for you?

I don't think I'm ready yet.

It wouldn't be
fair on any of us.

Including Otter there.

Hmm.

Well, you know, when Mia
wandered into my backyard pregnant,

I thought there was no way I
could handle that responsibility.

But turns out she rescued me
more than the other way around.

Especially after my mom passed.

Something to think about.

You should eat
his kibble right up.

But make sure you feed it
from your hand, not the bowl.

He isn't ready for that yet.

Aye aye, Captain.

We'll see you soon, Otter.

Be a good boy.

Thanks, Hailey.

Aww.

Thank you, Emmy.

This made her day.

For a week.

Well, a month, really.

I don't think I've seen her
this happy in a long time.

Dogs do that to people.

Man and girl's best friend.

I know.

She might not be
ready to commit.

To a puppy.

Maybe there's a compromise.

A compromise?

Maybe Emmy can come around once
in a while and help out with the dogs.

Or even work at
your next puppy party.

I've been looking
to give her some

responsibility and I
think this might be it.

I think that would be awesome.

I'd have to come
with her, of course.

Oh.

So I'd have to see you again?

You'd have to see me again.

I think I can handle that.

I'll call you.

I'll answer.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

You're so cute.

Come up with anything?

No, not yet.

No tax breaks that will
mean anything to the city.

Ryan seems like he
wants to help, but...

I just have to come up with something
more concrete that he can work with.

Well, even if you do, do you think he'll
still be able to bend the mayor's ear?

I don't know.

Keep digging, honey.

I'm sure you'll find something.

I'm so glad you guys
could help me today.

I really want to show
you this cool place.

So, this is it.

What do you think?

It's amazing.

Yeah.

It's my own little private
sanctuary for all the rescued dogs.

It's 10 acres.

So, the dogs love to run
outside without a leash.

And they love being in here.

Sometimes I set up obstacle
courses and things like that.

It's just amazing.

How are you able to use it?

Oh, my dad, one of his clients,
he knows the company who owns it.

And they're not using
it, so they don't mind.

Okay.

So, I'm going to ask
the obvious question.

Wouldn't this make a much better
dog park than the Bryan Street Land?

Yes, it will make the
most amazing dog park.

And I think about
that all the time.

I mean, if I had this land, I would
make it way more than a dog park.

I'd make it a sanctuary.

I mean, can you imagine?

All of those dogs that are just
sitting in cages in the shelter.

If I made this whole thing into a
sanctuary where they could live.

Then they'd have 10
acres to just roam around in.

And?

It's just the company.

They're owned by
a bigger corporation.

And so, their intention is at some
point to sell it to the highest price.

I take it you've already
made your plea with them.

Yes, I have.

About a million times.

Short of buying it for a million
dollars, the answer is a resounding no.

So, that's kind of why
I was hoping that the

Bryan Street Land would
be made into a dog park.

Because that land's owned by the city,
and we can do whatever we want with it.

That's what I was thinking.

Look, Daddy.

Your puppy's laughing at me.

Oh, I can see that.

You know, resistance is futile.

Yeah.

Oh, my goodness.

Hey, do you think that you could bring
them in the living room to their mama?

You think you can handle it?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Oh, my goodness.

How soon do you
think they'll be adopted?

Pretty soon.

Especially after the next party.

I mean, people already can
put them on hold if they want.

Yeah.

I bet they do.

Yeah.

Listen.

The only thing worse than an animal not
getting adopted is if someone brings them

home when they're not
really willing to commit.

It's just, the animals normally
get brought back to the shelter.

I don't think there's any chance of an
animal in our house being neglected.

Yeah, no, definitely not.

It's just, you know, I wouldn't
want Emily to get too attached

to Otter if the answer's still
going to be no for a while.

It'd just make
things harder on her.

Things can change.

Really?

Maybe things already have.

I just, I wouldn't want
her to get her hopes up.

It's a great thing you're doing
with the puppy party play dates.

Raising awareness and
money for shelter dogs.

It's pretty spectacular.

Thanks.

Well, you know, when you spend as much time
as I do with dogs, you know what you learn?

Is that they would just have such an
amazing time if they had a big wide open

space that they could roam
around in, like a dog park.

