HUH ? OH, OH, NO. I'M JUST
TRYING TO THINK OF NAMES...

FOR THE PUPPIES.
WHAT'S THE HURRY ?

THEY HAVE TO BE REGISTERED
SO THEY CAN GET THEIR PAPERS.

YOU CAN'T BEGIN TO

AND YOU LAUGHED WHEN JIM
CARSTAIRS ENROLLED HIS SON AT
YALE THE DAY AFTER HE WAS BORN.

WINIFRED VON DANKELEIN.

IRMA--

[ Chuckling ]
CLOTHILDE. OH, MY, MY.

[ Dogs Yipping ]

[ Dr. Pruitt ]
QUIET, QUIET.

YEAH-HUH.

EASY, NOW.
EASY, NOW, FELLA.

E-EASY, NOW.
EASY, NOW, LITTLE FELLA.

EASY, NOW.
I'VE GOT YA, I'VE GOT YA.

THAT'S MY IDEA
OF A REAL DOG.

AHH, THE GREATEST.

AND DUCHESS THERE IS
THE BEST DANE I'VE EVER OWNED.
SHE'S YOURS, HUH ?

AHH, SHE SURE IS.

JUST BETWEEN
THE TWO OF US, DOC,

I'D GIVE MY BACK TEETH
TO HAVE A DOG LIKE THAT.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
[ Pup Yips ]

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. DON'T
GET EXCITED. I'M GETTING TO IT.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
TAKE IT EASY, TAKE IT EASY.

ALL RIGHT. BOY.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON NOW.
COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH THIS ONE ?
OH, NOTHING YET, NOTHING YET.

EH, HEH.
LOOKS LIKE HE'S NOT HUNGRY.

OH, HE'S HUNGRY, ALL RIGHT.
HE'S JUST NOT TAKING
TO THE FORMULA, THAT'S ALL.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON NOW.
WHY DON'T YOU PUT HIM BACK
WITH HIS MOTHER ?

NO, NO, NO.
THAT WOULDN'T WORK,
THAT WOULDN'T WORK.

WHY NOT ?
WELL, IT'S A CASE OF TOO MUCH
LITTER AND TOO LITTLE MILK.

DUCHESS JUST PICKED HIM OUT
AND PUSHED HIM AWAY.

PUSHED HIM AWAY ?
HER OWN PUP ?

WELL, THEY DO THAT SOMETIMES.
IT'S FUNNY THE TRICKS
NATURE PLAYS, HUH ?

[ Chuckles ]
HMM.

NOW YOU TAKE THAT DACHSIE
OF YOURS, DANKE.
SHE'S GOT TOO MUCH MILK.

YEAH.
WHY, SHOULD COULD FEED
HER THREE PUPS AND--

SAY--

[ Chuckles ]
AH, NO. NO, NO, NO, DOC.

NOW, JUST SO THE DACHSIE
COULD WET-NURSE HIM ?
MM-MM. NOT INTERESTED. SORRY.

OH, NO. WAIT,
DON'T GET ME WRONG, NOW.

I'M NOT TRYING TO SELL HIM.
I'D BE GLAD TO GIVE HIM AWAY
JUST TO KEEP HIM ALIVE.

NO, NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT, DOC.
MM-MM.

WELL, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

NO PLACE FOR A GREAT DANE
WITH A FAMILY THAT LIKES
DACHSIES ANYWAY, HUH ?

HERE, SEE WHAT
YOU CAN DO WITH HIM.
WELL, UH--

I'LL GO GET YOUR PUPS.
OH.

'KAY. HMM !

ONE DROP AT A TIME.
OH, YEAH. OKAY.

WELL, NOW, WA-WAIT.
HO-HOLD ON, THERE.

HOLD ON, THERE.
COME HERE, COME HERE.

HE-- HEY, COME ON,
TAKE SOME OF THIS, NOW.

COME ON, NOW.
GET IT DOWN.

THAT'S ONE.

[ Horn Honking ]

OH, MARK, I THOUGHT
YOU'D NEVER GET HERE.

FRAN, WAIT JUST A MINUTE.
OH, DANKE, I BET YOU'RE GLAD
TO BE HOME AGAIN, HUH ?

LOOK, FRAN, THERE'S SOMETHING
I HAVE TO TELL YA.
OH, MY THREE LITTLE DARLINGS--

DANKE ! MARK,
SHE HAD ANOTHER PUPPY !

[ Chuckles ]
YEAH, WELL, SORT OF.

WHY DIDN'T DOC PRUITT CALL US ?
UH, WELL, HE FIG--
HONEY, THIS DOG HERE--

OH, ISN'T SHE
FUNNY LOOKING ?

SHE'S A HE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
FUNNY LOOKING ?

WELL, DIFFERENT.
WELL,
IT IS DIFFERENT.

WELL, I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE
HE WAS BORN LATER, HUH ?

UH, WELL, UH--
MARK IT'S GETTING TOO CHILLY
FOR THE PUPPIES OUT HERE.

WHY DON'T YOU BRING THEM IN ?
I'LL WARM SOME MILK FOR DANKE.
FRAN, I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS--

YOU KNOW, MARK, YOU REALLY OUGHT
TO BE NICER TO DANKE NOW.
WHY ?

FOR HAVING A BOY PUPPY.
HE'S WHAT YOU ALWAYS
WANTED, ISN'T HE ?

YEAH. HE SURE IS.

COME ON IN, FELLA.
DINNER'S READY.

ROVER.

PRINCE.

- BUTCH. COME HERE, BUTCH.
COME HERE, FELLA.
- [ Pups Whimpering ]

- HI. HOW'RE THINGS
IN THE NURSERY ?
- FINE.

GOOD, GOOD.

[ Clicks Tongue ]
MARK...

DO YOU THINK
THAT PUPPY'S ALL RIGHT ?
WHICH ONE ?

- THE MALE.
SOMETHING SEEMS WRONG TO ME.
- WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIM.

