Mr. President.

Mr. President?

Mr. President. An urgent matter has come up regarding the North Korean treaty.

Mr. President?

How many times have I told you?
Off!

Mr. President. I'm sorry I've told Teddy [squeak]
a thousand times not to sit in your chair.

It's all right, Stuart. Some mornings,
I think he'd be better running the country.

-What's on the agenda for today?
-North Korean treaty sir.

They need an answer by noon.

-What time is the dedication tomorrow?
11:30 AM. in Ohio.

The angel will be on the tarmac waiting for you at 8:30 AM.

Dandy. Tell the press to give me twenty minutes,

I need to take care of this.
-Yes, Mr. President.

[children talking and laughing]

[knocking on door]

I'll catch you.

And you stop it.

Hey, little fella.

Excuse me. Oh hi Paul. I told him
not to answer the door to strangers.

Well you did a good job.

-Can't get these checks fast enough.
-You ever going to start up the bed and breakfast again?

Oh no. These foster kids are my tenants now
and I wouldn't want it any other way.

-Thank you. See you, bye-bye Paul.
-Bye, Mrs. Angell.

-Why did you give him your autograph?
-Because the nice man brought me a check from Uncle Sam.

-Who's Uncle Sam?
-He helps pay for all of you to stay here with me.

-Only sometimes he's a little cheap.
-Cheap, cheap.

-Cheap, cheap, cheap.
-Cheap, cheap, cheap.

-Here. Here me.
-No, me.

[crowds cheering and clapping]

Mr. President, we're going to need
to keep this to 35 minutes.

-So we can make your second appearance.
-Three, two, one, good boy.

"Any man that doesn't like dogs
and doesn't want them around,

doesn't deserve to be in the White house. "
Calvin Coolidge. He loved dogs.

The President's approaching the green.

I want you to know how honored I am,
that your new school has my name.

You in turn ought to be honored for your efforts
in combating global warming.

Let's preserve more parks
like Wicker Park here at the high school,

and keep our world green.

You are the future. I'm depending on you.

The world is depending on you. Thank you.

[barking]

Teddy, what's the matter?

[barking]

Teddy, what's the matter with you, buddy?

[barking]

What's the matter with you?

[gunshot, people screaming, Teddy barking]

The suspect Lawrence Smythe was taken into custody
today at 1:00 PM

after an attempt on the President's life.

Oh we so adore Myles.
He seems to be a wonderful, bright child.

Oh he is.
Believe me, what a character he is.

-What about that boy with a gap in his teeth?
-Gap in his teeth?

-You know, the quiet one. We saw in the corner the other day?
-Oh, you must mean Danny.

Oh, we don't want him dear. He just seems
too quiet, not much of a personality.

No Danny is, he's a lovely boy.
He suffered a tragedy as a child.

Nothing a lot of patience and love won't overcome.

As for Myles? We still have a few
placements asking about him.

As you know, I don't get the final say in these matters.

♪[music plays]♪

Well, I don't care how long it takes,
your stay there until you find him.

I'd look for him myself,
but I have a country to run.

We have the most sophisticated technology
in the world, and we can't even find a dog.

Honey, why aren't we informing the press?
They would have a field day with this.

That's exactly what I don't want. We'll have everyone in America
telling me they found the first dog.

The last thing I want is someone demanding a ransom.

They'll find him, honey. They'll find him.

I hope so.

Hey!

Hey, come back!

[giggles]

How'd you get in here?

Your collar is soaked.

Teddy.

Teddy, lay down.

I wonder who you belong to.

Danny. It's time to get up.

Danny you can't do this every morning.
Specially on school days. Come on. Get cracking.

[Danny groans]

Hey!

No. Ahh!

He's a bunny up there.

He's so cute. He has to stay.

No. Tell your mom to
bring him to school, then you can share.

But he needs to get off of the bus.

-But ...
-No.

Honey I'm sorry, you cannot have animals on the bus.

-But he ...
-No you have to leave him here.

I'm sorry.

You better hide him or he'll get kicked off.