Uh-huh.

They don't really give
up easily, you know.

I can't imagine you would.

And I'm not really
an idealist, okay?

I understand the practicality
of what I'm asking for.

Then you also know that I have to
support what I think's best for the city.

They're not greedy developers.

They're cronies.

There would be real
benefits for a lot of people.

Yeah, I understand
your perspective.

But would you mind if I just sent you
the park renderings and then in proposal?

Absolutely.

But, to be honest, I'm not
sure it's going to do any good.

Okay, well, I have to
follow my heart on this one.

As the saying goes,
follow your heart, because

you never know
where it might lead you.

Hey there, Kel.

What's up?

Are you still going to the
retirement party tonight?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Would you mind giving me a ride?

My car's acting so funny.

Yeah, sure.

I'll call when I'm on my way.

You are the best.

Bye.

That was Kelly.

Oh, uh, yeah.

I saw that.

One of our
administrators is retiring.

Lost track of time.

And I have a babysitter coming.

Oh, and if it's helpful to
you, I could watch Emmy.

Oh.

Thanks, but I'd hate
to cancel on the sitter.

Oh, yeah.

Sure.

Of course.

Emmy.

I have to go, sweetie.

Okay.

Bye, Harry.

Oh.

Oh.

Bye.

Hi.

Hey there.

That was so much fun last night.

Thank you for bringing me.

Oh, you're welcome.

Listen, I know you're busy, but I need some
help with the Bryan Street development.

How so?

I just want to make sure
we've covered our bases.

I think I might have
stumbled upon something.

Something Haley said to me.

Haley?

The puppy lady?

Yes, that Haley.

Would you be able to
look into our legal obligation

for total city-wide
wetland requirements?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

No bee.

So, what are we doing out here?

Walk with me.

Hey, this is the land owned
by the Farley Corporation, right?

Didn't this come up on a
possible development proposal?

Yep.

Oh, I see where
you're going with this.

You're thinking shopping, uh,
condos, beautiful little strip mall, right?

Not quite.

Mini storage?

There.

Uh-oh.

Must be serious.

You called me mayor.

Sanctuary.

Sanctuary?

For whom?

They tend to walk
on all fours and bark.

Here, the dog park?

Not just a dog park.

A lot of rescue dogs
never find a new home.

And they never
leave the shelter.

This would guarantee them a place
to live until they find a new home.

You're selling me on this, why?

As you know, we have a federally
mandated wetland requirement.

Right.

I took a look at
the water tables.

This land qualifies.

It should have been designated
a long time ago, but it wasn't.

Because it's private land.

The Farley Corporation has
always had an intention to sell it.

Listen, Ryan, there's other land
that we can designate as wetland.

Mark, come on.

This takes the
pressure off Brian Street.

The city gets
what it wants there.

Haley gets what she wants here.

Okay.

Are there any
legal ramifications?

City council approval.

Your signature.

I've already spoken to a
representative at Farley Corporation.

They weren't aware.

I see you've done your homework.

I want to do it right.

One step at a time.

Here is Mr. Hennessy's
corporate.

Ready for him to
look over and sign.

That was quick.

You'd be very impressed.

Especially when he sees how
much money we're going to save him.

Hi!

Did I get you at a good
time or a bad time?

A good time.

Can you get away
for a few minutes?

I want to show you something.

Yeah, sure.

Where?

Some place that just
might make you smile.

I could have put
this in an email.

But I wanted to
show you in person.

Okay.

What does this city need more?

New retail space offering music
lessons, daycare, convenient medical, or a

community park where
people can let their dogs

run free and maybe even
a sanctuary for rescue.

Come on, is that
a trick question?

The trick is how does our
city council decide between a

non-revenue project or a
highly lucrative development?

Well...

We could go with
them all puppies.

Not bad.

But I think I found something.

Both.

What?

I don't understand.

You're the one who said it.

Our municipality is required
by law to maintain a certain

amount of designated
wetland within the city limits.

The people who own this land, they
plan on selling to a developer, right?

Houses, retail... Yeah, exactly.

Except...

This land was designated
as wetland a decade ago.

It can't be developed.

