Gotcha!

Oh, no.

-Animal Control! -Get in there!

Sorry, pup.

Why are humans like this?

Not your lucky day.

-I'd help you if I could, but... -Tough town for a stray, isn't it?

He could've been a Lost Dog.

Chose not to. Look where that got him.

I don't need your protection.

That is exactly what he said.

And I don't need a human.

Look at you.

Spark against the world.

You want King as a friend, kid.

You would not want me as an enemy.

But, hey, if you ever need a helping paw, you know where to find me.

Who's feeling lucky?

I am!

Another day at school with the Dos Amigos.

Boom!

I think we've established that it's tres.

Yes, we have definitely established it's tres.

There's three of us.

Now for a day of learning

after a proactive morning with my excellent human, James.

Go get 'em, Whiz. You got this.

You're delusional.

That dog is never gonna be a sheepdog like my Storm.

Did you seriously come all the way from your house just to give me grief?

I live next door.

Okay, Whiz. Maybe you need to try a new approach.

What do sheep want?

Bark.

Sheep!

Watch and learn, rookie.

That's how you do it.

I'll get better.

I don't see how you could get much worse.

See ya, James. Storm.

Don't worry, Whiz.

One day, we'll show Gertie and her dog just how awesome you are.

It's on.

I know I have room for improvement,

but my human James is extraordinarily patient.

Sure sounds like a great human, all right.

He's the best human ever.

What? No way, dude!

My girl is all that.

Let me tell you about my morning.

We did stuff.

We wore stuff.

Project Puppy's next installation.

Electronic Dance Pup.

I know this is just for the school website,

but remember, everyone starts somewhere.

And action!

Do the Floss. Do the Robot.

Trick Banana.

Do the Nae Nae.

And cut.

You still need to work on your dance moves, but you did great.

Good dog. We'll fix the rest in post.

And I don't know what we were doing, but I nailed it.

I got a "good dog" and everything!

Well, what about your morning, Spark?

Wait, what?

Yeah, "dude-orella".

-We, like, know nothing about your-- -Can we not talk about our humans today?

It's "Tell Us About Your Human Day" at Pup Academy.

That would be the universe saying "no," amigo.

Yeah, here we are, we're always learning something new

There may be ups and downs But we'll be comin' through

So pay attention We'll pick up a thing or two

Uh-oh-o-oh

I'll be right by your side

{n8}No matter what No matter what

{n8}You got me day and night

{n8}No matter what No matter what

I'll always be there

{n8}For you And I know

{n8}You're there for me too

{n8}And we got that bond for life

No matter what No matter what

{n8}I got you like that

{n8}Okay, honey! So I called the school

{n8}and let them know that today's a work-study day for you.

{n8}So, today is your first official day at Pup Academy.

Grandpa told me to be prepared for anything.

Training day.

{n8}And it looks like you did think of everything.

Just like your dad.

Oh, honey, do you know how proud of you he'd be for taking all of this on?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, dinner's at 6:00.

I sticky noted it so you won't forget.

How could I miss it?

Now time to hop up and flush myself down the toilet.

{n8}Have fun.

I love you Morgan.

Whoa.

Grandpa?

Grandpa!

Hey, Grandpa.

I've got everything I need to--

I'm almost done.

Namaste-namasa-mamanusa.

What are you doing?

It's Tai Chi.

They say calm days are the way.

So, we're training, right?

I've seen these movies.

Do I get a cool robe and lightsaber now?

Oh, yeah, you do, yeah.

Here you go.

Is this what I think it is?

If you think it's a pooper scooper, you're right.

Earlier this week, we had orientation,

where you learned about your new school.

Today, we will have a different orientation,

where we learn about you.

It's "Tell Us About Your Human Day."

Oh!

-Who would like to go first? -Oh, me! I wanna go!

Would someone like to tell us about their human?

-Right here! Corazon! -Let's give another pup a turn, shall we?

-I wanna go. -Who doesn't go all the time?

Right here! Corazon! Me!

-Please! -Pom-Pom?

That's me!

My human is also a cheerleader. Like me! But she only knows one cheer.

She's F! F for fierce!

W-W-Woo!

H-H-Hoo!

Woo-hoo!

Thank you, Pom-Pom. That was... enthusiastic. Next?

My human gets angry and bangs on his drums!

He keeps banging on things!

He must really hate them!