Thanks.

Wait here. Sit. Wait.

I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America

and to the Republic, for which it stands,
[children giggling]

one nation under God,

with liberty and justice for all.

What is so funny this morning?

You can sit down.

Stealing will not be tolerated in this classroom
or in any classroom for that matter.

I'm going to close my eyes for five seconds

and when I open them that
Apple better be back on my desk.

Five, four, three, two, one.

[children laughing]

Whose dog is this?

White House, how may I direct your call?
White House, hello? How may I direct your call?

Each and every one of you as a proud American
have a responsibility to yourself and to society.

So remember, do the right thing.

Do the right thing.

-Excuse me, is this your dog?
-Yeah, it is.

Teddy, I told you to wait outside.
You're going to get us in trouble again.

Hey that looks like your dog.

He looks like Mr. Woodroffe's dog.
The first dog.

-I think he is.
-Well how'd you find him?

I didn't. He found me.

There we go.

Goodnight Danny.

Mrs. Angel?

Yes, sweetie?

What if you found something
that belonged to someone else?

Well, then I'd return it.

It's the right thing to do, right?

It's the right thing to do.

-Did you find something that isn't yours?
-I think so.

Well then, if you know who owns it, you have to return it.

Okay. Thanks.

Goodnight, Danny.

-Oh, the door.
-Oh, I know, I know.

Get in there, come on. Hurry up. Good boy.

-What are you doing up at this hour?
-I was thirsty.

Want some milk?

That's what you need.

Nice glass of milk.

And I might have some chocolate chip cookies.

Looks like I'm off to bed.

Before you go, why don't you put this glass in the dishwasher for me?

That's okay, I think it's already full.

-I think I'll just turn it on.
-No!

[gasps]

Principal Perry called.
I know all about Teddy.

Don't I?

Now time for our dancing with the dog.

-We love Teddy!
-Yes, we love Teddy!

There.

You like that, huh?
Another collarless stray in the world.

How could anybody give you up, hmm?

[Mrs. Angell] If you know who owns it, you have to return it.

[President Woodroffe] So remember do the right thing.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Teo, no meat, just like you like it.

Here we are movie star.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Oh! I'll get back to you later.

Visiting another planet?

Just thinking.

Taste okay?.

[phone ringing on other end]

White House, how may I direct your call?
-I'd like to speak with the President, please.

-And who may I say is calling?
-My name is Danny Milbright.

And what is the purpose or your call, young man?

-Can you tell the President I have his dog?
-One moment, please.

She's getting the President.

How may I direct your call?

I'm sorry, the President is busy at the moment.
Would you like to leave a message?

-Can you tell Mr. President that I have his dog?
-Yes, dear I'll tell him.

-Don't you need my phone number?
-Oh yes, of course.

Area code 6-6-1,
5-5-5-1-9-0-4.

-That's California isn't it?
-Yes, ma'am.

That's a long way from home. The President's Dog
lives in Washington. Thank you for calling.

She hung up me.

Don't worry, the President will call back.
And I'll get you home safely.

Ms. Angell?

By any chance
did I get a call from the President?

I don't remember getting such a call.

What would you say if I went on a trip?

-A trip? Where in heavens to?
-The White House.

The White house.
Why of all places the White house?

I think Teddy belongs to the President
and I have to return him.

-The President?
-Of the United States of America.

Danny, if the President lost his dog,
don't you think he would be looking for him?

Yeah.

-We would have heard about it on the news, don't you think?
-Yeah.

Besides what if somebody wants to
adopt you? What would we say?

You went on the road?
With some dog?

-No one's gonna want me.
-How can you say? That's being silly.

I think Teddy is your new friend
and I think you should hold on to him.

-So you wouldn't want to return him?
-No.

Even if he was the President's dog,
I would never let you go anywhere by yourself.

Specially if it's all the way to Washington.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Come on, Teddy, let's go back in the house.

Teddy, come on.

The President.

-You're late.
-I had to wait until everyone was asleep.

You're the dude with the President's mutt?
Name is Brandon. I'll be your chauffeur this evening.