They just don't know it yet.

Okay, so what does
that mean then?

I mean...

What do you mean you
turned it into a dog sanctuary?

It means the land's worth
a lot less than they thought.

They'll want to dump it.

Do you think the city would actually
approve an animal sanctuary?

I don't see why not.

I don't know what to say.

You'll have to come up
with the funds to buy the land

and turn it into a sanctuary,
so now we have that hurdle.

But you're telling
me that it's possible.

Thank you.

You gonna get that?

Yeah.

It's just... it's
actually an alarm.

I have to go check
on the puppies.

Hey, do you want
to come with me?

I could get you a dozen
cookies from the factory.

How could a guy say no to that?

Hopefully he doesn't.

You never said anything
about grooming them.

Hey, you didn't ask for details.

Classic bait and switch.

You know what?

I will not tell Emmy that you
are moonlighting without her.

Again.

There would be no forgiveness.

So, uh, how did your
retirement party go?

Retirement party?

Oh, it was fine.

It was at McGarry's in town.

Oh.

Did Kelly get her car fixed?

I'm not sure, but
I'm guessing so.

Oh, I just assumed
you would know.

You know, you two
are close friends.

Old friends that have
become close friends.

Who have dated?

Dated?

I mean, we've gone out for dinner
a few times, but... Not like that.

She was a close friend of Liz's.

And after she died,
Kelly really helped me out.

Emotionally.

And with Emmy.

It's really remarkable
that you do this.

What, fresh puppies?

I'll rescue them.

I don't really have a choice.

Yes, you do.

But you follow your
heart, don't you?

Well, you never know
where it can lead.

I'll be right back.

All right.

I'm in trouble.

Haley, good?

So this puppy party
play date, it's your

business, you're running
it out of your home?

Oh, no, it's nothing like that.

It's just I'm fostering a stray who
wandered into my yard while she was

pregnant, and then she had the
puppies, so now I'm fostering both.

Right.

Well, there's been a complaint
from one of your neighbors

who brought it to the attention
of the city administrators.

A complaint?

Business vehicle parked
on the street, number

of dogs being brought
in and out of the house.

Do you have a license?

She doesn't need a
license to foster animals.

Well, no, but there is
a city ordinance that

stipulates a maximum of
three dogs per household.

And if it's part of her business,
then she is in violation of the law.

I'm sorry.

Oh, come on, you're kidding.

Is there anyone I can talk to?

City Hall?

There are no exceptions.

The business isn't
run out of my house.

We do the parties at other
people's homes and parks.

Yet you're breeding dogs out
of the home for this business?

No, no, I'm not breeding dogs.

Mia is a rescue.

She was pregnant
when I found her.

Did you obtain a
dog license for her?

Um, no.

I meant to.

I really did.

I just, I forgot.

You're aware there's
a city ordinance?

Maximum three dogs?

Yes.

Puppies are exempt.

Up to a certain age.

Janice, she's not
doing anything illegal.

Perhaps not intentionally.

But the business and residential
address are one and the same.

Now dogs in that home are
being used for that business.

Business vehicles are
being parked on the street.

Look, it's only until I can
get the puppies adopted.

There have already been several
complaints from your neighbors.

Neighbors, plural?

Or neighbor, singular?

Listen, Fred complains when
someone flushes the toilet.

That may be.

But at this point, it's
a matter of the law.

And the law is quite clear.

I'm sorry.

What's your dog's name?

Excuse me?

The photo.

Abby.

She died a few months ago.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

But my point is, you're
a dog person, right?

I can tell.

Very much so.

Well, what would
you do if Abby...

Miss Goode, my love for animals has no
bearing on whether or not you can run a

business out of your home
or foster too many pets.

It may be very well
intended, but at this point,

you are in violation
of several city codes.

Puppy party play dates must
cease and desist immediately.

Thanks, Janice.

Janice is one of those people who reject
a primitive in eyes if dotted correctly.

Well, is there anyone
else we can talk to?

There might be.

Who?

Kelly.

She is the city attorney
and reports to the mayor.

She knows Janice well.

If anyone can find a crack
in her armory, it's Kelly.

