[announcer] Three, two, one!

[all] Happy Dog Show Week!

This is gonna be the best year yet,

I feel it in my gut.

Whoo-hoo-hoo, yeah! It's Fou-Fou! Fou-Fou!

The Pomeranian who won "Best In Show" last year.

Oh, I know. I'm a member of her pupper-azzi.

Ooh! And that must be this year's new host, Kat Swan.

Welcome to the pack, Miss Swan!

And Fou-Fou, I love you, girl!

Although I broke my

"solid ten hours of sleep" rule for this,

I'm really glad I'm here.

Uh. Me too.

TBH, it's kinda nice to turn off

the ol' Moon Girl brain once in a while.

- Aww. Oh, my goodness! - Aww! Que preciosos!

The only threat on the agenda this week is cuteness overload.

They are so adorable I could barf.

[dogs howling]

[Pops] Hey, what's this now?

A call of distress? From man's best friend?

[Pops] I know every breed's bark

like the back of my lucky skates.

- But this one's... - [dog howling]

[whimpers]

[sighs] Different.

Hmm. No tags and he's not chipped.

Definitely not a show dog.

[dog whimpering]

Pops, wait, maybe we should take a--

- [dog growls, barks] - [Pops] Whoa!

[girls yelling]

...take him home with us!

[chuckles] Oh, oh, oh, now...

[mellow music playing]

[whimpering]

Is that dog real ugly or real cute? I can't decide.

I'm gonna name him Franklin, after my favorite dollar bill.

I don't believe it. Look! No allergies!

Sit! Not you, baby. But you. Good boy.

[barks]

- [Mimi] He is cute. - [Adria] I just fell in love.

You need your own little corner, don't you, Franklin?

- Yes, a bed! - With cozy blankets!

And the good pillow!

Yes, Lafayettes! We're dog-people now. Let's do this!

Got it!

- Wha...? - Soft and snuggly,

coming right up!

Pops, look! He-- Eee... Aww...

I swear, Franklin was just casually standing on two legs,

like he was browsing at the book store.

Well, what an interesting fella.

Interesting, yeah...

♪ Let me talk it out ♪

♪ Lately, I've been picking, picking up on you ♪

♪ Every time you come around, it's something new ♪

♪ So, let me in your mind Yeah, let me read the room ♪

♪ You know ♪

♪ All I got to say is... ♪

♪ I'm running out of patience, hey, hey ♪

♪ No more playing ♪

♪ I'm running outta, I'm running outta... ♪

[both] No, you're the cutest. You're the cutest.

[grunts] Casey, something ain't right!

This is not a normal dog. What if he's after something?

Like a nice, loving Fur-ever home?

- [Franklin barks] - Chin down, Isaac.

Like Moon Girl--

Um, lo siento, client crisis.

Hey, Lu, yeah, I can hear the gears

of your brain grinding,

but maybe this isn't about Moon Girl at all.

Sometimes a dog is just a dog.

Or is it an evil mutant or bionic robot

sent to hurt me and my precious Pops?

So what are you gonna do?

Run some complicated DNA test to prove--

I'm gonna run some complicated DNA tests to prove it!

Yup, I walked right into that. Call me after.

[gasps]

[elevator bell dings]

Ah! The results are in!

- [buzzer sounds] - Oh, not 100% canine?

These are alien genetics! Franklin's an alien!

[gasps] I gotta warn Pops!

[Franklin panting]

But first, we've got a dog alien to tail...

a Tail-ien!

[suspenseful music playing]

[Devil Dinosaur snarls]

Where are you off to, alien dog?

- [Devil Dinosaur grunts] - A whistle?

[Devil Dinosaur grunts]

I don't hear anything.

Jewelry? What's going on?

[Franklin barks]

Whoa, there's a whole pack of 'em.

Cash?

Limited Edition Beast 0-3s?

And a chicken bone!

Oh, you definitely shouldn't have that!

[howls]

He's controlling them.

- [dog barks] - [Moon Girl groans]

[growls, barks]

I got your number now, Franklin.

[elevator bell dings]

Pops! There's something you need to know about Franklin--

Shh! Hold on, baby girl, it's about the neighborhood!

I'm here on Orchard Street, where a large number of dogs

have gone missing,

along with their owners' most prized possessions.

[Franklin whimpers]

Joining me now is Bubbe Bina,

of Bubbe Bina's Knish Niche.

My beautiful Zelda is gone

and so are my grandmother's pearls!