Bang! Tish! Boom boom, tish! Boom t--

Thank you, Mullet. That was loud.

Humans call that "music."

Strange, I know. Next?

I love stories about our humans.

Who's next? How about picking at random.

I don't know, Spark?

Please, regale us with everything about your human in explicit detail.

Whoa, yeah!

We don't know anything about your human!

Well, I wouldn't know where to begin.

They must be pretty cool to put up with a pup like you.

Spark, if you don't tell us about your human,

I'll implode.

Only if you're comfortable, Spark.

-Do it! -We wanna hear!

I bet her human's amazing!

Okay.

Woo-hoo!

Oh, this is gonna be good.

Oh, yes.

This should be very, very good.

Well...

My human?

The human I know best?

He's got a uniform.

Like a superhero?

Yeah. Like a superhero.

And his job gets him the most high-tech,

dog toys, ever.

We got you cornered this time!

And no matter how far I run, he never gets tired of trying to catch me.

I'll never get tired of trying to catch you, stray!

He never gets tired of playing Chase the Puppy?

Ever.

Your human sounds remarkable, Spark!

I cannot wait to learn more, or maybe... meet him!

Yeah.

Thank you for participating, Spark.

Well, that was quite the fanciful description, Spark.

Class dismissed.

The pup has a good imagination.

You put her on the spot, Fitz.

We know she doesn't have a human, the class doesn't.

Oops!

How forgetful.

Your human sounds so awesome!

Why didn't you tell us?

I didn't want to brag because my human is...

A superhero!

Costume? Cool gadgets?

Does he have a shield?

A suit of iron?

Is he green?

Yeah. A superhero.

-Let's go with that. -I knew it!

Spark, your human sounds exceptional.

Anyway, off to go fight evil.

Whiz, Corazon,

may I have a moment alone with Spark, please?

Okay, Spark, we'll see you tomorrow.

Have fun with your human!

Spark.

Yes, Headmistress Gruff?

Spark's human sounds unreal.

I wish we could meet him.

You know, that's actually a great idea, Corazon.

I had a great idea?

So that's what it feels like.

What was my great idea?

Just follow me.

I know you're not used to opening up,

but we're going to have to tell your truth sometime.

Does everyone here have a human but me?

At this school, yes.

But just remember, being different is nothing to be ashamed of.

Thanks, Headmistress Gruff.

I'll think about it.

Hi, Spark!

Where did you two come from?

-We thought we'd surprise you. -Don't you need to get home?

Before your humans do?

Not today.

So we thought it would be a great day to meet your awesome human.

Lead the way!

Spark, I'm pretty sure we passed this before.

I know we did.

I marked it three times already.

Seriously?

Make that four.

-You know what they say? -Who are they?

Clean floor, clean minds.

This baby is the Valkyrie Floor Polisher 1972.

-Why 1972? -Because that's the year I bought it.

Okay, here we go.

Still purrs like a kitten!

What?

I said, "It still purrs like a kitten!"

It has fur in its mittens?

Just let me show you how it's done!

This is what you do for fun?

No.

Here, you know what? You give it a try, all right?

-Okay. -Yeah. Have fun.

Clean right down here.

Oh, no! I can't control it!

No!

C'mon, Spark, can we meet him already?

I gotta get home soon.

I just don't know where he could be.

There he is!

I'm pretty sure that's a dog, Spark.

Or a very, very hairy human.

Oh! So it is!

Easy mistake to make.

You feeling okay, Spark?

Not exactly what I meant by "show you how it's done."

And maybe it's time for a newer model?

Like, from 2000-anything?

Nope. It's not her fault.

She just needs a tune-up.

She's still alive.

It is time, instead, to learn the ancient art of melting steel.

I'm pretty sure they call it welding.

I like that. All right, masks down.

Should I be able to see in this?

You're funny.

Humans. Never there when you need them.

Am I right?

Three dogs at once,

not a bad day if we can catch them all, huh, Lou?

Sorry. I didn't catch that. My headphones are in.

I said three dogs at once. Not a bad day.

They're still in!

Puppies! Three of them!

We are officially walking in circles.

And I thought I got lost easily.

Spark?

We gotta get your sniffer checked.

You know, I'm just remembering,

I think my human had to be somewhere else today.

Spark, we've been running all over the place.

If you don't want us to meet your human, just say so.

No, that's not it.

I mean, it's cool. I'm sure you have your reasons.