Okay, well, let's call
her to set up a meeting.

Okay.

So, she's agreed
on a compromise.

Puppy party play dates
will retain its license,

but the dogs must be
removed from the house.

She then wants proof that
the puppies have been adopted

or sent to the shelter,
certified by new owners.

Can't we fight this?

Of course, but do
you really want to?

She can permanently
revoke your business license.

Not that it will stick, but it'll be
a hassle trying to get that back.

There's just no way we're going to
get the dogs adopted that quickly.

What about the shelter?

I already called so
many, and just like every

other shelter in the
state, they're full.

And besides, Brian, I don't
want them to shelter anyway.

They need to feel
loved, not alone.

Well...

bring them to my house.

You're not allowed to operate a
business from your house either, Ryan.

I'm not operating a
business from my house.

The ordinance still applies.

Too many dogs.

It'll get Janice off her back long enough
until the next party, gives the puppies a

place to live until they find their own
homes, and keeps Hailey's puppy party play

dates in operation, which
helps find those homes.

We just have to make sure
the puppies get adopted quickly.

Are you sure about this?

Not entirely.

But I know a certain little
girl will be very happy about it.

Hey, no peeking.

Okay, sweetie, you
can open them now.

Can we adopt them all?

No, we're just watching them
for a little while until the next party.

If there's never another
puppy party ever...

How can I say no now?

Hey, it's good practice.

When's the next party?

Uh, that would be next weekend.

It's my friend's
engagement party.

She should only be
attached to all of them by then.

You sure you won't get in
trouble with City Hall for this?

I don't think so.

Nobody needs to know.

Just glad I could help out.

Me too.

Would you like
to stay for dinner?

Sure.

There's a great noodle
shop down the street.

I'll go pick it up.

Okay, I'll stay here and watch
Emmy and the rest of the gang.

Be back in a few.

I'm so excited.

Do you think my dad will
ever let me keep Otter?

Oh, I think he's close.

I think your dad just wants to make sure
that you hold up your end of the bargain.

What's a bargain?

A bargain is... an agreement.

Like the other day when your dad
said you could only have one cookie?

That's a bargain.

He just wants to make sure he's not
the only one who's taking care of Otter.

Can anyone adopt Otter?

Well...

someone could.

But I find it usually works
the other way around.

What do you mean?

Well, think about Mia.

Right?

She's a sweet, amazing
dog, and I have no idea

where she came from,
but she didn't have a home.

And at first I thought
something was wrong with her.

Do you know why Mia
was alone for so long?

Because... she
hadn't chosen anyone.

You know, dogs are very
smart, and they're picky.

And she turned down all the other
offers because she wanted to be with me.

Do you think there's a
way to convince my dad

that I'll live up to my
end of the bargain?

I have an idea.

Do you have paper and markers?

Okay.

What are you two up to?

Emmy and I have been
working on something together.

So please, have a seat.

Okay.

My name is Emmy, and I'm here to present
to you the five criteria someone should

have before a rescue dog picks
them to be their new best friend.

First...

kindness.

I'm very kind to everyone, especially
to puppies, and especially to Otter.

When he shows up, I'll
always be nice to him.

Next...

smarts.

I'm really good at school,
which means I'll be able

to learn all about how
to care for a new puppy.

And I'm going to train him to sit, to
stay, and to not chew my daddy's shoe.

Fun.

We are going to have
so much fun together.

I'm going to take him on walks every
day and throw him a ball any time he wants.

Finally...

but...

I'm going to love him more than
anything in the world, except my dad.

And that's why I want to get a puppy
and my Olive up to my end of the bargain.

Thank you.

I knew I shouldn't
have left you two alone.

Oh, I found it very persuasive.

I bet you did.

So did I.

I'll tell you what.

Having these puppies here with
us for a few days will be a good test.

It's a lot of work.

Lots of responsibility.

If you can show me you can
handle it, I'll be inclined to say yes.

Thank you, Daddy!

Did you really like it, Daddy?

It was great.

You know, us not
getting a dog isn't because

I think you wouldn't
take great care of him.

I know you would.

This might sound silly, but it's just been
me and you for a while and maybe there's a

part of me that just doesn't want
to share you with anyone else.