Hey sis, better get home now. Mom's gonna have
a fit if she finds you out this late.

-Yeah. Good luck.
-'Kay, thanks. Bye.

C'mon man.

-So how long 'till we get to the White house?
The White House? The one in Washington?

We're not going to Washington,
we're going to sin city.

We're going to Vegas
that's nowhere near Washington.

Amber told me that you guys were going to New York,
New York and dropping me off on the way.

We're going to New York, New York in Las Vegas.
We're going to Vegas, baby!

Brandon, I'm not!

-But you wish.
-You moron!

Oh shit.

Your uncle's gonna kill you.

-This is her fault, she was texting me.
-You've started, you idiot.

[all arguing]

-Stop it!
-Stop!

Stop it. Don't argue.

♪[soft music plays]♪

Thank you very much. Have a great trip.

I'd like two tickets to Washington, please.

-Which Washington?
-How many are there?

Well, you have Seattle, Washington and
then you have Washington in the District of Columbia.

-Which one does the President live in?
-Now that would be Washington, D.C.

Where are your parents, son?

They ... they're waiting for me in Washington.
Washington, D.C.

My Dad is, my Mom she just had to go use the bathroom.

Animals are not allowed on the bus.

But there's a picture of a dog on the bus.

But that doesn't mean they are allowed on the bus.
You're going to have to crate him.

That'll be $99 one way.

Can I pay when I get to Washington?
Please.

Hold on. Let me just check something here.

Come on Teddy. Let's go.

[clock ticking]

[phone rings]

I'm in New York, New York, Las Vegas.

-Yes, will you accept a collect call call from Danny?
-Yes, yes.

-Hello? Ms. Angell?
-Danny

Danny thank God, I was so worried.

-Danny, now tell me exactly where you are. I'm coming to get your.
-I'm okay.

You have to tell me where you are,
I had to call the police.

I'm in New York, New York, Las Vegas.

-What? What are you going there?
-I have to return Teddy. I have to.

-Danny, you have to come back to the home. Right now.
-I can't. Did the President return my call?

Danny, Teddy is just a regular dog. I don't know
what makes you think he belongs to the President.

-I have to go now. Bye, see you later.
-No, don't hang up.

Sixty, seventy, eighty.
That's enough to get some chips.

You wait here.

Teddy, I told you to wait outside.

You have another thirty cents?

Thank you, sir.

-Is this your best friend?
-Well, I think he belongs to the President of the United States.

-He does?
-I think so, so I'm taking him back to the White House.

Are you a Republican?

Thank you, sir.

So give the President his dog now.

You guys work on the Strip?

I guess this is the end of our trip.
We'll have to find a way back home.

Where are you going?
Teddy! Teddy, where are you going?

Teddy?

Teddy? Come on where are you?
You're gonna get me in trouble.

♪[music]♪

Whose dog is that? Hello little fella.
Are you a stowaway on my bus?

-There's no room for dogs on this tour.
-Wait!

-I'm sorry, ma'am, but there were some men after me.
Why are some men after you?

Well back at the gas station,they probably overheard me
telling the store clerk that I have the President's dog.

That's the President's dog?
-THE President?

The President.
I'm returning him to the White House.

That kid's had too much sugar.

So, what are we going to do?

Just wait until we get to the next town,
call the local authorities. Somebody's going to be looking for him.

Uh huh.

-Hey darling, do have a number to the local sheriff's department?
-Are you having problems?

No ma'am.

I'm going to go check on Teddy
since I can't bring him inside.

Hey, we'll bring you some bacon and eggs, okay?
-Thanks.

He's a good kid.

Bacon and eggs, please.
-Okay.

-Bacon and eggs. Make that four.
Take one to the kid.

Come on, Teddy.

-There you go.
-Thank you.

-Could you take this to the kid?
-The kid left about ten minutes ago.

-He did?
-No.

What are we going to do, we have to be in Nashville by morning,
there's absolutely no way we can wait for him.

-That kid probably already caught a ride with someone else anyway.
-I can't believe we fell for this.

