I swear it, it's like

I work with toddlers!

Threat nullified.

I feel alive!

There's a guard.

I'll snap his neck.

We need to get away him

from that door.

- Ball!

- Ball?

Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball!

Oh, come... I'm just... I'm read...

I'm just... Oh, god! Just quiet down!

Mittens?

Bolt!

- What are you doing here?

- I'm busting you out.

You came all the way back here, for me?

Yeah.

But how did you... I mean...

You don't have any super powers.

- I know.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Wow!

- Crazy day for you, huh?

- It's been a lot. Yes, it has.

- Are you ready for this?

- No.

Me neither.

Hey, hey, hey!

What is twisting your giblets?

Hey, wait! Where did you get

that hamster?

Give it, give it.

Hey, wait!

Initiating escape!

Lloyd, block the door! Block the door!

Block the door! Block the door!

Super bark! Super bark!

Sweet Sister Francis!

What did you do my new truck?

You hold that back later!

Oh, sally Ester!

- Both you boys need serious help!

- Spicy eyes!

- We need a ride.

- I've got a big one.

You're welcome!

I can't believe it! My whole life,

I wanted to see a real live super bark.

You are legendary!

Mittens...

If... If I don't chase bad guys,

then what am I?

I mean... What...

Don't worry about it.

Being a regular dog,...

...is like the greatest gig

in the world, okay?

Look, I'm gonna let you in,

on a little secret, okay?

A little known cat secret.

You know why we hate dogs?

Because we wanna be dogs,

we have dog complexes.

But... But what are dogs do?

Slubber, sleep,

chase tails, chew shoes.

You don't exactly need

a master's degree.

You know, most dogs

living in a place like this.

And uhm... Well, I don't know,

they do things like...

Out of this? But... But...

- And this is your dog bowl.

- What is?

This! The entire floor!

It's the ground, goes to the hound.

How cool is that?

And on cold nights,

this and a ball of yarn...

Oh, it doesn't get better than that.

You... You seem to know

a lot about this places.

Yeah, I did my time in one of these, but I'm

more be an alley cat at heart, you know?

Sprung out first chance I got,

never looked back.

Rhino is awesome!

He is so awesome!

He is... He is beyond awesome.

He... He is "be awesome"!

He is... Uh!

I... I am "be awesome".

I think it's about time I introduce you

to a regular dog piece d'resistance.

- Get your head out.

- Why?

Just do it.

This...

This is awesome.

And stick your tongue out!

This is totally awesome!

Why don't you try it?

No, thanks.

It's really a dog thing.

# I have got so much to give,

# I swear I do.

# I may not have nine lives,

# but this one feels brand new.

# Yes Ive lived a good one.

# I have tried to be true.

# There are some things

I never realized,

# till I met you.

# How the wind feels on my cheeks,

# when Im barking at the moon.

# There is no home like the one youve got,

# cuz that home belongs to you.

# Here I come

# back to you.

# There is no home like the one youve got,

# cuz that home belongs to you.

# Well I was in trouble, bad.

# I was so confused.

# I may not see in color babe,

# but I sure can feel blue.

# I have been a lot of things,

# they may not all be true.

# My experience was so mysterious,

# till I met you.

# Now the sun may rise in the east,

# but Im barking at the moon.

# There is no home like the one youve got,

# cuz that home belongs to you.

# Here I come

# back to you.

# There is no home like the one youve got,

# cuz that home belongs to you.

# There is no home like the one youve got,

# cuz that home belongs to you.

# There is no home like the one youve got,

# cuz that home belongs to you.

Hey Bolt, wake up.

Come on, I've got a surprise for you.

Okay, okay, no picking.

Alright. Now, open them.

Bask in the glow, baby!

Just let me give you

the grand tour, okay?

This one, this one is mine.

And this one is all yours.

- Mittens, I... - Oh, I found this

really soft pillow thing for you.

And get this! I found some

styrofoam and I stuffed it inside...

...which I thought both kind of creative

and ironic. You know what I mean?

- Mittens, I don't think that...

- Check it out!

Total privacy

and completely sound proof!

- Yeah, well, I don't think that I...

- Okay, I lied. It's not sound proof.

- But, you know...

- Mittens, I can't stay here.

- What?

- We're one waffle away from Penny.

You still going back to her?

Mittens, she is my person.

Ouch! Ouch! Ear, ear!

Look at me, Bolt.

I'm real.

Now, how about this, huh?

Is that real?

Is this look real to you?

Or that? Is that real? Or that?

How about that, Bolt?

She is an actress.

- She is just pretending.

- Not Penny.

There is no Penny.

She is fake.

No, you're wrong. She loves me.

No, no Bolt.

That's what they do, okay?

They act like they love you.

They act like they'll be there forever.

And then one day, they pack up

all their stuff and move away,...

...and take their love with them.

And leave their declawed cat

behind to fend for herself!

They leave her...

...wondering what she did wrong.

I'm sorry Mittens, but...

Penny is different.

Then go.

- Mittens, I...

- Get out of here, Bolt!

I never should take a pitty on you.

- Oh, Mittens...

- Just get out of here, Bolt!

You take care of Mittens.

That meat lover's pizza

is not loving me back at all!

- Hey there, Rhino.

- Morning, cat.

- Where is Bolt?

- He is... Uh...

- He's gone.

- Bolt left?

Yeah, but he... Uhm... He instructed me

to tell you, that he... Uhm...

He had to face

the green-eyed man alone.

- Where are you going?

- To Bolt.

But he doesn't need us anymore.

Trust me, I've seen that

a million times before.

In the cold, dark night before the battle

when the steely fangs of evil...

...are sharpened and posed to strike...

...the hero must go and face

his greatest challenge alone.

But if Bolt's taught me anything,...

...it's that you never abandon

a friend in a time of need!

When your team mates

in trouble, you go.

Whether they ask or not, you go!

Not knowing if you're

coming back dead or alive...

He went the other way.

...you go! Knowing how deep the shrapnels

gonna pierce your hide, you go!

Penny!

No way! Wow! Bolt!

I'm really a big fan of yours, brother.

I'm Blake. This is my partner, Tom.

Tom, say what's up.

- What's up?

- Wow!

Oh, no!

And this is our

personal assistant, Billy...

...who is supposed

to wait up on the wire.

Bolt, I've been admired you such a long time

and there is something I always wanted...

...to tell you if I ever get

a chance to meet you. And now...

Okay Billy, that was horrifying

what you just did.

Why don't you make yourself useful? Go,

get me some bread crumbs. Whole grain. Go!

Whole-wheat is not the same thing

as whole grain, Billy!

- Not the same, Billy!

- Do not come out with whole-wheat!

Or pumpernickle Billy!

- Okay guys, but I really gotta get going.

- I know. I know you're a busy dog.