WELL, HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED ?
HIS HEAD AND HIS FEET
ARE ALL OUT OF PROPORTION.

MARK, HE IS POSITIVELY UGLY.

WELL, I WOULDN'T SAY
THAT HE WAS UGLY.

WELL, I SUPPOSE HE'LL CHANGE
WHEN HE GROWS UP.

OH, YEAH, YEAH.
HE-- HE'LL CHANGE DEAR.
HE CERTAINLY WILL.

HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK
IT SHOULD BE ?

- WHAT DO I THINK
WHAT SHOULD BE ?
- HIS NAME.

- WE GOTTA HAVE A NAME FOR HIM.
- OH, I DON'T KNOW.
YOU PICK IT. I'VE RUN DRY.

YEAH, OKAY.
HOW 'BOUT, UH--

BUT, MARK, NOTHING LIKE,
UH, SPORT OR BUTCH OR ROVER.

I MEAN, THAT DOG
HAS CHAMPION BLOODLINES.

WELL, IT SHOULD BE A NAME
WITH SOME KIND OF... DIGNITY.

HOW ABOUT BRUTUS ?

[ Chuckling ]
BRUTUS ?

YEAH, THAT HAS DIGNITY
AND NOBILITY TO IT. BRUTUS.

I MEAN IT HAS A-A-A SOLIDITY
AND A STRENGTH ABOUT IT.

IT'S, UH-- BRUTUS.

YOU KNOW... I LIKE THAT.

WELL, IT'S UP TO YOU DEAR.
BUT FRANKLY, IT DOESN'T SOUND
MUCH LIKE A DACHSHUND TO ME.

[ Muttering ]
OH, NO, NO, IT DOESN'T
SOUND LIKE A, UH--

IT SOUNDS LIKE
A CHAMPION, THOUGH.

[ Phone Ringing ]

HELLO.
[ Dr. Pruitt ]
HELLO, MARK.

OH, HELLO, DOC.
HOW ARE THE DACHSIES ?

THEY'RE JUST FINE, DOC.
AND THE DANE ?

YEAH, YEAH. NO, HE'S GREAT TOO.
NO FEEDING PROBLEMS AT ALL.

[ Dr. Pruitt Continues,
Indistinct ]
NO, NO OBJECTIONS.

IS MRS. GARRISON
CHANGING HER MIND ?
AS A MATTER OF FACT,

I HAVEN'T
TOLD HER YET, DOC.
SHE'S NOT BLIND.

WELL, I KNOW SHE'S NOT BLIND.
WELL, HE MUST BE GETTING
PRETTY BIG BY NOW.

WELL, I FIGURE I'VE STILL GOT
A COUPLE OF DAYS. THEY'RE NOT
EVEN OUT OF THE BASKET YET, DOC,

AND, AND, I WANT TO GIVE HER
A CHANCE TO LIKE IT, YOU KNOW.

[ Dr. Pruitt Continues,
Indistinct ]
[ Fran ] MARK !

UH, THE PRELIMINARY SKETCHES--
I'M WORKING ON RIGHT NOW,
MR. DAYTON.

I SHOULD HAVE THEM BY THE
END OF THE WEEK. THANK YOU.
I'LL SEE YOU THEN. BYE.

AM I INTERRUPTING YOU ?
UH, NO, NO DEAR.
NOTHING IMPORTANT.

HARRY DAYTON IS A LITTLE NERVOUS
ABOUT THAT COVER I'M DOING
FOR HIS MAGAZINE.

OH, IS THIS IT ?
UH, WELL, THAT'S ONE
OF MY IDEAS, YEAH.

WHY, THOSE ARE
THE DACHSIES, EH ?
UH-HUH.

THAT-THAT'S SWEET. BUT, UH,
WHAT IS THAT BIG THING THEY'RE
STARING AT SO ADORINGLY ?

WELL, UH,
THA-THAT'S A, UH--

I HAVEN'T DECIDED YET, ACTUALLY.
IT'S A LARGER ANIMAL
OF SOME KIND.

YOU KNOW, EH, FOR CONTRAST.
OH, YEAH, THAT'S,
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

YOU KNOW, A GREAT DANE
MIGHT BE EFFECTIVE.

YOU REALLY THINK SO ?
MM-HMM.
BUT YOU SHOULD BE USING...

DANKE AND THE PUPPIES
FOR MODELS.
[ Chuckles ]

THEY'RE A LITTLE TOO SMALL
FOR THAT YET, DEAR.
[ Chuckles ]

WELL, YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED
HOW FAST THEY'RE GROWING.

COME ON, GIRLS.

[ Yipping ]

WELL, HOW ABOUT THAT !
THEY'RE OUT OF THE BASKET.

- [ Whining ]
- AND BRUTUS.

WELL, WILL YOU
LOOK AT HIM, HUH ?

HEY, LOOK AT
THE WAY HE'S--
HE-HE'S GROWING.

[ Forced Chuckle ]
KIND OF LIKE A WEED, HUH ?

OR LIKE A GREAT DANE ?

NOW, JUST HANG ON
A MINUTE.

JUST HOLD ON THERE NOW
FOR A MINUTE, FRAN.
I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

LIKE YOU'VE BEEN EXPLAINING
EVERYTHING FOR THE LAST
COUPLE OF WEEKS ?

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH BRUTUS.
HE'S NOT DIFFERENT,

IT'S JUST THAT HE WAS
BORN LATER.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT. YOU DID.

WHAT DO YOU SAY NOW ?
YOU STILL GOING TO TELL ME
THAT'S A DACHSHUND ?

I DIDN'T SAY THAT, FRAN.
NOT ONCE DID I SAY THAT
THAT WAS A DACHSHUND.
NO, NO !

YOU WERE SNEAKY ABOUT IT.
YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME,
MARK.

I, I NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD BE
THAT DECEITFUL AND SNEAKY.

OH, NOW, COME ON, FRAN.
SNEAKY ! I MEAN, YOU-YOU
COULD'VE COME OUT LIKE A MAN...