Thank you, Sally.

-I like your hat.
-Thanks.

Don't worry, they left.

I'm going to be famous
country singer one day.

-Really?
-Yep.

Thought your friend might like some croutons
and I bet he's thirsty.

Thanks.

Eat.

-So how did he get so far from home?
-I don't know but it's my duty to return him safely.

-Because it's the right thing to do.
-Because it's the right thing to do. Yeah.

You know, I think you should become a singer.

When you go for something, you've got to go for it all the way.
Trust in what your heart tells you.

Like my heart tells me I
have to take Teddy back to his home.

You're a smart kid, Danny. You're going to make
somebody very proud to be your parents one day.

-Now you look like a country singer.
-I do?

Sure do.

Sal, I can't have no kid sin my truck.
You know that. I'm a loner.

You're going right by D.C., aren't you?
-Yeah, but ...

He'll be no trouble, and his dog is
better behaved than most who come through here.

But the transport don't allow no passengers in my truck.
You know insurance reasons and stuff.

You're just a heartless, son of a ...

Can I have a piece of pie?

Get it yourself.

-Sal.
-What?

-This ain't very nice.
-I didn't do anything.

Sal, there's a dog in here.

Teddy.

Teddy. I'm very sorry, mister.
I guess he's really hungry.

Big Mike, meet uh
Teddy and Danny.

You're going to get me in trouble.
Teddy, better wait outside.

I don't have a leash.
He'll just wander back in here.

I got some rope in the truck.

There he'll be fine right here.

-I'm sorry sir, again about your burger.
-I told you, I had three before that one.

-And don't call me sir. It's Big Mike to you.
-Yes sir Big Mike.

Hey, you want some pie?

I'd always like some pie.

Hey, hey, that's my kind of kid. Come on let's go.

Stay here Teddy.

I think your bud's had enough.

I'm going to go check on Teddy
bring him some more croutons.

I gotta get on the move.
I gotta be in Philadelphia by tomorrow morning.

I can't Sal, I just can't.
That pie was good though.

They found us. The men in black.
They're trying to steal Teddy.

Head to the back.
Take your dog in the back right now.

Come on Teddy. Teddy, hurry, come on.

I'll take care of him Sal.

Evening, gentlemen.

Thanks for rescuing us, sir.

What did I tell you? Don't be calling me no sir.

It's Big Mike to you.
-Okay Big Mike, to me.

-Who are the men after you?
-I think they want to steal Teddy.

Probably because I told the store clerk,
that Teddy belongs to the president.

What are you talking about?

Didn't Sally tell you?

-She said you need to get to Washington.
-Yes, but the one in D.C., not Seattle.

Well I'm going to Jersey, so I can
drop you off in Washington.

Hopefully not New Jersey in Las Vegas.

I just don't understand kids.

So what are we carrying?

Excuse me?

What's our cargo?

Stuff.

What kind of stuff?

If I tell you, I have to kill you.

Just kidding. I transport.
Every time it's something different.

It seems that someone always
needs something moved from one place to another.

Can't tell you how many times I
been down this same road.

All three thousand miles of it.

-Do you want to try the horn?
-Really?

[horn honking]

-You drove a truck ever since you were fifteen?
Almost, partner trucking until I was seventeen.

Then I got my own license
then my own truck.

Don't you miss your home?

Don't got no home. The road is home.

Don't you have any kids? Or a wife?

Nobody's waiting for me. What about you?

Well, there's this lady June, really nice lady.
She's just a foster mom, she isn't my real mom.

Not my real Mom.

-You're a oner too?
-A oner?

Orphan, foster kid.

-I didn't know that's what it's called.
-Welcome to the club.

Are you a foster kid?

I was. Lost my folks,
when I was 15.

What happened to your family?

Car accident.

Drove a little tiny thing
and they came up on a drunk driver at the wheel.

I'm really sorry for you.

Where's your mom?

My folks died in a fire.

It's all my fault.

They say she fell asleep and her cigarette burned down the house.

