[dog whimpering]

Scout!

Good evening,
Professor Shepherd.

Give me back my dog, General.

Certainly. Just as soon as
the prototype is loaded

and you've handed
over the blueprints.

[Scout whimpering]

Well done.

All secured,
General.

Thank you,
Groomer.

[Scout whimpering]

It's been a pleasure.

Your dog has a
very devoted master.

Enjoy.

[Scout barking]

I'm here, Scout.
I'm here.

[Scout whimpering]

What?

[General Parvo on tape]
'Professor, it seems
you've been had.'

[beeping]

[intense music]

[grunting]

[expl*si*n]

[instrumental music]

[seagulls squawking]

[dog whimpering]

Alright, Fluffy, alright.

Go chase the rabbits,
but don't go far.

It's almost supper time.

[barking]

[Fluffy barking]

Yeah!
Right on time.

Supper's all ready.

I'm comin', Fluffy.
I'm comin'.

[growling]

Fluffy? You've gotten
into somethin'.

[growls]

It has begun.

[howling]

[The Master]
'Exile, you have been chosen.'

[howling]

[growling]

[whimpering]

[distant howling]

[The Master]
'Colleen, you have been chosen.'

[howling]

[snoring]

Huh!

[The Master]
'Shag, you have been chosen.'

[whimpering]

'Yes, you.'

'Now come.'

[grumbling]

'Shag, now.'

[barks]

[instrumental music]

[engine cranking]

Good.

[growling]

Ah-h-h! Nice dog!

[man screaming]

[man yelling]

[distant howling]

[The Master]
'Blitz, you have been chosen.'

[howling]

Well, these are
the last two to go.

Oh! Finally got word
to put the crazy one down, huh?

[male guard]
Yeah.
Say goodnight, Muzzle.

[snarling]

'Ah, same for the mutt.
His time's up.'

'He's been here six weeks.'

[barks]

[female guard]
'No, it's not time
to play, fella.'

'Come on.'

[whimpers]

Hey, knock it off, you two!
Let's get this over with.

Hey!

Should I go after him?

Yeah, but let's get
rid of this guy first.

[whimpers]

[distant howling]

[The Master]
'Hunter, you have been chosen.'

[whimpers]

'Leave, Hunter.'

'Save yourself
while you still can.'

[Hunter barking]

- Oh!
- Hey!

Aah!

[dramatic music]

[howling]

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[The Master]
'The time has come, my pets.'

'The transdogmafier will
change your pure canine forms'

'to a new species,
called "Cano-sapiens."'

This is, how we say in Siberia,
totally neato.

Oh! Look at me.

I'm so handsome
I could kiss myself.

In fact, I think I will.

[kissing]

Well, I'm not crazy
about the color

but I abso-lumen-lutely
love the boots.

[whimpering]

Huh!

I would not
have predicted this!

No way.

[howling]

Greetings, Road Rovers.

[all]
Greetings, Master.

Welcome to Road Rover
Mission Control.

'Today, you'll be sent
on a vital mission.'

[in unison]
Yes, sir.

But first, I want you to greet
the members of your pack.

[in unison]
Yes, sir.

- Well, hi.
- Hello.

- Nice to smell you.
- Nice to meet you too.

[indistinct chattering]

[sighs]
Perhaps, I should've
considered cats.

- Ahem!
- Yes, sir.

You have all been chosen
for your special skills.

'Hunter, for his super speed.'

You're out!

'Blitz, the Doberman,
for his powerful jaws.'

'Colleen, the Collie,
for her cunning and agility.'

Hello there,
pretty dog-girl.

Hi-yah!

Oh! Dreadfully sorry.

'Exile, the husky,
for his strength and vision.'

I can see you.

'And Shag, the sheepdog,
for his incredible bravery.'

Well, I got four
out of five right.

So sue me.

Oh! Poor fellow.

He hasn't become
very human, has he?

Hey, don't sweat it, Shag.

Muzzle hasn't become
human at all.

Ah! Isn't that right, Muzzle?
Yeah, you're crazy, aren't you?

Yeah, okay, bye-bye.
Buddy of mine.

Cool, don't you have
the most interesting friends!

I know. I'm just
lucky that way.

[The Master]
'Road Rovers, here's
your first assignment.'

'Yesterday in Camden, Maine'

'a c*ck spaniel
turned into this.'

[growls]

[whimpers]

'A few hours later
in the same town'

'this is what happened
to a Dalmatian.'

[growling]

[growling]

Wow, who's cleanin'
up after them?

I would find great enjoyment
biting them on the tushies.

Don't be a weird boy.

[The Master]
'This morning, those two
commandeered a freight train'

'carrying an experimental
gene-splicing device'

'called
"The Molecular Stabilizer."'

In the wrong hands, this
could be a dangerous weapon.

These monsters must be stopped.

So, Rovers, do you
understand your mission?

[in unison]
Yes, sir!

'Do you realize
you'll face great danger?'

[in unison]
Yes, sir!

Do you realize that some
of you may not return alive?

Uh..

Uh, come again?

Some of you may perish.

Perish?

Whoa, as-as in perish?

Uh, check please.

[indistinct chatter]

I definitely
should've considered cats.

[Blitz]
'Hey, out of my way.'