Stealing stuff is bad enough,

but you gotta be a special kind of evil to steal dogs!

Now, for those of you who still have

precious pups at home,

there's still time to enter them

into the 84th Annual Dog Show!

[upbeat theme playing]

Dog lovers of NYC, Kat Swan here,

and we're looking for the finest--

Listen, Franklin's not a normal dog--

[barks]

[Pops gasps]

You're right... he's not a normal dog...

He's a show dog!

Wait, what?

It has always been my dream

to compete in a dog show.

And now, I finally have the perfect partner!

N-n-n-n-n-n-no.

That's right, Franklin, yes.

- No way. - Yeah, we're going to the show!

You can't. He's a bad dog!

[all gasp]

[Franklin whimpers]

I think Franklin's behind those missing dogs.

I've been observing him, collecting evidence,

plus I analyzed his DNA!

- You did what now? - The data all points

to the same thing, Pops...

Franklin is an evil alien

and is likely very dangerous!

[laughter]

What's dangerous is not giving Franklin a chance.

Whatever facts you've been finding,

you're adding 'em up wrong.

Sometimes you gotta stop living up here...

and spend some time right here.

Now, Franklin and I are competing

in that dog show, and that's that.

You wouldn't get in between an old man

and his lifelong dream, would you?

No! [scoffs] No, Pops, of course not.

Oh. Atta girl.

[Lunella] For Franklin, a dog show

is basically an all-you-can-eat buffet!

And Pops could end up being collateral damage.

I need to get into that dog show to protect Pops and those dogs.

Ugh. It's impossible to get past security at these arenas!

So unless you have something that can growl and run on all fours...

[Devil Dinosaur growls]

[growling]

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

If it's that we should use the Tincture of Tininess

to shrink down Devil and dress him up in an adorable costume

and then go undercover at the dog show,

then... yeah, I am!

Heh. This exact scenario is on my bucket list.

[upbeat music playing]

[both] Aww!

Que preciosísimo!

All right. Let's teach this old dog show some new tricks!

[chill music playing]

[rousing rock music playing]

[intriguing music playing]

So much cuteness! Oh, I can't--

- Casey, focus! - [Casey gasps]

We need eyes on the evil alien dog, now!

- [Devil Dinosaur snorts] - [Franklin whimpers]

Hey, Pops.

Now, Lu, if you're here to stop me--

Actually, I'm here to join you.

[feigned chuckle] Meet, uh--

Dennis! My dads are fostering.

[vocalizes]

A red-coated Worcestershire racing terrier?

Those are super rare!

Yep! He's... one of those.

Heh-heh! I knew you'd come around

and get in the dog show spirit.

- [door slams] - [crowd cheering]

Hello! Hello! Hello!

You-- bang trim. Ugh!

You-- more class, less tongue.

You-- where do I even... Groomer!

[whimpers]

And you need to come with me, love.

Ahh! Fou-Fou!

It's Fou-Fou!

[growls]

[growling]

[growling]

D, he's moving in on a target!

[purring]

Ugh, forget it! I'll get him.

[crowd cheering]

Chef's kiss!

Um, it turns out Fou-Fou is not very nice.

- Where's my friend? - I don't know,

but you must get out there! It's show time!

Oh, no, no. We're just here to watch.

My masterpiece cannot go to waste!

The world needs to see this.

I understand.

I shall bear this burden.

[both] I've got this.

- [crowd gasps] - Out!

[Lunella yelps]

Oh, that was R-U-F-F ruff.

But as it happens, getting thrown out

of a major convention center

is Number 12 on my bucket list.

Lunella, how could you?

The evidence doesn't lie. Franklin is no good.

What did he ever do to you?

Other than fetch your slippers and snoozle your neck.

I am disappointed in you, Lu.

What? Without me, all these dogs would have been in danger,

and who knows what would have happened to you and--

Has anyone seen my dog?

Wait, that doesn't make sense!

- [man] Ronin! Ronin! - [woman] Pipi?

- [man 1] Yofi? - [man 2] Muffin?

- Potato? Little Potato! - [man 2] Where's Muffin?

But... if these dogs are missing, then...

- [Lunella] Franklin's innocent? - [Pops] Franklin's innocent!

[Franklin] Obviously.

I have a serious bone to pick with you, young lady.

Dog pun!

[chill music playing]

[chill music playing]

Franklin is innocent, and dogs can talk?

And have a Scottish brogue?

Ha! I told you so, and I told you so!

Well, yes and no, Pops.