AND TOLD ME YOU WERE GOING
TO BRING THAT DOG HOME
INSTEAD OF HIDING IT;

SMUGGLING IT IN
WITH THE PUPPIES, MARK.

SNEAKY, SNEAKY, SNEAKY !
OKAY, OKAY. I'M SNEAKY.

MARK, I-I REALLY NEVER THOUGHT
THAT YOU COULD DO SOMETHING...

THAT SNEAKY !
WELL, IF YOU GIVE ME JUST
A MINUTE, I'LL TELL YOU.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
YOU HAVEN'T
HEARD ME YET !

WELL, I'M NEVER GONNA
BELIEVE YOU AGAIN.
OH, I'M SORRY.

WELL, FOR
GOODNESS' SAKES.
I'LL FIX IT.

FRAN.
FRAN, IF I HADN'T--
[ Yipping ]

COME HERE, LITTLE FELLA.

IF I HADN'T BROUGHT THIS
POOR LITTLE PUPPY HOME,
HE WOULD'VE STARVED.

- STARVED ?
- THAT'S RIGHT.

CAME FROM A BIG LITTER,
HE COULDN'T GET ENOUGH
TO EAT AND, AND, AND,

FRAN, HIS OWN MOTHER
PUSHED HIM AWAY.
NO !

THAT'S RIGHT.
OH, POOR BRUTUS.
OHH.

WHEN DANKE HAD HER PUPS,
WELL, SHE HAD TOO MUCH MILK,

SO, UH, DR. PRUITT ASKED
IF SHE COULDN'T WET-NURSE HIM
TILL HE WAS WEENED, THAT'S ALL.

I TELL YOU, I-I JUST DIDN'T
HAVE THE HEART TO REFUSE.
I REALLY DIDN'T.

I'M SURE YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE EITHER.
OH, OF COURSE NOT.

OH, POOR BRUTUS.
I'M SORRY FOR ALL
THE NASTY THINGS I SAID.

THEN YOU AGREE I DID
THE RIGHT THING, HMM ?

OH, MARK ! DON'T YOU THINK
I HAVE ANY HEART AT ALL ?

I'M SORRY, DARLING.
I SHOULD'VE KNOWN.

THEN WE CAN
KEEP HIM, HUH ?

CERTAINLY NOT.
HE'S BEEN WEENED.

HE AND DOC PRUITT'LL
GET ALONG JUST FINE NOW,
SWEET BABY.

COME ON, DANKE.
[ Claps Hands ]

COME ON, GIRLS.
[ Barking ]

HE'S A FINE LITTLE FELLA, DOC.
HOPE YOU FIND A GOOD HOME
FOR HIM, HMM ?

HEY, DOC ?
HMM ?

- HIS NAME'S BRUTUS.
- BRUTUS.

YEAH.

[ Starts Engine ]

[ Approaching Footsteps ]

MARK ?
HUH ?

HERE'S YOUR LUNCH.
OH. OKAY, JUST, UH,
SIT 'ER DOWN THERE.

HOW'S IT GOING ?
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.

I HAVEN'T HAD A DECENT IDEA
ALL MORNING. WORKING, WORKING
AWAY. NOTHING HAPPENING.

FOUR WEEKS
AND YOU'RE STILL ANGRY.

ANGRY ABOUT WHAT ?
BRUTUS.

THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
YOU SEE ? YOU SEE,
YOU ARE ANGRY.

FRAN, I'M NOT A CHILD,
YOU KNOW. I MEAN, WHEN I SAY
I'M NOT ANGRY, I'M NOT ANGRY.

YOU FORGOT THE CREAM.

DO YOU KNOW HOW YOU HAVE BEEN
ACTING LATELY ? HMM ?

SO COLD AND DISTANT.

YOU HARDLY EVER TALK TO ME.
YOU NEVER SMILE.

[ Sighs ]
THAT BAD, HUH ?

[ Chuckles ]
WORSE.

I AM A HEEL.
HMM.

I APOLOGIZE.

AND I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE
PROBLEMS ABOUT DOGS.
MM.

OKAY ?
OKAY.

[ Low Whine ]

TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL,
WE'RE GONNA SPRUCE UP TONIGHT.

WE'RE GONNA GO OUT ON THE TOWN,
WE'RE GONNA SEE A SHOW, WE'RE
GONNA HAVE DINNER. [ Kissing ]

PUT OUR GLAD RAGS ON.
WELL, I, UH,
I HAVE A CLASS TONIGHT.

MM ?
CLASS IN WHAT ?
IN GROOMING.

ARE YOU KIDDING ?
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
UH, FOR DACHSHUNDS.

DACHSHUNDS ?

WELL, WE COULD CELEBRATE
TOMORROW. YOU KNOW,
TOMORROW IS YOUR BIRTHDAY.

THAT'S REALLY SOMETHING
TO CELE-- YOU'RE ANGRY AGAIN,
RIGHT ?
HEH ?

NO. NO, I'M NOT ANGRY.

SEE ? I'M SMILING.

OKAY. TOMORROW IT IS.

BUT RIGHT NOW, WHY DON'T YOU
GET OUT OF HERE,
LET ME EAT MY LUNCH...

AND LET ME GET
SOME WORK DONE, HMM ?
MM-HMM.

[ Pup Yipping ]

[ Barks ]

FRAN, I BROUGHT THE CAR
AROUND FRONT.

** [ Humming "Happy Birthday" ]

HEY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON ?
IT'S DARN NEAR 6:15.

A BIRTHDAY CALLS
FOR CHAMPAGNE.

WELL, THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU,
DEAR, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TIME.

THEY WON'T HOLD OUR TABLE
PAST 7:00.
OH, WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME--

ALL EVENING,
BECAUSE WE'RE STAYING HOME.

WE'RE WHAT ?
WELL, I THOUGHT WE'D HAVE
A PRIVATE PARTY OF OUR OWN.