[indistinct chatter]

Rovers, report
to the launch area.

But wait a minute,
if we're putting our lives

on the line,
what's in it for us?

For your services, I will give
you each three meals a day

a weekly bath, and a carpet
by the fire where you can sleep.

'Do we have a deal?'

[indistinct chatter]

- Hey!
- Carpet by the fire?

Change it to a sofa.

You will stay off the sofa!

[whimpering]

Okay, okay.
Off the sofa, yeah.

The carpet's fine,
alright.

And if you succeed, I will do my
best to find each of you a home.

[all]
Aah!

It's a deal.

We're off.

[Road Rovers howling]

Exile, Blitz, Shag,
take the Sky Rover.

You betcha, comrade.

[Blitz]
Come on, my boy.

Colleen, we'll take
the Street Rover.

Roger, Hunter!

[Muzzle grunting]

Muzzle, you
hold down the fort.

[whimpers]

Hey, don't worry, pal.
We'll be back.

Uh, you knowing how
to fly this thing?

Not a clue!

Heh heh! Me neither.

Oh boy! This is
going to be fun-ski.

[whimpers]

Right!
All buckled up.

Then let's hit
the road, Rovers.

Hey, what gives?
It's not moving.

You, ah, have to turn
the ignition key.

Oh! Right.
Duh. Ha ha.

vroom

Let's hit the road,
Rovers!

I should've Scotchgarded
the seat covers.

Yippee ki-yay ki-yes!

vroom

So, how do you like
my driving?

Let me put it this way,
I hope the airbags work.

Oh, thanks.
That's nice.

Hello,
what have we here?

'Oh, cool!'

Don't be snow-poking, Exile.
Snare faster.

Bolshoi! Everybody's
always rushing me!

[growling]

April-day! April-day!
We're going down!

Don't you mean Mayday?

May, June, July, who cares?
We're in deep doggy donuts!

Wow! You two look
much bigger on TV.

[growling]

Blimey!

[screeching]

[sighs]

'Oh, super!
The airbags do work.'

[growling]

I know you're out there.

I know you created
these monsters.

'I know it's you, Parvo.'

I understand dogs.
I understand their qualities.

Their strength, their loyalty.
Canine loyalty.

Control that, and you can
control the world.

It's ready, General.

Good, let 'er rip.

It took me a solid year

to get this cano-mutator
into operation.

[growling]

Beautiful!

Argh!

Yip!

But unreliable.

Get rid of him. Bah!

I need that Molecular Stabilizer
to make the effect last.

Then I'll create an entire army
of soldiers. Cano-mutants.

Powerful, vicious.

And above all,
permanently loyal to me.

Soon, all will call me Master!

[General Parvo]
'Groomer,
what's the good word?'

[Groomer]
'The train
is coming, General.'

[General Parvo]
'Huh! At last.'

And there's
a slight problem.

What?

'No!'

This can't be!

More cano-sapiens.

Only one other person
knew the technology

and he's long gone.

Or is he?

[snarling]

Aiyah-akhiga!

Chope!
Shih Tzu!

Heel!

Rin! Tin! Tin! Hiyah!

Roll over!
Play dead!

Ai-yah-yah-yah!

[thud]

Unh!

Was the "Ai-yah-yah-yah"
part from Karate?

No, from Benihana's.

Argh!

Let the biting begin!

Ugh-aah!

We have the box with that
molecular gizmo, Master.

[The Master]
'Good dogs.'

Yeah, but our friends here
aren't too happy about it.

What do you want us to do?

'Listen carefully.'

Ah huh huh huh!
I am too young to die.

And far too pretty.
Huh huh huh!

[snarling]

Freeze!

[growls]

I love being Road Rover.

I didn't know
you could do that!

Me neither!

Must've contracted
it during Cold w*r.

You are both
lucky stiffies

I did not bite
you repeatedly.

[growling]

[whimpers]

Ha ha! I was just
joking with you.

[Hunter]
Put him down.

This is what you want?

No, Hunter, don't
give it to them.

Give it to them!
Give it to them!

I don't think
we have a choice.

Shag!

Argh.

[sighs]
We've let the Master down.

Not really.

Hello!

'If we have
the Molecular Stabilizer'

'what'd you give them?'

'A little present
for their leader.'

[roaring]

Ah! It's ours at last.

Now my cano-mutants will rule.

[Road Rovers howling]

[General Parvo]
'Parvo, every dog
has it's day.'

I'm having one of those
funny deja vu feelings.

[expl*si*n]

thud

To the power of the pack.

[howling]

[snarling]

They think they've won.

But from the ashes,
I will rise again.

[coughing]

Ah! I'm glad I went
with dogs after all.

You've done well, Rovers.
You're good, good dogs.

You'll be called
again to serve.

But until then,
enjoy your new homes

as the pets of world leaders.

Exile in Russia.

Colleen in England.

Shag in Switzerland.

Blitz in Germany.

And Hunter in the White House.

But always remember,
that deep inside every dog

is a Road Rover.

[barking]

[Muzzle whimpering]

Now as for you, how'd you
like to stay here with me?

Keep me company.

Urh?
Urh! Urh!

You would?
That's great.

[Muzzle grunting]

Welcome home, Scout.
Welcome home.
