You too, Trey.

- [Barks]

- OK.

Yeah, this one still

freaks me out. A lot.

Can't make an omelet

without breakin' some eggs.

- That's a good point.

- Let's get a sample.

OK.

Such a good dog.

Never give us any trouble, do you?

Nice.

Oh, my God, it's a trap.

- [Barking]

- Dogs don't set traps.

Yeah, well, dogs

don't live 300 years either.

- [Growling]

- [Woman] Get the cattle prod.

OK. That's what I'm doing,

backing up to get

the cattle prod. I have it.

- [Electricity crackling]

- [Barking]

[Woman] Watch out.

That blood's viral.

Aah!

He treats me like a ten-year-old.

- What are you thinking?

- We can prove Mr. Forrester's right.

- You wanna sneak in?

- Just follow me.

[Snoring]

It's the middle of the day.

If anyone asks,

we're looking for a bathroom.

- [Barks]

- [Gasps]

[Grunts]

- [Carly] I knew it.

- [Barks]

Let's go.

[Car engine starting]

We proved Mr. Forrester's right.

They are testing animals in there.

All right, so then,

what do we do now?

We'll take him to the media

and show them we've got this dog...

...who's got no tags or markings

that we can actually prove

came from Grant & Strictland.

Well, can we take him to your dad?

Oh, yeah, sure.

And, uh, as deputy DA,

he'll arrest us for burglary.

[Barks]

- We've searched the building.

- We're gonna keep looking.

- Really?

- We're gonna...

Same places or new places?

If the same places...

- I think new places.

- Oh, yeah? Tell me you're a moron.

- Definitely.

- Larry.

- Yes?

- Don't... don't speak.

Do you understand the great lengths

I went to to get this dog? Yes?

- Yes-or-no question.

- Well, you said not to speak...

And just 'cause he holds

the key to my future...

...so it would stand to reason

that if you don't find him,

well, [chuckles]

You won't have a future.

Right.

Why are you still standing here?

No sleeping. No talking. Find him.

[Dave] Hey, sorry I'm late, guys.

- Where's my dinner?

- [All] In the microwave.

Right.

So you guys see the trial

on the evening news?

Great shot of your dad

on channel eight. [chuckles]

So how was the parent-teacher

conference today?

[Water running]

[Sighs]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I... [sighs] Completely slipped my...

[whimpers]

There's a dog in the kitchen.

No, no, no, no. It's a dog-free home.

[Carly] Dad, stop oppressing Shaggy!

- He's got a name now?

- Yeah, it just happened.

He's so cute, and he's very smart.

They're a breeding ground for fleas.

They don't contribute to the financial

well-being of a household.

And I'm not gonna get... Oh!

It was an accident. He's really sweet

once you get to know him.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah, I'm OK.

Carly, this is precisely why,