YEAH, BUT, HONEY, WHAT ABOUT
THE RESERVATIONS ? AND I GOT
TICKETS FOR THE PHILHARMONIC.

MARK, IT'LL BE
SO MUCH NICER HERE--
JUST US.

SO COZY.
OHH.

[ Both Chuckle ]

ON SECOND THOUGHT,
THAT'S NOT A VERY BAD IDEA.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT SAY THAT.

TO YOU, MY DEAR.

BESIDES, WE COULDN'T
POSSIBLY CELEBRATE
WITHOUT THE DACHSIES.

[ Coughing, Gagging ]
OH, MARK ! MARK,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT ?

WITHOUT THE WHAT ?
WHY, DANKE
AND THE GIRLS.

WHY, AFTER ALL, MARK,
IT IS A FAMILY AFFAIR
AND THEY ARE FAMILY.

THEY-- THEY'RE DOGS, HONEY.
OH, MARK,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

NO, I DON'T. NOW, LOOK,
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, RIGHT ?
RIGHT.

THAT MAKES ME KING
FOR THE DAY, RIGHT ?
RIGHT.

MEANS I CAN DO WHATEVER
I WANT TO DO, RIGHT ?
RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.
I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING
WITH THE DACHSIES.

OH, MARK, NOW, I PLANNED
SUCH A WONDERFUL EVENING.
DON'T SPOIL IT.

YOU COME OVER HERE, MARK, AND
YOU SIT DOWN. YOU JUST RELAX
AND YOU DRINK YOUR CHAMPAGNE.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

COME ON, GIRLS.

HURRY, NOW.

[ Whimpers ]

COME ON.

HURRY.

THAT'S IT.

[ Pups Yipping ]

MM.

ALL RIGHT, GIRLS.
COME ON, NOW, LINE UP.
GO ON.

WILL YOU BLOW OUT
YOUR CANDLE ?
MM !

THERE, NOW YOUR WISH'LL
COME TRUE.

NOW YOU CAN OPEN
YOUR PRESENTS.

HERE. THIS ONE'S
FROM WILHELMINA.

FROM WILHELMINA.
WELL.

I WONDER WHAT COULD BE
IN THIS NECKTIE BOX.
[ Chuckles ]

WELL, IMAGINE THAT.
A NECKTIE.
SHE PICKED IT OUT HERSELF.

WELL, AH, MY FAVORITE COLORS.
GOES WITH ANYTHING, DOESN'T IT ?

I-- AND THIS
IS FROM HEIDI.
FROM HEIDI.

[ Whimpers ]

- A SOUP SPOON ?
- THAT'S A PIPE.

OH. THERE WE GO.

- IT'S THE LATEST KIND.
- YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD HEIDI.

I STOPPED SMOKING
TWO MONTHS AGO.
OH, I FORGOT.

WELL, UH,
THIS IS FROM CHLOE.

FROM CHLOE. MM-HMM.

LET'S SEE WHAT
WE HAVE HERE.

JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED:
A BOX.

WELL, OPEN IT !

** [ Music Box: "Where Has
My Little Dog Gone" ]

OH... THAT'S THE WRONG TUNE.

THE ONE IN THE STORE PLAYED
"THE BLUE DANUBE."

UH, WELL,
THIS IS FROM DANKE.

FROM DANKE. WELL.

YOU LIKE IT ?

I HAVE NO IDEA.
WELL, DON'T YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT IS ?

SHOULD I ?

DANKE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO BUY
YOU, SO SHE TOOK HER FAVORITE
BONE AND HAD IT BRONZED.

WELL, MARK, YOU COULD USE IT
FOR A PAPERWEIGHT.

A BRONZED BONE ?

WELL, DON'T YOU THINK
THAT'S A CUTE IDEA ?

FRAN, THERE COMES A TIME IN
EVERY MAN'S LIFE WHEN HE HAS
GOT TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED,

- AND MY TIME IS RIGHT NOW.
- MARK, IF YOU ARE GOING
TO COUNT, COUNT TO TEN.

I'M ONLY GOING TO SAY
THIS ONCE, FRAN.

I HAVE HAD IT WITH THOSE
WALKING WIENERS !

I HAVE HAD IT !
I WAS WILLING TO PUT UP WITH
DANKE. DANKE THIS, DANKE THAT.

DANKE WINS A TWO-CENT PIECE
OF RIBBON. LOOK AT IT. YOU'D
THINK IT WAS A NOBEL PRIZE.

BUT I REFUSE TO GO
THROUGH THE SAME ROUTINE
WITH THOSE PUPS.

I REFUSE TO-- I REFUSE
TO LET THEM RUN MY LIFE.

I WILL NOT
HAVE IT ANYMORE, FRAN.
KEEP 'EM OUT OF MY WAY,

OR THEY'RE REALLY GONNA
WIND UP SAUSAGES.

- [ Whimpering ]
- AND THANK YOU FOR
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

NOW, JUST ONE MINUTE !
JUST ONE MINUTE, MARK GARRISON !

- [ Barks ]
- YOU ARE THE MOST SELFISH,

THOUGHTLESS, INCONSIDERATE,
UNGRATEFUL MAN I HAVE EVER MET !
I'M SELFISH ?

THAT IS THE MOST
RIDICULOUS ACCUSATION THAT--

WILL YOU GET YOUR
WHATEVER-IT-IS OFF MY BED ?
I WANT TO RELAX.

THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE MY
BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO YOU, AND
YOU CAN JUST MOVE IT YOURSELF.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR-- FOR--

WHAT IN--

BRUTUS ! FELLA !

WELL ! HEY !

LOOK AT YOUR HANDS !
MAN, HAVE YOU GROWN.

GOOD--

OH, BOY.

I, UM...

[ Whimpering ]
DON'T KNOW HOW
YOU PUT UP WITH ME.

I'M SO BLIND.
AND SELFISH !

THAT'S RIGHT, YES.

AND NASTY !
MM-HMM.

