Oh.

- I see the groundhog.

- Good eye, tuck.

- Hello, groundhog.

We're the wonder pets.

- The wonder pets? I've heard of you guys.

You sing that song.

♪ Wonder pets, wonder pets ♪

♪ Dah da-da da-da dee

- Uh, sort of.

- Tell me, what are the wonder pets

Doing out here in the forest?

- We brought a blanket to warm you up.

- Wow, no wonder they call you the wonder pets.

You're wonderful.

Hey, look at me.

Now I'm a wonder pet.

- Hee-hee-hee. You're funny, groundhog.

- Yeah.

So are saved?

- Yep. I'm even warm,

Thanks to you guys.

- Then it looks like our work here is done.

Time to head back to the classroom.

- You should go home too, groundhog.

- Oh, I would, but I don't have a home.

- You don't have a home?

What do you mean?

- I used to have a home, but it was destroyed

By the snow and the wind a few days ago.

So now I live out here in the forest.

- That's so sad.

- Oh, don't you worry about me.

- But don't you want a home, mr. Groundhog?

- Want a home? Of course I do.

There's nothing like home.

- Linny, we have to do something for the groundhog.

We can't just leave him out here.

- But how can we get groundhog a home?

- There's lots of space in the forest.

Why don't we just look for a home?

- Good idea, ming-ming.

Let's spread out and search for a place

Where the groundhog can live.

- We'll be right back, groundhog.

- ♪ I bet groundhog could live inside this tree ♪

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- ♪ We live here already - oh.

- I found the perfect house.

♪ Groundhog can live inside these bushes ♪

Or not.

♪ They're full of skunky tushes ♪

No offense.

♪ It's the perfect place

- Excuse me, little turtle.

♪ There's just no space

- Sorry.

- That's okay, baby deer.

Thanks anyway.

- ♪ There are no houses in this forest ♪

♪ Anymore-est

- You're right, ming-ming.

All the houses have been taken.

- Hiya, wonder pets.

Why the long faces?

- Groundhog, we tried to find a house for you,

But there aren't any left in the forest.

- Well, there's one thing

You wonderful pets are forgetting.

- What?

- ♪ Here's a little fact that's sure to astound ♪

♪ Groundhogs live in the ground ♪

- Huh, that makes a certain kind of sense.

- We build our houses by digging in the dirt,

Or in this case, the snow.

- So all we need to do is dig you a house?

Stand aside, groundhog,

And I will dig for you.

Oh, hey, this ground is frozen.

- Oh, no.

It's too hard for us to dig.

- Thanks for trying, you three,

But it's really starting to snow out here.

You guys should head on home.

- Groundhog's right.

- But we can't leave the groundhog.

It's too cold to stay outside.

- ♪ This is se-wious

- Wonder pets, we have to figure out a way

To give groundhog a home.

- We already tried, linny, but we just couldn't do it.

- Just like when I couldn't lift my snowball.

- But you lifted your snowball when linny and I helped you.

- That's it.

This job is too big to do alone.

We need to ask for help.

- Huh?

- ♪ Sometimes we need to ask for help ♪

♪ We can't always do it on our own ♪

- Yeah.

♪ When things get tough

- ♪ Three's not always enough

- ♪ Some jobs are too big to do alone ♪

- ♪ We can build a home for groundhog

If we ask for help.

- But who can we ask?

- I know.

We can see if the forest animals

Will help us build groundhog a home.

- Yeah.

Let's spread out and ask for help.
