Yip, be cute. Paw, get the car started.

Spike, check the weather.

Mom, help Grandmaw wake Grandpaw up.

And I'll do the rest!

[yawns] I just had the strangest dream.
Tag was telling us about a party.

It wasn't a dream, it was real!

-[wrench cranking]

-[metal squeaks]
-[cranking]

-Testing confetti blaster thingy.
-[wrench clangs]

[party horn blows]

Confetti blaster thingy working well!

[chuckles] Very well.

Is it supposed to spray Grandpaw
every time?

No, I think confetti just likes him,
Grandmaw.

Anyway, see you at the party!

Go, dog, go!

[tires squeal]

Party in the tree, here I...

[tires squeal]

A dog I don't know? Impossible!

-Hiya, new neighbor. Welcome to Pawston.
-[yelps]

My name's Tag Barker, and I live next door

and I like race cars, and speed boats
and jet planes...

Ooh, wait. Did you tell me your name?

Scooch Pooch. I like chickens.

Nice to meet you, Scooch Pooch.

My mom and I just moved to Pawston.

We don't know anybody here,
but we do know a lot of nice chickens.

There's Harry, and Mary, and Larry,
and Barry, and Kevin...

Sorry to interrupt, buddy. Is it too soon
to say "buddy"? I don't think so, buddy.

But we're in a rush because today's
the day of the big party in the tree!

-[horn honks]
-Whoo-hoo!

-Party in a tree!
-Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

See? There's gonna be big dogs,
and little dogs,

and all the ba*ls you can chase.

[gasps, stutters]
And a dog cannon! You wanna go?

Mom? Can I go to the party in the tree
with Tag?

-Who's Tag?
-I'm Tag!

Hi, Tag. I'm Scooch's mom.

You two stay out of trouble,
and I'll meet you there.

I built this scooter myself
and it has a sidecar.

Whoa!

Ever ride a scooter on the farm?

Nope. Just a tractor. With Kevin.

Um, does this go fast?

Nah. Not really.

[engine zooms]

This is way faster than a tractor!

[horns honk]

-[bike bells ring]
-[horns honk]

See that really tall tree
way in the distance?

Here, use my bone-noculars.

[mechanical whirring]

That's where the party in the tree
will be!

-Whoo-hoo!
-[engine revs]

[horn honks]

This is the Pawston Town Center.

[chuckles] Hi, Tag.

Hi, Spike! It's where the action is.

That's the ball store.

[clunks, dings]

[chuckles] Yeah!

We didn't have that on the farm.

-[Tag] That's the doorbell store.
-[rings]

-[scooter honks]
-Hey, Paw!

Hey, Tag!

That's my sister, Cheddar Biscuit.
She's a clown.

Hey, Cheddar!

-Hiya, Tag!
-[honks nose]

We definitely didn't have that
on the farm.

[tires squeal]

-Why'd we stop?
-Look.

-[horns honking]
-[howling, barking]

[howls] Traffic jam.

'Cause there are so many dogs
going to the party! [sighs]

-Hello.
-[both] Hello!

Do you like my hat?

Um, sorry, Lady Lydia. I do not.

And you?

Um...

It's okay. You can be honest.

Okay. Then, no. I do not like that hat.

Goodbye.

[both] Goodbye.

That's Lady Lydia. She has a lot of hats.

-[horns honking]
-[howling, barking]

[sighs] We're still not moving.
What do we do?

You know, you could just wait.
Maybe the traffic will clear up.

But I wanna get Scooch to the party.
It's his first day in Pawston!

Welcome to Pawston! I'm Manhole Dog.

-Nice to meet you. I like chickens.
-[yawns]

Well, that's fun!

Sorry, fellas. But we've gotta go.
Luckily, I know a shortcut.

-[Scooch] Whoa!
-[Tag] See you at the party, Manhole Dog!

I'll see you there, then!

-[tires squeal]
-[Tag] The Pawston Hedge Maze.

Hold on tight!

[Scooch]
A hedge maze? That's the shortcut?

It is to me. I know this maze
like the back of my paw.

C'mon, Scooch.
We can take this boat to the party.

[boat horn blows]

You're gonna love this party, Scooch!

There's gonna be dancing dogs,
and jump-roping dogs,

and cake-eating dogs.
[gasps] And a dog cannon!

That's the second time
you've mentioned the dog cannon.

Yeah! Because it's amazing!

[sighs] We're still not moving.
We need a new way to go, dog, go!

[gasps] And I just found one!

[rackets thwacking]

Come on, Scooch. We're taking the blimp.

Wow. It's like a tractor in the sky.

Let's go!

[rackets thwacking]

This will get us to the party in no time!

-[howling, barking]

[howling]

Should I howl too, or...

[Maw Barker over PA] Folks! A lot of dogs
are trying to get to this party.

And we'll get you there
as soon as we can.

-Oh! Hi, Tag.
-Hi, Maw.

Your mom is the blimp pilot?

This is a lot.
[breathes heavily] I need to sit down.

No time to sit, Scooch.