AND MEAN.

AND I JUST KNOW
I'M GONNA HATE MYSELF.

[ Whining ]

COME ON, DANKE,
WE'LL TRY ON YOUR SWEATER.

OH, BRUTUS,
NOW YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
GO BACK WHERE YOU BELONG.

- GO ON. GO ON.
- [ Growling, Yipping ]

DANKE, COME. COME ON.

THAT'S MY GIRL.
TRY ON YOUR SWEATER, YES,
AND SEE IF IT FITS.

- YOU'LL BE THE PRETTIEST GIRL
ON THE WHOLE BLOCK.
- [ Mark ] FRAN ?

HMM ?
BURP A BABY FOR ME,
WILL YA ?

WHAT ?
BURP A BABY.
I NEED IT FOR A SKETCH.

ARE THE HANDS THIS WAY
OR THAT WAY ?
I DON'T KNOW, I--

HERE, SHOW ME
WITH DANKE.
OH, MARK !

IT'LL JUST TAKE

AROUND HERE LATELY ?

HAVE YOU HAD
ANY PROBLEMS AT NIGHT ?
NO, NO. WHY ?

WELL, THERE'S BEEN A LOT
OF PETTY THEFT GOING ON
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S THE WORK OF ONE MAN.
WE CALL HIM "THE CAT BURGLAR."

[ Chuckles ]

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY,
"WHO IN THE WORLD'D
WANT TO STEAL A CAT ?"

I AM ?
WELL, EVERYBODY DOES.

OH ! OH, WELL, I GUESS
MY SENSE OF HUMOR'S
NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE.

[ Chuckles ]
BUT ANYWAY,
THIS FELLA SNEAKS IN,

GRABS THE FIRST THING
HE CAN LAY HIS HANDS ON

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR
A CAT BURGLAR.

[ Laughing ]
ISN'T THAT SILLY ?
WHO'D STEAL A CAT ?

[ Whining ]

WELL, NOW, MAYBE YOU COULD STAND
A FEW IMPROVEMENTS.

MARK, ARE YOU SATISFIED ?
OR ARE YOU GONNA TRY AND BLAME
THIS ON THE DACHSIES TOO ?

WHY NOT ?
WE ALWAYS DO.
FRAN--

OF COURSE, THE FACT THAT
THE LITTLE, INNOCENT THINGS
ARE NOWHERE IN SIGHT...

SHOULDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE;
THEY MUST BE RESPONSIBLE.

THEY ALWAYS ARE.

AND POOR, POOR PERSECUTED BRUTUS
IS BLAMELESS.

OF COURSE, THE FACT THAT HE HAS
PAINT ALL OVER HIM...

AND PAINTINGS STUCK
ON HIS FEET IS MERELY
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

THAT DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING.
FRAN, WILL YOU SHUT UP !

OH... I'M SORRY,
FRAN, I--

I'M VERY SORRY.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT, MARK.

I EXCUSE YOUR RUDENESS
ON THE GROUNDS THAT YOU ARE
JUSTIFIABLY OVERWROUGHT.

YOU NEEDN'T APOLOGIZE.

BUT IF YOU EVER SAY
"SHUT UP" TO ME AGAIN,
MARK GARRISON,

NEITHER I NOR THE GIRLS
WILL EVER SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN.

- OH, BOY.

OH-H-H BOY.

TWENTY DOLLARS

AND IT WAS MY STUDIO.

ALL RIGHT, MARK.
LAST WEEK IT COST ME
$18 TO REPAIR...

MY COUCH SLIPCOVERS,
AND $92...

TO REPLACE MY MOTHER'S
BROKEN VASE.

FRAN, BRUTUS IS STILL
A PUPPY AT HEART.

WILL YOU PLEASE TALK TO HIM ?

- WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
- WELL, IT'S BRUTUS.

I WANTED YOU TO SEE BRUTUS. HE
CHASED HIM UP THAT TREE THERE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT ?

WHAT DO YOU THINK
I THINK, MARK ?
THAT'S A POLICE OFFICER.

NOW, HOW WOULD BRUTUS
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ?
JUST A PROWLER TO HIM.

IN FACT, HE COULD'VE BEEN
THAT BURGLAR THEY'RE CHASING
AROUND TOWN. HE DEFENDED US !

HE PROTECTED OUR PROPERTY !
ALL RIGHT, MARK,

BUT STILL, YOU--
HONEY, DON'T YOU SEE HOW
IMPORTANT HE IS TO US ?

HOW VALUABLE ?
IF WE KEEP HIM AROUND HERE, WHY,
NO BURGLAR'D COME WITHIN MILES !

PLEASE LET THE OFFICER DOWN

WHAT IS THIS ORIENTAL BACCHANAL
COSTING US, ANYWAY ?

MARK, WE HAVEN'T
ENTERTAINED IN SIX MONTHS.
WE OWE EVERYBODY.

YES, I DID MAKE MY HAIR
APPOINTMENT. YES, I DID PICK
MY DRESS UP AT THE CLEANERS.

THAT EVASIVE ANSWER MEANS
IT'S COSTING A BUNDLE, RIGHT ?

WRONG. WE'RE GETTING
A PACKAGE DEAL:
FOOD, DECORATIONS,

EVERYTHING FOR ONE
REASONABLE PRICE.

YES, I ORDERED THE GUEST TOWELS
FOR THE BATHROOM.

NO, I DID NOT SPEAK TO MARK
FIRST THING THIS MORNING.
SURE, YOU DID.

I SAID, "DID YOU SLEEP WELL ?"
YOU SAID, "MAKE YOUR OWN
BREAKFAST."

ABOUT BRUTUS.

MARK, YOU'VE GOT TO
GET RID OF THAT DOG.
NOW, WAIT JUST A MINUTE, FRAN.

NOW, LET'S NOT START THAT
AGAIN. BRUTUS IS MY DOG,
AND I AM--

I MEAN FOR TODAY, MARK,
SO HE WON'T BE UNDERFOOT.