But maybe it's time
our family gets bigger.

I think it is.

And I think Otter would
make a great addition.

He will.

Maybe Hailey, too.

What makes you say that?

Because she's smart and nice.

She makes you smile, Daddy.

I love you, sweetie.

I love you, too.

And she's out.

Puppies are, too.

Really?

Yeah, I mean, at this age
that's kind of all they do, really.

That was a sweet
thing you did with Emmy.

The presentation.

Oh, I hope I didn't
put you on the spot.

Sometimes I need a
little push to make me

realize that I might be
missing out on a moment.

Well, moments can be hard to pass
you by if you don't recognize them.

It's true.

Wait, where'd Otter go?

I have a pretty good idea.

Okay.

It's okay, Otter.

I'm right here.

Come on.

You can sleep with me, too.

It's getting late, so I
should probably go.

Hey, maybe Emmy can
help me at my next party.

Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

I'll, uh, I'll send
you the info.

Great.

Great.

Thanks for this today.

No, thank you.

Bye.

Good night.

I knew setting up an engagement
party would be so much work.

Um, every bride
who ever got married.

Well, I wouldn't know.

But maybe this afternoon some of
these dogs will find their forever home,

and I'll find my future husband.

Okay, maybe you will.

Speaking of future husbands,
how was our smoke show dad?

Would you stop calling him that?

He has a catch, Hailey.

I mean, the man is going
out of his way for you.

With the puppies.

I know.

But he insisted.

Well, I think it's noble.

I mean, these dogs
have nowhere to go.

The shelters are full.

They'd be homeless.

I know.

He's so perfect.

A perfect match
for you, that is.

Okay, fine.

I like him, Dana.

I like him a lot.

So much it scares me sometimes.

I know you've had your heart broken before,
but you can't keep living in the past.

Yeah, I know.

I just, I don't really know if he's
ready for a relationship, you know?

He's been through a
lot with the loss, and now

he's a single dad,
and his life is really full.

You just spent an
entire day with a man.

And his daughter.

From what you tell me, it sounds like his
life wouldn't be full without you in it.

Okay.

We have three
hours until the party.

You, my friend,
need to get home.

Our puppy party play
date shirts are officially

banned from this
afternoon's festivities.

You're getting your hair up,
dress on, best paw forward.

Let's go.

Okay.

Oh, you are so cute.

You're adorable.

And all available.

As well as the many adult
dogs we have in the back.

I was just gonna go take
a tour in the back room.

Thanks so much.

No problem.

Oh, don't you look dapper.

Thank you.

Where's Haley?

I haven't seen her yet.

Oh, she's around here somewhere.

Oh.

There she is.

Wow.

Wow.

What?

You, um...

You look great.

Thanks.

Dad, I'm gonna go check to see
how Emmy's doing with the puppies.

Yeah.

So, uh, how's it going?

Any takers?

Gonna be like
fishing in a barrel.

I hope so.

Hey, Dad.

What are you doing here?

Well, I am friends with
a cute couple, aren't I?

Also happen to be friends
with a bride's grandfather.

There he is.

Fred!

Hi!

I...

I didn't realize you
were Katie's granddad.

Well, now you do.

Well... I'm gonna get
myself a lemonade.

What's that all about?

He's the one who called
the city on my business.

Fred?

That old grump.

Well, I have to
have a talk with him.

Thanks.

You must be Ryan.

I am.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Goode.

Call me Wade.

All right.

Ryan, what's the difference
between an accountant and a lawyer?

Dad.

I don't know.

An accountant knows he's boring.

I'll go talk to Fred.

Okay, thanks, Dad.

I'm fine.

Ryan, see you again, Alps.

Yeah.

He really likes you.

How do you know?

He only tells really bad
jokes to people he likes.

Then he must really like me.

I think you're
his favorite, too.

Come on this way.

Hey, what's your name?

Roxanne.

Oh, hello, Roxanne.

I'm Mr. Blue.

And I've been
looking all over for you.

All of the adoptions are
done through this animal

shelter with Dana,
and they'll contact you.

You'll fill out all the forms.

They'll do an interview.

