- I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again.

- Make sure that it doesn't.

- Cole, we'll talk about this in the morning.

- Yes, sir.

And your father wants

to see you immediately.

That was pretty cool of you back there,

takin'the hit for Courtney.

That was pretty cool of you back at that party.

I don't know what we would have done without you.

Yeah, well, I'm glad I could help out.

I've never seen Courtney

laugh like that.

Yeah, I have a feeling things are gonna

start changing for the better.

- It's just the pressure of bein' the First Daughter.

- Who could blame her?

Yeah. Now if only Daisy

was that simple to figure out.

Wait a minute.

Maybe Daisy is that simple.

I can't believe it. It's been right

under my nose the entire time.

Oh, you are a genius!

I... didn't...

say anything.

Daisyl

Daisy!

Where could she have gone?

Daisy!

Daisy!

Come on, girl.

Dais-

Rosie, I have been looking for Daisy all

over the place. Have you heard anything?

I might have heard a few things,

but I can't say.

- What? Why not?

- I gave up gossiping. I am a changed chinchilla.

Rosie, that's not gossiping.

That's helping out a friend.

Hmm.

Here. I think we should conclude

with this paragraph right here.

You guys, Daisy's gone.

She ran away.

What?

Well, let's go find her.

Cole, we have a presentation

due in two hours for the chief of staff.

It's just a dog.

Just a dog? You know what? If that's really

what you think, then I feel sorry for you.

And I hate to break it to you, but some

things are more important than your career.

Come on, Maya.

There's Courtney!

Courtney! Courtney!

I've been looking for Daisy everywhere and

none of the other animals have seen her either.

I think she ran away.

- What?

- I can't find her anywhere.

- Don't worry. We'll help you find her.

- Let's go this way.

Okay. Bruce,

you head out north.

Horacio, Monkey,

you guys go south.

Chinchilla, keep your ear to the ground.

Lucky, you're with us.

Leave no stone unturned.

We've got to find this dog.

Yes. We go south!

I have no idea which way is south.

Follow me.

One thing this bird's got is G.P.S.

- You got it, baby.

- Game on!

Okay. Let's go.

Hey. Mind if I tag along?

I figured you could use

all the help you could get.

Thanks.

Come on.

Daisyl

- Daisy! - Daisy!

- Here, girl!

Daisy, come on!

- Daisy! -

Daisy! - Daisy!

We've been looking for hours.

It's no use.

There's a thousand acres here.

She could be anywhere.

- Anything, Lucky?

- Mm-mmm.

Reporting in from units two and three.

No sign of the pooch.

Courtney, is there anywhere

she would have gone?

A special place, somethin' like that?

Think hard.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Wait.

I have an idea.

We used to play here

all the time when I was a kid.

- There she is!

- Wait.

Can I have a minute

alone with her?

Come on. Trust me.

Okay. We'll meet you

back at the ranch.

- Hey, girl.

- Go away.

Daisy, I know it's a lot of pressure

being the First Dog.

You can rebel all you want, but you can't

run away from who you are. None of us can.

I just want things to be

the way they used to be.

When he was governor,

we were a family.

We would spend time together, play fetch,

go jogging, but now everything's changed.

It's always the cameras, meetings, events,

and I'm just a political prop.

You are so much more

than that, Daisy.

You are an inspiration

to the people of this country.

And there's not many animals

or people who can even say that.

I don't want to be

an inspiration.

I just want to be...

a dog.

Daisy, come here. Come here.

Come here, girl.

You are a dog-

an amazing dog-

and you have a family

that loves you very much.

But the thing is, every family has its own

set of problems, its frustrations...

and we're always wishing

that things were different.

But what if, instead of running away

from who we are...

we just started

embracing it.

You're right, Maya.

You're right.

You sure they're gonna be

all right out there?

I think we have

to trust her, Dad.

Hey, hey,

look, everyone!

Oh, Daisy!

Come onl Come on, girl.

- Daisy! Come on.

- Oh, good girl.

Yeah.

Don't you ever run away like that again.

You scared the daylights out of us.

I think Daisy is finally ready to talk,

if you guys are ready to listen.

Come on, girl. I've got

your favorite treats inside.

- Courtney and I also had a talk this morning.

- Oh?

She told me everything: About the party,

about how you covered for her.

Gave us an opportunity for our first

really good talk in a long time...

thanks to you, Maya.

I'm glad I could help.

Excellent work, Maya.

All right, everybody,

we have a state dinner to prepare for.

# Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa #

- #Someday #

- #I'll buy an old car #

- #Mmm #

- #Someday #

- #I'll get that car to start #

- #Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh #

#Mm-hmm and then someday #

#Imagine all the things

I could do #

- # Whoo #

- #Someday #

- #I'll get that car to start #

- #Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh #

#Someday #

#I'll learn how to drive too #

# Yes, I will now

And then someday #

#Imagine all the things I could do ##

Your Highness,

thank you for coming.

It's my great pleasure

to welcome you to Sterling Ranch.

Mr. President,

it is indeed my pleasure.

I look forward to a fruitful

and productive visit.

You must be tired from your travels.

My staff will show you to your quarters...

and I look forward to seeing you

this evening at the dinner.

Thank you,

Mr. President.

We've got our work

cut out for us.

Ladies and gentlemen, please rise.

Ladies and gentlemen,

His Royal Highness...

Prince Tharoor

of Kalampore.

- Your Highness, welcome.

- Mr. President.

May I present my daughter,

Courtney.

My daughter,

Amina.

I'm so nervous.

- It'll be fine. You've done everything you can.

- It's gonna go great.

- Hi, Maya! Hey, it's us.

- Ay, beautiful fiesta.

I wanna go. I wanna go.

I wanna go!

Put a cork in it, Bonzo.

It's a people party.

Alas, my life story.

And now, the First Dog,

Daisy.

Where is she? Where is she?

- Ohl There she is.

- There she is.

We are pleased

to meet you, Daisy.

The Kalampore National Anthem.

She's so cute.

Hold on.

Yes?

Everything's under control.

I have something that'll make those bad oysters

I gave him in Kalampore seem like high tea.

After tonight, there's no way the prince

will sign that agreement.

The only document

linking me to this deal...

is locked in a safe

in my office.

I assure you, Mr. Dunsmore,

that rain forest is history...

and you and I

are going to be very rich.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, the chief is a rat!

I gotta do somethin'.

I gotta tell somebody.

Oh, if only I could leave

this house, but I can'tl

All right. Okay, if I leave this house,

what's the worst thing that's gonna happen?

Okay, people will think

that spring is early.

But I'm not the only groundhog.

It's not all on my shoulders.