Even though we share everything with you,

and are, like, your new best friends at school and stuff.

Guys, I gotta tell you something.

But first, we gotta move.

Costume? Cool gadgets?

Run! Follow me! Fast!

These must be your humans.

Gotcha!

Oh, no! Run!

Yuck.

Your human tastes like mayonnaise!

That one's friendly.

Don't make friends with them.

What are you guys doing? I said run!

Something doesn't add up here.

-Spark? What's going on? -Keep it down in there!

That is not my human!

Wait a second, these aren't superheroes.

They're super villains!

That's Animal Control!

They're the humans that took my parents.

And I never saw them again.

Hello?

Anyone here? Hello?

Yo, King, we got company.

Guys, look at this.

All right, let's hear her out.

She's a stray, after all.

Enough!

I brought an offering.

My stash for the week.

Well, well.

The stray came back the very same day.

You come to your senses? You joining our pack?

No, but I need a favor.

I'm intrigued. Go on.

I need help getting two pups away from Animal Control before it's too late.

So, not a small favor.

I'll help you, but this scrap isn't going to cut it as payment.

I have nothing else to give you.

You'll owe me one. A "paw-pact."

To be called in at any time, for anything.

Okay. "Paw-pact."

Now let's go save my friends.

Help!

Morgan, grab the fire extinguisher!

I don't know how it works!

Pull the pin.

Is there a fire?

I was just making toast.

But the smoke is everywhere.

I like my toast crispy.

Congratulations, you just learned how to use a fire extinguisher.

This job is weird.

This rig had a full tank of gas when I lent it to you.

I had to get my dry cleaning.

If Animal Control bring Whiz and Corazon into that building,

I might never see them again!

Kid, relax.

You don't get to be our age on the street

without knowing how to dupe Animal Control.

Okay.

Watch and learn, pup.

-Head. It's time! -Clark.

An easy score.

Away you go, boys.

You can hobble, but you can't hide.

Poor "widdle" dog hurt his paw?

You're not getting any sympathy from me.

You still got one more leg than I do.

Four legs.

Eight legs!

Oh, boy!

We got double trouble.

Scatter!

Wait for me!

Oh, no! No!

He was faking it?

They're all yours, pup, as promised.

King, you're the best.

Spark! What's going on?

We can talk about this later. Let's go!

We have to get out of here, now.

Spark! Remember, you owe me now.

"Paw-pact."

Well, thanks, Grandpa.

I learned a lot today by learning what not to do.

Well, adversity builds character.

You stuck with it, no matter how many disasters we had.

Wait a sec, were those accidents all planned?

Oh, as if! Morgan!

Your Grandpa would never cook things up just to teach you a lesson.

Cook! Oh, shoot, Mom said be home by 6:00.

Gotta go!

Why, I'd love to join!

I did burn my toast to a crisp, after all.

All part of the plan, right?

Right.

See ya!

We're safe here.

What is this place?

This is where I live.

It's nice.

Outdoorsy.

Where does your human sleep?

I don't have a human.

What?

I'm a stray.

But at school you said...

Everybody was talking about how great their human is,

and I don't have one.

So I lied.

I never meant to put you guys in danger.

We were in danger?

Spark, we like you for who you are, not who your human is. Or isn't.

What kind of danger?

You jumped into that van and saved us.

It's bad that you lied, but you're a good friend.

And the thing about you being a stray?

Your secret's safe with us.

-Thanks, guys. -We should go.

Our humans are probably already looking for us.

You okay out here alone, Spark?

You bet. This is my home. I'm used to it.

And who needs a human when I have friends?

No reason you can't have both.

We will see you tomorrow at school, Spark.

Yeah, right.

Me with a human.

Happy training day, honey!

A party?

After a day like that? Sweet!

At Pup Academy, we celebrate mistakes because we always learn from them.

That's right, we are so proud of you, kiddo.

And, Morgan, you earned this. Next time you come through the toilet,

you'll be wearing your own official uniform.

Wow!

Okay.

All right, sweetheart, that's beautiful.

-Blow out your candles. -Yeah.

-What's he doing? -I don't know.

What's he doing?

And that is how you put out a fire.

Look how much you learned today.

Is that a great day or what?

King.

D-O-G?

And to what do I owe this honor?

I'd advise you to stay away from my students, King.

Pets are your specialty.

Stay away from the strays, D-O-G, and we'll be all good.

Much to do. And little time to do it.