If you're a suitable forever home, then
you get to take the dog home with you.

Great.

Can I go see him in the back?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

The puppies are going fast.

We need to initiate Operation Otter
before someone snatches them up.

Operation Otter?

My dad has basically
said yes to Otter already,

but I just need to
push him over the top.

Oh.

So, Mickey Mouse.

What's that?

A person we need to make up
that's looking for a new puppy.

Oh, that's a really good idea.

But maybe we should go with a
name that's a little less suspicious.

Amber Dunlap, then.

She's my best friend in school.

Yep, that's much
less suspicious.

Here you go.

All right.

Operation Amber Dunlap, a.k.a.

Mickey Mouse, is underway.

You ready?

Your dad's over there.

Let's call him over.

Daddy!

Daddy!

What's up?

Look, someone
wants to adopt Otter.

Come on.

Yeah, well, you know,
I can't protect him.

Unless I agree right here
and now to adopt him.

Is that correct?

I'm afraid so.

Daddy!

All right.

Was that a yes?

Yes.

Thank you, Daddy!

Oh, uh, what's the next step?

I'm going to read the
adoption forms because, you

know, otherwise Amber
Dunlap's going to beat you to it.

Done and done.

Can I go tell Otter?

Of course.

Thank you.

Well, you know, I knew all the
dogs were going to go really fast.

Amber Dunlap, huh?

She was really serious.

Hmm, maybe I should talk to her
just to let her know the situation.

You know, I think she left.

She was coming
back for Otter, though.

Any minute.

She's a YouTuber.

You know, don't
pay attention to that.

She's a YouTuber.

She likes you.

I'm sure she's that
way with everyone.

I haven't seen her
that way with anyone.

How long's she
been in the shelter?

Over a year.

She was treated poorly by negligent owners
and called in by a concerned neighbor.

She was treated poorly by
negligent owners Anyhow, we nursed

her back to health and now
she's desperately looking for home.

And maybe I could take her home.

Do you want to take
her for a walk tomorrow?

Absolutely.

Here you go.

Thanks, have a good night.

Hey, where are Emmy and Dana?

Dana offered to take Emmy home.

She could hardly
keep her eyes open.

She also suggested I
stay and help clean up.

And she did, didn't she?

They both did, actually.

Need some help?

Yeah, sure, thanks.

Quite the night.

I think even your friendly neighbor
found a soft spot in his heart.

Yeah, I know, right?

Who would have thought?

So, good with dogs.

But the real question
is, can you dance?

Right now?

You too shy?

Because you don't
strike me as a shy type.

Emmy's waiting.

I'll be right back.

I guess...

I should go.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thanks.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

It's just...

It's... It's nothing.

Ryan?

Yeah, I just, I don't
know what it is.

Like, one minute, you know, I
feel like there's something there.

And then the next
minute, he's hesitant.

And distant.

Which is natural,
especially in his situation.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

Be patient with him.

What you working on?

A new proposal to
fund the dog sanctuary.

If I can't figure out a way to buy
this land, then I'm back to square one.

It'll take more than just
a fundraiser, won't it?

Yeah, a lot more.

Did the rest of the
puppies get adopted?

Almost.

Dana's interviewing potential new owners
now, so I should probably go help her.

I'll be back this afternoon to
finish the Lilly returns, okay?

I'm all covered here.

Do what you need to do.

Thanks, Dad.

Good morning, Haley.

Good morning, Mr. Hennessey.

Hey there, Dave.

Everything all right
with the returns?

Of course.

I actually wanted to
pop by and chat with you

about the grant I
mentioned last time I was in.

Oh, yeah, right.

Have a seat.

Did you decide on
a recipient for it yet?

No, we haven't
found the right fit yet.

How did it work out for
her with the signatures?

Did they get the
Bryan Street land?

No, but something else actually opened
up that's even better than Bryan Street.

An animal sanctuary.

All that's needed now is the
funds to purchase the land.

Is that so?

Brad?

Looks like you were deep
in thought with something.

I was just thinking.

Does she know?

Who?

Haley.

What do you mean?

I mean that you
have feelings for her.

I don't think that's
going anywhere.