I MEAN, IT'S DIFFICULT ENOUGH
TO PREPARE A LAWN PARTY
FOR 60 PEOPLE...

WITHOUT THAT FOUR-LEGGED

WITH THAT BIG CLUMSY OX ?

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, FRAN.
I'LL, UH...

TAKE HIM FOR A WALK,
ALL RIGHT ?

YOU'LL DO NO SUCH THING.
I NEED YOU HERE TO HELP ME.

JUST TIE HIM UP.

WHAT AM I GONNA DO, FRAN ?
I THOUGHT TOYAMA'S TAKING CARE
OF EVERYTHING.

WELL, MARK, YOU KNOW
SOMETHING ALWAYS GOES WRONG
AT THE LAST MINUTE.

I WANT YOU HERE
JUST IN CASE.

IN CASE OF WHAT, FOR EXAMPLE ?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT ?
TAKE AWAY "RION" !

THAT'S NOT A LION.
THAT'S A DOG !

NICE OF YOU TO ASK ME.
OH, YOU DON'T THINK WE'D FORGET
THE FAMILY VET, DO YOU ?

WELL, I'D HOPE NOT.
HOW ARE THE DOGS ?

OH, JUST ADORABLE. ESPECIALLY
CHLOE. YOU KNOW, I THINK SHE'S
GOT THE MAKINGS OF A CHAMPION.

WELL, THERE'S THE MAN
WHO COULD TELL YOU FOR SURE.

AND SO I SAID TO HER,
"MADAM, I AM JUDGING
YOUR DOGS, NOT YOU."

UH, MEL CHADWICK ?
HE'S AN EXPERT ON DACHSIES.
OR DIDN'T YOU KNOW ?

WELL, I DID KNOW THAT
HE WAS JUDGING THE FAIRVIEW

AH. CHLOE IS ENTERED,
I SUPPOSE ?

OH, DR. PRUITT,
YOU DON'T THINK THAT I
ARRANGED THIS WHOLE PARTY...

JUST TO GET ON
HIS GOOD SIDE, DO YOU ?

OH, NO, NO, NO.
NEVER ENTERED MY MIND.

[ Chuckles ]
WELL, I DID.
IT'S WICKED OF ME, HUH ?

NO, NO, NOT A BIT.
WHY DON'T YOU BRING CHLOE
OUT HERE AND SHOW HER TO HIM ?

OH, NO, I COULDN'T.
BUT YOU WILL.

OF COURSE I WILL.
WILL YOU EXCUSE ME ?

YEAH, I WILL.
AND GOOD LUCK.

OH, MY.

IF YOU THINK SHE'S GOOD ENOUGH.

THERE'S ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.
WHY DON'T YOU PUT HER IN THE
FAIRVIEW SHOW NEXT MONTH ?

CHLOE. CHLOE !
NO, NO, MRS. GARRISON.
LET HER GO.

TO BE AROUND PEOPLE.
OH, BUT I KNOW SOME PEOPLE...

WHO DON'T LOVE TO BE
AROUND DACHSIES.

GO ON, CHLOE.
BEAT IT. GO ON.

OF COURSE I CAN SEE
WHERE YOUR SYMPATHIES LIE.

HOW IS BRUTUS ?
HE'S GETTING ALONG
JUST GREAT, DOC.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HIM ?
I SURE WOULD.

BRUTUS DESERVES SOMETHING
OUT OF THIS PARTY. COME ON.
ALL RIGHT.

[ Chuckling ]
YES, SIR, MARK.
HE IS BEAUTIFUL.

- OF COURSE, I COULD SEE THAT
WHEN HE WAS A PUP.
- THERE YOU GO, BOY.

THE BEST DANE
I EVER BRED, I THINK.
YEAH.

AND IS YOUR WIFE GETTING USED TO
HAVING HIM AROUND NOW ?

DOC, LET'S SAY
SHE'S ADJUSTED TO IT.
THE DACHSHUNDS ARE HER PETS.

ESPECIALLY THAT LITTLE,
UH, CHLOE.

SHE'S REALLY GOT THE BUG.
SHE'S NOT GONNA BE HAPPY
TILL SHE WINS A BLUE RIBBON.

WHAT ABOUT YOU ?
DID YOU EVER THINK
OF TRYING FOR ONE YOURSELF ?

UH-- YOU MEAN

HE'S A FINE DOG.
DOC, THAT'S WHAT HE'S GONNA
STAY TOO. JUST PLAIN DOG.

PUT THE LITTLE WIENER
BACK IN THE HOUSE.

WE'LL UNDOUBTEDLY HAVE TO PAY...

FOR RUINED CLOTHES, MEDICATION
AND THE SHATTERED NERVES OF ALL
OUR EX-FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
THE TELEPHONE
HAS NOT STOPPED RINGING.

MEL CHADWICK IS
ON THE VERGE OF PNEUMONIA,

JANE FELTON HAD
A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN...

AND THE DRUGSTORE
HAS RUN OUT OF VAPORIZERS.
OKAY ! ALL RIGHT.

MARK !

MARK, I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW
THAT I CALLED DR. PRUITT
THIS MORNING.

TO TELL HIM WHAT ?
TO TELL HIM THAT YOU WILL BE
RETURNING BRUTUS THIS AFTERNOON.

RETURNING BRUTUS !

MY MIND IS MADE UP.
THAT DOG TURNED VICIOUS.

HE GOES, OR ELSE.
OR ELSE WHAT ?
LISTEN HERE.

HE WAS ABSOLUTELY BLAMELESS FOR
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, FRAN.

OH, BLAMELESS !

BRUTUS IS A KIND, LOVABLE,
INTELLIGENT ANIMAL !

AW, SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT.

NOW, LISTEN, FRAN !
LET'S SIT DOWN AND CALMLY
AND COOLLY DISCUSS THIS THING !

GOOD MORNING, BRUTUS.
UP KINDA EARLY, AIN'T YA ?