Mom, could we get off here?

I wanna get my new friend, Scooch,
to this party as soon as possible.

Uh, sweetie, you might get there quicker

if you wait for the blimp
to get moving again.

Let me think about it.

Thought about it.
We would like to get off here.

All right. Charlie, Rosie,
lower the ladder.

Go, dog, go!

But, Tag. Where are we go, dog, going?

To the party in the tree, of course.

But is the tree on top of a mountain?

[wind howling]

Uh-oh.

Aw. We're still so far away.

And all the other dogs are there.

The car dogs, the boat dogs,
even the blimp dogs.

If we waited,
we would have made it to the party.

But now we're gonna miss it. [sighs]

I'm sorry, new neighbor pal.

Sorry? Tag, do you know what I did today?

I rode on a scooter, I saw circus dogs,
I went in a maze,

and took a boat ride, and a blimp ride,
and I saw the Barkapellas!

Plus, I made a new friend. You.

Thanks for making me feel so welcome.

Aw. Give me a paw, buddy.

[panting] Hello, again!

And now, do you like my hat?

Ooh! Those pinwheels remind me
of the windmill on my farm.

Scooch! The pinwheels! That's it!

It sure is! Wait. What?

Yes, what?

I know how to get to the party.
Lady Lydia, can I borrow your hat?

You may.

[blows]

[cranking]

[power tool whirring]

[clanks]

Try this on.

[whirring]

Tag! How did you do that?

Making things go, it's kind of my thing.

Now, jump on, Scooch.

And I even added
a confetti blaster thingy.

[party horn blows]

Do you like my hat?

-Yes!
-We really do!

[indistinct party chatter]

-[bouncing dog] Whoopee!
-[bouncing dog #2 laughs]

[dog]
Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

[dog #2]
Party in a tree! Whoopee!

[party horn honks]

[chomping]

Hey, you dogs.

Hey, you made it!

This was definitely worth the wait!

Look, Mom, big dogs, little dogs,

jump-roping dogs, manhole dogs.

Oh, yeah, there's that dog cannon.

Hi, Spike!

[Spike]
Dog cannon!

[Tag]
Bye, Spike.

That was awesome!

I told you, buddy.

[chuckles] Wow, what a town!

Hey, you dogs!

[silence]

I'd like you all to welcome
my new friend, Scooch,

and his mom. The Pooches.

[all]
Hi, Pooches!

"Ruff Day on the Job."

-[tires squeal]
-Scooch's house, here I come.

Scooch's house, here I am.

Scooch! Come on, buddy!

Hiya, Tag.

Hey, pal. Hop in my sidecar and let's go.

I was thinking,
maybe we could take my wheels today.

Scooch has wheels?

[chugging]

Whoa! Scooch has huge wheels.

Yep, it's my tractor from the farm.

Why are the tires so big?

Dirt roads, my friend, dirt roads.

-[clunking]
-Hop on.

Well, let's see what this puppy can do!

That's a dog joke. I'm pretty proud of it.

Hold on to your helmet, Tag.

Go, dog, go!

[chugging]

[bike bell rings]

Um, Scooch, does the tractor
go any faster?

Nope, but it does have a chicken horn.

[squawks, clucks]

That's delightful.

Ooh, dirt road up ahead!
Let's see what this puppy can do!

Same dog joke, still proud of it.

Excuse me, Mail Dog coming though.

I think that was the new Pawston Mail Dog.

[tires squeak]

Um, hello, I'm Tag
and this is my pal, Scooch.

[chuckles] Hi, I'm Gerald
and I'm hiding in a bush.

We see that. Why are you hiding?

Great question. Well...

I've been trying to deliver
this bag of mail ever since I got to town,

but every time I try, I get chased by...

-[yelps] Dogs!
-[dogs barking]

[barking]

Yeah, some dogs like to chase Mail Dogs.
Never understood why.

Um, Gerald?

Psst. Now, I'm hiding in a different bush.

I have three more pieces of mail
to deliver today,

[groans] but I'll never get to
all the houses with those dogs chasing me.

[yelping howls]

Aw, poor dog. How can we help him?

I know. We can help him deliver the mail.

Oh, really? You'd do that for me?

Of course, this is Pawston.
Helping other dogs is what we do.

Ooh! We can use my tractor.

It has a chicken horn.

-[squawks, clucks]
-That's delightful.

-[barking]
-[gasps] Ah!

But is this tractor fast enough
to outrun those dogs?

No, but it will be.

-[cranking]
-[clanking]

Welcome to Pawston, Gerald.

I think you'll find
we're the friendliest town around.

Yes, everyone seems so nice.

-Well, except for those dogs chasing me.
-[slurps]

Those chasing-pups
will never catch up to you

with these rocket-boosters.

Rocket-boosters? That sounds fast.

Really, really fast.

Um, Tag, do you wanna drive?

-[engine starts]
-I already am.

-[squawks, clucks]
-That's delightful.

Now, let's deliver some mail.

Go, dog...

Scooch, press that rocket button, please.