You once told me that you never wanted to
get serious with someone because of Emmy.

That she was your everything.

And she is my everything.

Yeah.

But that doesn't mean that she
has to be your only everything, right?

Go and make her smile.

What's this?

Oh, just a little gift.

Just a little email
that I received today.

The animal sanctuary
she's proposing.

Looks like it got funded.

Huh.

Wow.

So, it's official?

It's funded?

All of it.

And approved by the city.

Oh, Haley's gonna cry.

This has been her
dream for so long.

We thought it'd be fun to
surprise her and tell her here.

Well, what did you have in mind?

What else?

Puppy party.

Awesome.

Wait.

Maybe you can tell her
that you found a new client.

Like a last minute request.

All right.

And Dana, you'll have
to convince her to bring

the puppies here even
though it's short notice.

Good idea.

And the barn here has really been
a sanctuary to Haley in many ways.

I think we should
have her meet us there.

Well, she's at the shelter so I'll
go there and wait for Wade's call.

Got it.

Great.

Awesome.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Happy home forever, little guy.

Good luck with her.

Thanks so much.

Bye.

Oh, puppy party play dates.

This is... Oh, hi, Dad.

A client?

How did you...

Uh...

Yeah.

Sure, let me ask.

Hey, Brad, do we happen
to have a few puppies

that we can use for
a last minute party?

We do.

We have two little
ones left for Mia.

Plus, I think we
have about five more.

Okay.

Yeah.

I'll be right back.

We can make that work.

Today?

At the barn?

Yeah.

Um...

Yeah, sure.

That's fine.

Um... Dana and I will
meet you over there.

Okay.

Sure.

Bye.

Hey, that is so weird.

My dad just got a booking
for us from a client and

they want us to meet him
at the barn of all places.

We could do that, right?

Yeah.

I just... I didn't know anyone
knew about that place.

Oh.

The puppy party play date shirts are
in the wash so we should just wear this.

Oh.

Wait, wait, wait.

Is that a stain?

That's a stain.

Yeah, we should
probably change then.

Better get going.

I don't see a stain.

What's going on?

Miss Hayley Goode, may I present
to you... Your new rescue sanctuary.

Recipient of the Hennessy Grant.

What?

It's now completely funded.

Congratulations, honey.

Thanks.

I... I don't understand.

I...

Is this supposed to
be some sort of joke?

Please tell me
this isn't a joke.

It's not.

The city's approved it.

I can't believe it.

There's something else.

What?

Something I want to tell you.

Something I should
have told you already.

I'm all ears.

So, here goes.

Um...

If I were a singer, I
would have put it in a song.

If I were a writer,
maybe a poem.

But I'm a city planner.

And I present things to people in
order to sway their opinion in my favor.

So...

You told me that we don't
choose a rescue animal.

They choose us.

But in order for them to choose us,
there's five things we need to possess.

You're the kindest
person I know.

You would do anything for anyone without
ever considering what's in it for yourself.

You didn't start puppy party
play dates to make money.

You did it to better the world.

And people's lives.

Dogs' lives.

And you have.

Smarts.

You have a successful
part-time business that would

be more than most people
could handle full-time.

And... You know the difference
between melting your mouth... Cookies.

And ones that...

Don't.

Fun.

You have a sweet laugh
and a beautiful smile.

You find humor in
almost everything.

Especially when
it's needed most.

It's infectious.

And adorable.

Honesty is hard to come by.

And trust is hard.

Especially when
you've experienced loss.

Especially when you have a
daughter who means everything.

But sometimes...

You have to trust your
heart more than anything.

Follow your heart.

And you never know
where it might lead you.

And it's led me...
To this moment.

This... Now.

Saying these words
to someone who...

Isn't complicated.

Just...

Perfect.

And lastly...

A person has to be loving.

And...

I don't think there's
anyone else in the

whole world with more
love to give than you.

And it's because of that...

I wouldn't want to be
rescued by anyone else.

Me neither.

It might be... Too
much... Too soon...

But...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here.

Live in... The now.

The present.

And say...

I think I've fallen in love
with you, Hayley Goode.

That's good because... I think
I've fallen in love with you, Ryan Hill.