How can that be your fault?

I never liked the smell of cigarette smoke so,
I had to shut my door.

They'd still be alive if I'd opened that door.
I just couldn't open it, to save them.

There wasn't nothing you could have done.

The fact was because the door was closed
it probably saved your life.

-Why them? They didn't deserve to die.
-And you did?

You wanted to save them,
you couldn't. But the fact is you did want to.

Your intentions was good.
That's all that matters.

I think we need to pull off.

-Turn in for the night?
-Yeah.

-Where are we going to sleep?
Big Mike's hotel.

-They have a hotel named after you?
-Sort of. You're riding in it.

There's a whole room back there.

-Where are you going to sleep?
-Right here, somebody gotta keep watch.

I don't need much sleep. Maybe hour or two.
I gotta keep driving.

But you and Teddy can climb back there,
Make y'alls self at home.

Big Mike, thanks helping me and Teddy out.

Bedtime kid, get out of here.

-Morning.
-Good morning. Where are you headed?

-New Jersey.
-What's your business?

Novelty products.
-Do you have any paperwork?

Got it here somewhere.

-Here your go, sir.
-Thank you.

Let's go see the load shall we?I need to make sure
you're not carrying anything you're not supposed to.

You got it, sir.

You have to wake up. Wake up now. You got to go.

-Are we having breakfast?
-You got to take that dog and go now, we got a problem.

But we can't leave you.
-They're going to put you in jail, or send you back. You got to go now.

But ...

Don't but me or I'll call
the police myself. Hit the road!

Come on, Teddy. Come on.

[horn honks, brakes squeal]

Oh boy!

We didn't see you, you ran right in our path.

-Let me take a look.
-It's okay, I just twisted it.

Looks like you're bleeding a little bit. Here, let me go see
if I can find you a bandage, okay?

Who're you running from? Are you in some kind of trouble?

-Come on, Vicky-Ann, let's go! What are you doing?
-Shut up! Will ya?

-These two men in black are after me and my dog.
-Well why's that?

Probably because I ran away from home.

Come on over here, I'm going to get you fixed up.
Lean on me. Alright?

Henderson, open the door.
The boy's hurt, you idiot.

Come on Vicky-Ann, we don't have time to play with children.

You darn near ran him over.

Alright.

Give me your knee. Don't worry.

Look, good as new.

-Now, where are you headed?
Well, Washington, D.C.

You want us to give you a lift? It's not out of our way,
to drop you off in Washington.

That's real nice, but ...

Yes, yes, I will. Thank you for the offer. I will.

Hop in.

Teddy come on.

Watch your tail.

-What are you doing? We can't take the kid with us.
-We're going in that direction.

I don't like kids.

And you know I don't like dogs.

Don't mind Henderson.
He hates everything.

Come on. Come on!

So why are those men chasing you and your mutt?

It's okay boy. You can trust me.

Trust me.

Does the boy have a name?

What's your name son?

Danny, ma'am.

I'm Vicky-Ann this here's Jimbo,
but likes to be called Henderson.

All right already I'm not going to light it.

Hey Danny, maybe we can help you.

Come on.

Well what would you say if I told you,
this dog is the President's dog?

President of Kiwanis,
or the United States?

Shut up!

The United States.

I remember that dog.

I've seen him on TV with Woodroffe.
I've seen the brindle color before.

So you believe me?

Well why wouldn't we?

You can't have any chocolate, it isn't good for dogs.

Must be a big reward.

Well it's the first dog of the United States,
must be a big reward.

Well I don't want any reward.

Then why in the he.. heck are you going to all this trouble for then?
-Because it's the right thing.

You're absolutely right kid.
That's the right thing to do.

Let's go! Let's go!

Again?

Might as well say it.

-We got to hurry.
-The seat belt is stuck.

So, come on, damn!

Forget the seat belts they don't work.
-Come on, let's go!

Stop, come back here!

-Why is that man so upset?
-I didn't have the exact change so he got angry.

Want some chips?

How did you guys meet?

He picked me up at a square dance.
-She picked me up.