Totally innocent, swear to dog,

and I speak this way because it's just incredibly cool,

but your girl was right about that whole alien thing.

See, I'm kinda from a pack of intergalactic superheroes,

watching over the canine species,

aka, the Guard Dogs.

Anyway, I didn't come here to steal dogs.

I came here to save them.

Save them from what exactly?

I'm so glad you asked!

From... a plot to hypnotize dogs

and use them to steal from their people.

[vocalizes dramatic music] Dun-dun-dun!

Well, that's re-pug-nant. Who would do such a thing, boy?

Guess! Guess! Guess! No, I'll tell you.

It's Kat Swan.

Once upon a time, young Kat loved dogs.

Only they didn't love her back.

Yeah. So sorry, could you pause for a sec?

Isn't this villain backstory

sort of The Beyonder's department?

I know, right? But dude's been MIA

ever since that whole Wish-Tar thing.

Oh, I'm sorry, is the superhero space dog boring you?

Apologies. Carry on.

[Franklin] The rejections hardened into a primal wound.

So when Kat happened upon a garage sale

and found a certain dog whistle...

she was very happy.

Not only would dogs like her,

they'd do her bidding.

Kat figured, dogs have access

to everything valuable in a human's life.

And if she couldn't control their hearts,

she could control their minds,

and use that to collect an unimaginable bounty.

I just needed the perfect human partner to stop her.

Doug, our IT guy, found that you were

the number one dog show fan in New York City.

I figured you were my best shot at infiltrating the show

and getting my paws on that whistle.

I was this close to stopping Kat the other night...

but someone was tailing me,

and she slipped through my paws!

Heh. Oops. Franklin, I am so sorry.

I misjudged you completely. I feel awful.

Lu, even when you're not right, you can do no wrong in my book.

But I put every dog in that convention center in danger.

Oh, no, you didn't.

You put every dog in New York

and parts of New Jersey in danger.

That Kat's gonna blow that whistle on live TV!

What?

Well, that is not happening!

Not on my live dog show broadcast!

Casey, whaddya say we call Moon Girl for help?

Absolutely! I'll ping her right now! Pinging!

Okay! And I'll... get the authorities!

[chuckles] You-- pack it up.

You-- light my good side!

And you-- mic me up. We're on in five.

Okay, we're in position.

We're gonna need to bypass check-in.

Emergency selfie stick order for a Kat Swan.

[upbeat music playing]

Wait. I need a new dog.

- This one's too cute. - [dog whimpers]

It'll pull focus.

- [dogs bark] - No. No.

- [barks] - Okay.

Ready. Roll camera!

[Moon Girl screams, grunts]

There she is!

[Franklin] Get that whistle!

- [Kat Swan grunts] - Oh! Miss Swan! Oh!

No!

[high-pitched whistle blowing]

[dogs barking]

Hey, that's my purse!

[woman] My diamond necklace!

[woman 1] Hey!

[laughs] "Dog is man's best friend."

Ha! With a single blow of this whistle,

they just turn on a dime.

There's no true bond.

That's not true. Tell me that's not true!

Of course it's not true!

- But what do we do now? - It can be reversed!

We just need that whistle!

Fetch me if you can!

The whistle, Franklin!

Only those with the purest canine love

in their hearts can reverse this.

Blow, Pops, blow!

[high-pitched whistle blowing]

[dogs barking]

[gasps]

[Kat Swan grunting]

Zelda! My shana madela! Mommy loves you!

Gorgeous! I love that angle. Kisses. Can I get a testimonial?

Look at that. The sacred bond. Reinstated.

Oh, hey! There you all are!

Lu, you missed it!

Moon Girl came and it was a whole show down!

And they even gave us Best in Show!

Wow! That's amazing!

Heh, so, whatcha gonna do with that one?

[Franklin] We're taking her back to my planet,

for a dose of some much needed puppy therapy.

- [Kat Swan] Ew! - Again, Franklin,

I am really sorry for everything.

I'm just grateful I got to spend time

with the best humans on Earth.

Especially you, Pops.

So, I, uh... I guess this is goodbye?

I wish I could stay, but... I gotta get back to my post.

But whenever you need me, I'll come.

Like a good boy.

You handled the whole

Franklin's-an-alien thing pretty well.

I'm just happy he told me the truth.

When you really care about someone,

you wanna love them for all of who they are.

No secrets.

Now, let's find Fou-Fou.

I need to get a paw-tograph!

She should be askin' for your paw-tograph!

Mr. Best in Show!

[both laughing]