-[beeps]
-[fires up]

-Go, dog, go!
-[Grandpaw, Grandmaw yelp]

We still got it, Marge.

[chicken horn clucking]

[chirps]

Who's our first mail customer, Gerald?

I have a letter for Lady Lydia.

Oh, I know a shortcut.

Aah!

You could have warned us!

Sorry, I will next time.

[barking]

We've got company, furry company.

Let's see 'em try to keep up
with the tractor.

Scooch, rocket button.

-[beeps]
-[fires up]

[thuds]

We lost 'em.

Great driving, Tag!

Thanks, Gerald.

Oh, hello!

[all] Hello.

I'm Gerald, the Mail Dog.
Here's your mail, Lady Lydia.

Do you like my new hat?

Not quite.

-Not a fan.
-Maybe another?

This one?

-No.
-Not that one, either.

-How 'bout this one?
-[all] We do not.

-Oh, you must like this one.
-[all] No.

-This one. No? Mm.
-[all] No.

Do you like this one?

-Yes!
-Yes, I do like that hat.

We like that.

So do I!

I like all my hats.
Goodbye.

[all]
Goodbye.

And that was wonderful mail delivery,
Gerald. Welcome to Pawston.

Oh, that was a nice welcome.

See, Gerald?
Pawston is a very welcoming place.

Scooch, wanna drive?

Um, that's okay. Maybe later.

Okay.

-[engine starts]
-[chicken horn clucks]

Alrighty. What's the next stop, Gerald?

This one's going to
the Ding-Dong Doorbell Store.

That's my dad's store.

-[Gerald, Scooch scream]
-Whoa!

That was a shortcut.

You're supposed to warn us
before the shortcut.

Oh, right. Sorry.

Tag, look!

[barking]

They have a motorcycle now?!

[barking]

They're catching up. Oh, no! [howls]

We still have rockets.

Button me, Scooch.

-[beeps]
-[fires up]

[gasps]

[tires squeal]

[pedals squeaking]

[whines]

We made it.

-[barking]
-Huh?

But here come the dogs!

Don't worry. I'll keep 'em busy.

Hey, you dogs!

[sniffing]

-Chase this!
-[squeaks]

-[squeaks]
-[dogs barking]

Aah!

I'm not a very good thrower!

[indistinct chatter]

Welcome to the Ding-Dong Doorbell Store.
Oh, hi, Tag.

-Hi, Paw.
-And you must be the new Mail Dog.

Yep. The name's Gerald.
And I have a delivery for Paw Barker.

Ooh, the new doorbell we ordered.
Let's see how it rings.

-[rings]
-[all bark]

[chuckles] Like a charm.

Welcome to Pawston, Gerald.
Now, did you know

Pawston was discovered
almost a hundred years ago

-[screams]
-by Chewlysses Droolius Barker...

Um, we've gotta go, Paw, go.

Okey-doke.

Ooh! Gerald, I'd like you
to have this, to welcome you to town.

[gasps] A doorbell shaped like mail.

-[rings]
-[all bark]

You folks are so friendly. Thank you.

-Bye, Paw.
-[bell on door jingles]

[chuckles] I love this job.

-[rings]
-[all bark]

Boy, those dogs are fast,
but that bone will keep 'em busy.

-[squeaks]
-[growling]

Not busy enough.

Scooch, nothin' but button.

Gerald, where's
the last piece of mail going?

Oh, it's a biggie, and it's going
to the top of Mutt Mountain.

Okay, we're gonna take a shortcut.
Is that a good warning?

That was great.

When's the shortcut?

Right after I tell you this joke.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

-[both] Why?
-It was a shortcut!

[both scream]

That's hilarious!

Mutt Mountain, straight ahead.
Go, dog... [gasps]

Whoa! That's steep.

Scooch, you think the tractor can make it?

My tractor can handle any dirt road.

Great. You wanna drive?

I already am.

It's button time.

[chicken horn clucks]

Oop, that's the chicken horn.

I got it, Scooch.

-[beeps]
-[fires up]

-Go, dog, go!
-[chicken horn clucks]

Whoo-hoo!

[barking]

We're almost at the top!

[tires squeal]

Okay, this package
is for Gerald, the Mail Dog.

Wait, I'm Gerald, the Mail Dog.
And that's my house.

[helicopter approaching]

And that's a helicopter.

[barking]

They finally caught me. Oh, no!
[howls, cries]

We don't wanna catch you.

Oh, you can talk?

We just wanna ask you a question.

[clears throat] Do you enjoy presents?

[yipping]

Uh, yes. Yes, I do, very much.

-Whoo-hoo! Then, open the present!
-[barks]

[gasps] A cake!

Yep, it's from us.

We just wanted to welcome you to Pawston.

Aw, you dogs were right,
I do love it here!

All day long, dogs have welcomed me
and made me feel at home.

I am proud to be your Mail Dog!

-Welcome, Gerald!
-[barking]

Whoo-hoo! Happy to have you, Gerald.

Aah!

That's Kenny. He made the cake.