I don't think so.

I was your knight in shining armor
and you wanted me bad.

Do you guys have any kids?

Henderson never wanted any kids.

-I still don't.
-But I wanted a couple.

They ain't nothing but trouble.

I don't think so. They're just a
reflection of their parents.

What do you mean?

Like if they are raised with proper manners,
then they'll turn out okay.

If they're not so good parents, they're going to
turn out like brats always misbehaving

and probably going to jail.

Teddy, you thirsty?

There's a bottle of water in the car.
Okay, thanks.

Come on.

Come on, I'll beat you there.

Okay, you'll beat me there.

-I'm thinking.
-Do you think that really is the President's dog?

It's gotta be.

-How long until Washington?
Not far kid, just a few hundred miles more.

This looks like a great place.
-Are you sure?

Yeah.

-Are we there?
-Stopped to stretch our legs and get some cigarettes.

Henderson, the money for cigarettes.

Hey Danny, you want to run on in and get us some cigarettes?

-Smoking isn't a good thing, I don't think I should.
-Yeah, kid's right. So just get me some gum.

Alright. Go ahead and get yourself and the mutt something.

Okay. I'll get a Beef stick four you,
that work? And I'll get me some kettle corn.

Teddy. Teddy!

How did he do that?

You little ... Get over here. This ought to hold you.

He's gone.

They took him.

-No, a man and a lady.

This is the way it's gonna be okay. Big Mike promises.

We'll find him. We're back together again.

Let's go find Teddy.

-Why?

I got a little something for them.
They're coming on the side right now.

He did it, he rolled down his window.

-How's your pitching arm Danny?
I'm no good at baseball.

This is your big change to redeem that.

Come on y'all, come on now.

Throw it, Danny!

Hi there!

So sorry about your ride.

Welcome to the big leagues, Danny.
Welcome to the big leagues!

Hurry, Henderson.

-You stupid car!
-Come here you, come here.

Come here, you little mutt.

-Come any closer and he's dog meat.
-No!

-Stay back kid.
-Danny, stay back.

Let him go.

Teddy.

You better have
good life insurance.

I ... He did not want, I'm sorry.
I didn't hurt that dog.

It's all right, all right.

-Don't make another move.
-No!

See what's on him.

Stay back, Danny. Stay back.

Grab it and let's get out of here.

He shouldn't have done that.

Give me the dog kid.
Give me the dog.

-Don't move. I swear I'll shoot, I swear.
Gimme that dog.

What are you gonna do with that besides make me mad?

Give me the gun, give me the gun, give me the gun!

Vicky-Ann!

I didn't want anyone to get hurt.

That's my Danny boy.
Come on. Teddy, come on.

Thank you.

-I'll be right back.
-Okay.

-What'd you do with them?
They gonna be there for a while.

-Told me I could trust her but you know what?
-What?

Can't trust a person on what they say,
it's what they do.

-Thanks.
-Hey, what's friends for?

Let's get out of here.

Help! How come you didn't
have any bullets in the darned gun?

-I'd slap you right now
if I wasn't tied up. Help! -Help!

-Why are we stopping here?
-We are a few blocks away from the White House.

I don't think we're gonna get any closer.
Remember what we got in here today.

What's wrong with fireworks?

Danny, fireworks are illegal in most states
. That's why they stopped me back there.

I could prove to them I was going to a legal state.

So that's why you don't want to drive up to the President's place?

Not a good idea.

Pennsylvania Avenue's closed.

The road's closed?

Uh huh, for security reasons, Public Transportation's
not allowed. The only way to the house is by foot

Now Danny, when you get through dropping Teddy off,
you can ride over to Jersey with me to drop the explosives off.

Then ride back to California with me.

-Really?
-Really. That's my boy.

Here we go, son.

-You alright?
-Yeah, thanks.

This is it.

You're a brave kid, Danny.
And you're a good person too.

You're a good boy, Teddy. Yes you are.
It's been an honor for me to know first dog.

Now I've got to find a place,
where I can park this big old monster.