OH, NOW, DID YOU
MAKE THIS MESS ?

YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED
OF YOURSELF.

YOU SHOULDN'T EAT THIS STUFF.
IT AIN'T GOOD FOR YA.

LOOKS LIKE
IT WAS QUITE A PARTY.

[ Barking ]

HEY, WHAT'D YOU DO, LOSE A BONE
IN THERE OR SOMETHING ?

IN THERE.

ATTABOY.

BRUTUS, WHAT'S THE MATTER

[ Chloe Yipping ]

I DON'T KNOW.

OH, POOR CHLOE !
[ Eddie ]

- [ Laughs ]

SHE'S ALL RIGHT, FRAN.
OH, LOOK AT HER !

OH, MY POOR BABY.

HEY, YOU KNOW SOMETHING ?
I'LL BETCHA THAT'S WHY BRUTUS
WOULDN'T LET ME IN THE TRUCK.

HE KNEW THAT LITTLE POOCH
WAS IN THERE.
IT KINDA LOOKS THAT WAY.

DOESN'T IT ?
POOR BRUTUS.

BET YOUR SILLY FATHER
FORGOT TO GIVE YOU BREAKFAST.

YOU BIG--

FRAN, HE JUST
WANTS HIS SHARE.
COME HERE, BRUTUS.

COME, BOY.
COME HERE. WHOA.

MARK, HE HAS GOT TO LEARN
THAT HE IS NOT A LAP DOG.

NOW, WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE
ANY PEACE IN THIS HOUSE TILL HE
REALIZES HE IS NOT A DACHSHUND.

WELL, I DON'T THINK
THAT HE THINKS THAT--

YOU KNOW, FRAN,
YOU COULD BE RIGHT.

GO ON, GIRLS.
GO ON. GO ON.

SCATTER. SCATTER.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE ?

IT'S THE DOG BOOK.

I'M GONNA SHOW BRUTUS
WHO HE IS.

OH, MARK.
WELL, IT'S OUR FAULT.
WE NEVER TOLD HIM.

YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THIS,
BRUTUS. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

BRUTUS, NOW, YOU LOOK HERE.

LOOK.
THIS IS A DACHSHUND.

YOU SEE THAT ?
THEY ARE DACHSHUNDS.

YOU'RE NOT A DACHSHUND,
AND YOU NEVER WILL BE.
NO, NO, NO.

DACHSHUND, PHOOEY !
OH, REALLY. NOW, LET'S
NOT GET SO CARRIED AWAY.

PLAY ALONG WITH THIS
A MINUTE, WILL YOU ?
NOW, STICK WITH ME, BRUTUS.

STAY WITH ME BOY, HUH ?
NOW.

AH. NOW, HERE'S
WHAT YOU ARE, BRUTUS.

A GREAT DANE.
A GREAT DANE.

DACHSHUNDS, NO.
DANES, YES.

YOU ARE A GREAT DANE.

LOOK AT THAT.
YOU SEE THAT ?

THAT'S ALL THERE WAS TO IT.
HE JUST HAD TO BE SHOWN !

HOW ABOUT THAT ? YOU KNOW, HE
TOOK ONE LOOK AT THAT PICTURE;

ONE LOOK,
AND I COULD TELL THAT--
UH, MARK.

THAT HE STILL THINKS
HE'S A DACHSHUND.

[ Laughs ]
OH.

"DACHSHUND, PHOOEY.
GREAT DANE, YES."

YEAH.
POOR MARK.

HEEL, BOY.
BRUTUS, HEEL.

NOW, LOOK, FELLOW.
WHEN I TELL YOU TO HEEL,
YOU HEEL !

HEEL.

WELL. WHO'S LEADING WHO ?

HI, DOC. ALL RIGHT.
HEEL, BRUTUS. HEEL.

HEY, WHAT'S THE DIAGNOSIS
ON CHLOE ?

CHLOE HAS A RASH.
A RASH.
WELL, WELL, WELL.

YOUR WIFE WAS SURE IT WAS
SCARLET FEVER, BUT IT'S
JUST A MINOR SKIN IRRITATION.

NO PROBLEM.
YEAH. THAT DOG SHOW'S
GOT HER TIED UP IN KNOTS.

I HOPE SHE'S GONNA MAKE IT
THROUGH THE NEXT SIX DAYS.

HOPE I DO.
ALL RIGHT, BRUTUS.

STAY.

HOW ABOUT THAT, HUH ?
WANT A DRINK, DOC ?

NO THANK YOU. NO THANK YOU.
BRUTUS, LET ME HAVE
A LOOK AT YOU.

I TELL YOU, YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS.

YOU'VE KEPT HIM
IN FINE SHAPE, MARK.

YEAH, WELL, TRYING TO TEACH
HIM OBEDIENCE IS KEEPING ME
IN SHAPE, I'LL TELL YOU THAT.

FINE LINES,
NICE SQUARE HEAD.

HE'S GROWN UP
JUST THE WAY I FIGURED.

- MAKE A FINE SHOW DOG.
- OH, COME ON, DOC.

NO, NO, I MEAN IT.
I'D LIKE TO WORK WITH HIM,
IF YOU'LL LET ME.

- NO, NO, NO.
- TEACH HIM RING MANNERS,
STANCE. HUH ?

NO, NO. ONE IN THE FAMILY'S
ENOUGH, DOC. IN FACT,
IT'S TOO MUCH.

ALL I WANT HIM TO DO
IS LEARN HOW TO WALK
AROUND ON THIS LEASH...

WITHOUT JERKING MY ARM
OUT OF THE SOCKET.

HEY, STICK AROUND A MINUTE,
WILL YOU ? I WANT YOU TO SEE IF
I'M DOING ANYTHING WRONG, OKAY ?

ALL RIGHT, BRUTUS.
HEEL.

HOW ABOUT THAT, HUH ?

[ Chuckles ]
DOC ? DOC PRUITT ?

