The Dog Who Saved Christmas Page #4

He's a little older than Kara,

probably four or five years...

not really sure.

But great kids, great kids,

dog lovers all the way, buddy.

Zeus:
Sounds like my kind

of people.

And of course my wife Belinda...

she's awesome.

And, oh, the apple strudel

is to die for.

Ooh, strudel... last time I had strudel

I was sick for a week.

You're probably gonna get into that

one way or the other.

Oh, and not to mention

a ginormous backyard, buddy.

Oh, now you're talking, Georgy.

Now you're talking.

We'll be out there playing

every day.

Gonna be great.

Oh, bells on Zeus's tail singing,

making Christmas right

Zeus is going home with the Bannisters

for a lovely Christmas night, hey!

Oh, Zeus,

one thing before we go in...

Belinda... a great lady.

She just has a few things

she doesn't care for.

She doesn't like snoring.

She doesn't like

when you leave the toilet seat up.

And she definitely doesn't like

when you chew with your mouth open.

Got it. Except for the whole

chewing-with-your-mouth-open thing.

I don't think I can swing that.

So as long as you don't do

anything I do,

you're cool.

She's gonna love you.

I hope so, Georgy.

I'd hate to go back to that pound.

Okay, let's go.

Hey, everybody, look what I got.

- A dog!

- A dog!

- A dog!

- This is gonna get interesting.

(laughing)

All right, Dad.

- George:
Look what we've got.

- Kara:
Daddy got a dog.

- How are you doing, buddy?

- Isn't he great? His name is Zeus.

Zeussy?

Zeus:
You know,

like the Greek god.

Yeah, just Zeus, honey.

- Hi.

- Hi. Can I talk to you for a minute?

- Sure.

- In the kitchen.

Oh, inside? Yeah.

They love him already.

- Uh-oh, it's the kitchen talk.

- That's not good at all.

Uh, something tells me

Georgy forgot to clear me with the missus.

George, you promised you wouldn't

buy a dog until we talked.

Yeah, and I didn't break that promise,

boy scout's honor.

I didn't buy the dog.

I adopted him.

Oh, George.

I know, I know,

but it's that time of the year

when you take care

of the less fortunate.

He was homeless, Belinda.

And he reminded me so much of Duke

that I couldn't even resist.

I know that you had to put

your childhood dog to sleep

and you have been traumatized

ever since.

I'm not traumatized. And don't make it out

to be more than what it is.

The kids wanted a dog,

so I just thought...

Exactly. You thought.

You completely disregarded

what I said.

This is about the protection

of our home,

not about you making up

for some childhood loss.

That hurt.

For your information,

I am thinking about

the protection of our home.

Oh, you are?

He is a certified,

award-winning

K-9 police dog.