Here's my cell phone number. Don't lose it.
Call me when your mission's complete, and we'll hook back up.

Ah, you can see it from here, the big needle.

-What is it?
That's the Washington Monument.

The White House is close to it.
Just follow the needle.

Thank you.

I guess it's time to say goodbye,
I have to give you back. It's the right thing to do, right?

You have a home
you have a family, you belong there.

There are people who love you. But you're
the best friend I ever had.

Come on, let's get you home.

Hey,hey, you little mutt, come back with my dog!

Thanks Teddy. I was famished, but you shouldn't
have stolen it. Especially so close to the President's place.

So come on.

Animal control? Lafayette Park.
near Madison.

Come.

Teddy, no. Come back!

Teddy, come back. Stop Teddy.

No!

Big Mike's number.

They've taking the President's dog away.

-Who has?
-The dog catcher.

If the dog catchers got your dog,
there's nothing I can do about it.

Can't you tell the President?
He's the only one that can save him now.

-The President doesn't have time to save your dog.
-I told you it's not my dog.

Run along kid.

[President Woodroffe] So remember, do the right thing.

[siren whoops]

Hey there young man, where you going?

-I have to see the president.
- Aren't you a little young to be worried about political issues?

They've taken Teddy.

Well the President can't help you with that.
Why don't you come with me, and maybe I can help.

-Will you help me find Teddy?
First I need to know who you are.

I'm Danny.

-Your last name Danny?
-Milbright.

Alright Danny Milbright, let's see
if my computer can find you.

What you in for?

Trying to return the President's dog, running away
from a foster home and stealing a hot dog. What are you in for?

Armed robbery.

-Why would they send him to Asia?
Not Asia stupid. Euthanasia.

That means they put him down.

-Put him to sleep?
-Forever.

Usually hold him a few days,
then if no one claims him ...

Food fight!

No.

I have to save Teddy. No.
I have to save Teddy.

Mutt, you're next.
Nobody wants you.

The final
of walking.

Set it up.
How are you doing?

Why do you bother?

Because we do it once on the way in
and once on the way out. That's the policy here.

Let me see.

You told me you scanned him on the way in.

Danny, tell me more about what
caused this explosion.

-They're going to kill Teddy.
-Who? The men in black?

Danny you've got to understand there are no men in black
this dog doesn't exist

and he doesn't belong to
the President of the United States.

You've created them in your mind,
probably since your parents' accident.

Sorry, sorry.

Sir, the boy has visitors.

They work for the government.
[whispers] They're Secret Service agents.

You're the good guys?

Agent Morello and agent Alcove.
Please, gentlemen.

Let me see some ID.

Are you here to help me save Teddy?
Or am I in more trouble?

Wow!

What? Teddy, you're alive.

Come here.

[Teddy barking]

Danny? Hi, I'm Stuart, Brentwood,
I work with President Woodroffe.

-Nice to meet you, Mr. Brentwood.
-You too. Here have a seat.

Now Danny, the President is going to be down momentarily,

We're going to shoot a couple of photos with you and him

and you'll be out of here in fifteen minutes.

-Okay?
-Okay.

Okay.

I'll handle it, Mr. President.

-I want everything on my desk first thing in the morning.
-Yes, sir. -Thank you, Jennifer.

Danny.

-Robert Woodroffe.
-Nice to meet you, Mr. President.

You can call me Robert or you can call me Mr. Woodroffe,
whichever you're more comfortable with.

-Yes, Mr. Woodroffe President.
-Or that too, have a seat.

I want to thank you for bringing
Teddy back to Washington.

and tell you what a brave thing you did.
-I kind of messed up.

Kind of messed up? No. No you didn't. The main thing is
Teddy in his house because of you.

Danny, you did the right thing.

-Excuse me, Mr. President.
-Yes, Stuart?

The official White House photographer would like to take
some photos with you and Danny.

Good idea.

-Would you like that Danny?
-Okay.

Sir?

You okay?

So, what happens to him now?

I believe they're sending a social worker to
fly with him back to the foster home in California.