OH. DOC PRUITT,
DO YOU THINK I COULD
TAKE CHLOE FOR A WALK ?

WHY, OF COURSE.
WELL, YOU KNOW
THAT IRRITATION--

I WAS WONDERING-- I MEAN,
IT COULD BE AN ALLERGY. MAYBE
IT'S SOMETHING AROUND HERE.

I ASSURE YOU, MRS. GARRISON,
IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS.
HEEL NOW. HEEL.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
SIT DOWN.

COME ON, BRUTUS.
SIT.
MARK.

WHAT IN THE WORLD
ARE YOU DOING ?

WELL, I'M TRAINING HIM.
SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN.

- OH, REALLY !
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"OH, REALLY" ?

WELL, IT'S JUST
THAT BRUTUS IS--

WELL, REALLY !

FRAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SAY
"REALLY" IN THAT TONE OF VOICE,

YOU USUALLY REALLY
MEAN SOMETHING BY IT.

OH, MARK.
DON'T BE SO SENSITIVE.

IT'S JUST THAT BRUTUS
IS A SWEET, CLUMSY OX,

AND I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD
EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM HIM,
THAT'S ALL.

COME ON, CHLOE.

HEEL.

I'LL BE SEEING YOU.

DOC.

YOU'VE GOT A DEAL.
GET HIM READY
FOR THAT SHOW.

OH, HOLD ON, MARK.
NOW, THAT SHOW IS
ONLY SIX DAYS AWAY.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
IT WAS YOUR IDEA, YOU KNOW.

YOU SAID
HE WAS GOOD ENOUGH.
YEAH, I KNOW, BUT I--

WHAT ABOUT THAT BLUE RIBBON
YOU'VE BEEN TALKIN' ABOUT, HUH ?

NO, NO, NO.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. IMPOSSIBLE.

THEN YOU'LL DO IT ?
OF COURSE I WILL.

ALL RIGHT.
NOW, ONE THING, DOC.

DON'T TELL MY WIFE, HMM ?

MARK, UNDER THESE CONDITIONS,
I WOULDN'T TELL ANYBODY.

I WOULDN'T EVEN TELL
MY MOTHER.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP,
BRUTUS.

BRUTUS. ALL RIGHT.
BRUTUS, YOU UNDERSTAND--

WAIT-- WAIT A MINUTE.
ALL RIGHT, NOW--

NOW, REMEMBER. YOU HOLD
THE LEASH IN ONE HAND.
YEAH.

AND THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT
YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF THE DOG.
RIGHT.

NOW, LET'S TRY IT NOW.
NICE AND EASY, HUH ?
OKAY.

BRUTUS, HEEL.

HOLD HIM, HOLD HIM,
HOLD HIM.

HOLD HIM, NOW.
NICE AND EASY, HUH ?

MARK, IF YOU--
KEEP CONTROL OF THE DOG.

THAT'S RIGHT.
AT ALL TIMES.

YOU CAN DO IT.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

STAY.

WELL, WHAT
DO YOU THINK, DOC ?

[ Sighs ]
I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.

HE'S NOT CONSISTENT.

THERE SHOULD BE A PROUD
LOOK TO HIM, A DANE LOOK.

SOMETIMES HE'S FINE, AND THEN
HE SEEMS TO LOSE HIS CHARACTER.

WELL, THAT'S THE OLD DACHSIE
INFLUENCE. HE STILL THINKS
HE'S ONE OF THEM.

OH ? AND SO ALL
WE'VE GOTTA DO NOW...

IS TO FIGURE OUT
A WAY TO PERSUADE HIM
THAT HE'S A GREAT DANE.

THAT'S RIGHT, DOC.
THAT'S RIGHT.
BY TOMORROW.

[ People Chattering,
Dogs Barking ]

KEEP HIM STILL,
WILL YOU, MARK ?
YEAH, OKAY, DOC.

HEY, ARE YOU SURE
FRAN'S NOT GONNA COME IN HERE ?

NO. THE DACHSIES ARE BENCHED
CLEAR OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE BUILDING.

THE OTHER SIDE.
OKAY.

COME ON, BOY. COME ON.
HOLD STILL, WILL YA ?
DOGGONE IT.

NOW JUST RELAX, BOY.
THEY'RE DOGS, JUST LIKE YOU ARE.

WELL, NOW, LET'S SEE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER ?

IT'S FRAN.
WELL, WHAT'S

I DON'T KNOW !
SHE BELONGS
WITH THE HOUNDS.

- OH, THANK YOU.

BOY, THAT WAS CLOSE.
WELL, YOU WON'T BE ABLE
TO DUCK HER FOR LONG.

JUST LONG ENOUGH TO WIN

[ Judge ]
STACK YOUR DOGS,
PLEASE.

- HEAD UP, BOY. HEAD UP.
- [ Whispering ] MARK. MARK.

DOC, THERE'S NO SENSE
HANGING AROUND HERE.
I MIGHT AS WELL GO HOME NOW.

NO, NO.
YOU'VE GOT TO STICK IT OUT.

HEY, LOOK AT HIM.
DOC ?

WELL, NOW THAT'S
WHAT I CALL A GREAT DANE.

MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU.
WHAT'S THAT ?

WON'T HAVE YOU THROWN OUT
IF YOU TELL ME HOW
YOU MANAGED IT.

MANAGED WHAT ?
SWITCHING DOGS.

SWITCHING--
WELL, I DIDN'T !

EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE
THAT'S THE SAME DOG ?

WELL, I-IT'S A LITTLE HARD
FOR ME TO BELIEVE MYSELF.

NOW, DON'T WORRY, MARK.
YOU'RE DOING FINE.

HEY, DOC. THIS IS
MAKING ME A NERVOUS WRECK.
WHAT GOT INTO BRUTUS ANYWAY ?

WELL, HE JUST GOT A LOOK
AT THAT OTHER DANE OVER THERE,
THAT FEMALE.

SHE'S WAITING TO BE JUDGED
FOR BEST OF BREED.