Danny, how would you like to have dinner
with us and the Prime Minister of Canada?

But Mr. Brentwood said,
it's time to leave now.

Well the President and I have some authority over
Mr. Brentwood and we would like you to stay.

-Okay.
Okay, yeah? Mr. Brentwood?

Great.

Yeah?

This is Robert Woodroffe calling from the White House
is June Angell there?

-Who is it?
It's the President of the United States.

Give me the phone.

You fidget. Hello?

Ms. Angell?
-Yes, that's me.

This is Robert Woodroffe. The President.

This is Robert Woodroffe, the President
of the United States? Sure you are.

You, you ... you Mr. Woodroffe ...
You are the P-P-President of the United States.

Mr. Woodroffe, I mean, Mr. President.

We've made arrangements for a social worker to
bring Danny back to California to your foster home.

I, I don't... I was
informed that he was in juvenile hall.

It's all been worked out.

But I do not understand, sir.
How could you come across Danny?

He's very brave and noble man, Mrs. Angell.

He went through quite a bit
to return my dog to me.

-Your dog? Teddy really is your dog?
-He sure is.

I'm indebted to Danny for bringing
him back to Washington safe.

I didn't have any idea, I thought that he ... he's really your dog?

Thanks again for inviting me, Mr. and Mrs.
President, and for the new clothes.

It's our pleasure Danny.

You know Danny, the first lady tells us,
that you're quite the hero.

She did?

-Here you go Danny.
-Thanks.

So why did you name your dog Teddy?
-That's a good question, Danny.

I named him after a great American
President named Theodore Roosevelt.

But Teddy's name isn't Theodore though.

Teddy is a playful nickname for Theodore.

Did you know that Teddy bears
were named after Roosevelt?

Stuffed toy bears got the nickname
from something that happened to Roosevelt,

during his presidency.

What happened?

President Roosevelt loved to go hunting.

He and his pals were out in the woods. They all had
their rifles and they see a great big bear.

They take aim. They're ready to take it down,
suddenly Roosevelt goes "Stop!"

Because there was a baby cub.
It was a mother and her baby.

Since he saved that baby cub, all stuffed bears
in America were then called Teddy bears.

They have sold more Teddy Bears than any other
stuffed animal or doll in America.

Is that President Lincoln?
-Yes, it's President Lincoln.

The Sixteenth President of the United States.

He was a great man.
What did he do that was so great?

He was known for his honesty,
and his compassion and his integrity.

He was so respected that a national
holiday was reserved in his honor.

-What is that?
-Presidents' Day.

-Good night, sweetheart.
-Good night.

-Sleep tight.
-Okay.

Good night, you guys.

-Can you leave it open a crack please?
-Of course.

Thank you.

Can I come in?

Sure, we're still awake.

I just wanted to tell you how honored Rebecca and I
are to have you as a guest here at the White house.

-Really? You are?
-You sound so surprised.

It's just I'm Danny. Just some kid.

You are not just Danny. You are not just a kid.

You are a very special somebody.

Back at the foster home, I'm not that special.

-Why do you say that?
-I've been there a while so people are like...

I'm never the chosen one.

Maybe you should look at who's doing the choosing.
Maybe they are not worthy of you.

I've got a new motto for you.

-You do?
-Yes.

We progress through strength, not weakness.

Strength is what brought you to Washington.
No weakness.

Think about that.

-Thanks. Goodnight.
-Sweet dreams, Danny.

You too, Teddy.

Good night.

I got it.

Danny throw.

[cell phone rings]

Hello?

We've gotta be at the airport before seven.

-Even you don't want me anymore.
-That's not true.

It's not my decision
it's social services.

They feel that this is the best placement for you.

But you're my family.

Hey Danny, wait up.

Gimme skin.

Now me.

Come here.

With that it's time for America to
take care of its own.

So with my new Angel fund
we'll identify poverty and homelessness

and find good and loving homes
for all foster children everywhere.

And not to forget our furry friends.

Save thousands of animals awaiting their fate
in shelters all over America.
