Good Boy! Page #3

- So soon?

- It's our dream home, honey.

I can't wait to get in there

and get started.

But that's what you said

about this house, Mom,

and the house before that

and the one before that.

It's what we do, sweetheart.

You know that.

I know. I just wish we could

stay somewhere,

just once, for good.

It makes more sense financially

to live in the place

that we're renovating.

Smile.

And besides, every time we move,

we get a nicer place, right?

But this place seems

nice enough to me.

Sweetheart,

that's a lovely compliment,

but I bet you're gonna like

the new place best of all.

Honey, can you move out?

I want to get the painting by itself.

Thank you.

Good.

And this time, you won't

be starting off all alone,

'cause you'll have Hubble.

Hello. I was just...

- Where were you?

- With my mom.

Why do you care?

Why do dogs

howl at the moon?

Only coyotes do that,

but it's not the moon.

They're howling

to the Home Star.

- Sirius?

- Just to the left, two stars over.

Coyotes are

homesick cry-babies.

So when that retriever

you talked about comes for you,

you're planning

on going back with him?

This is only

a temporary mission.

Right. I get it.

I appreciate your hosting me

for the time being, but...

It's okay. I'm used to

temporary missions.

All right, class,

lesson number one.

Dignity comes from within.

On Sirius, we begin every day

with meditation,

easing gently

into peaceful poses

to achieve

a higher state of being

and release our more base

animal impulses.

Shh! Surrender.

Breathe in, breathe out.

In and out.

Relax.

Let it go.

Whoop! Pardon me.

Shep eats people food

sometimes.

How lucky for us.

This one's outta the park.

Erase all distractions

from your mind.

Hey, was that a ball?

I coulda swore

I just heard a ball.

Focus is the key

to canine composure.

- Was that a ball?

- I do believe there was a ball.

I'm pretty sure

that was a ball.

I think I need to get it.

You ain't gettin' nothin'!

Back off, boxer, it's mine!

It's my ball!

What happened?

What did I miss?

Did I miss something?

Baker!

Watch this.

- Gimme back my ball.

- I don't have it.

Why don't you talk to your dogs

and tell 'em to give it back?

Talk to 'em, dog boy.

- What a freak!

- Your dog's a freak like you.

Get him!

Don't, you guys.

- Quit it.

- Who's gonna make me?

Connie?

Whatcha gonna do now, Baker?

Call 'em off, Baker.

Call 'em off.

Just get up slowly.

Those dogs bite us,

and my dad'll sue.

Give me the ball, Wilson.

Here. But I bet they come

after you for it.

Keep it.

I don't care.

- Is this your only one?

- Just keep it.

Guess you guys don't have

any balls then.

We catch you without 'em,

you're dead meat.

You're really dead meat.

- Run, run!

- They're such total jerks.

Why do you

hang out with them?

I don't know.

We grew up together.

I could hang out

with you, I guess.

Could you watch the dogs?

I'm gonna check on Hubble.

Cool.

You all right?

Why did you step in like that?

They were

throwing rocks at you.

Sirius dogs

fight their own battles.

Why would you

put yourself at risk for me?

Because... you're my dog.

Besides,

that's what friends do, right?

You backed me up, too.

I did, didn't I?

Why would I do

a stupid thing like that?

I think they wanna

play ball.

Want this?

Is this what you want?

Doesn't your dog

wanna play?

I don't think he knows how.

Or maybe

he's not good enough.

Look.

He wants to try.

Okay. Go get it.

- I can do this.

- I got it!

What am I doin'?

- I got it!

- Wait, wait, wait.

Now I get it.

That was just practice.

- Barbara Ann got it.

- Do over.

- Let's go one more time.

- Do it again!

This one's all yours, Hub.

This one's all mine.

All mine.

- Eat my dust.

- Bad bounce.

That was a bad bounce.

Bad bounce.

You can do this.

I know you can.

Show 'em, Hub.

Show 'em what you're made of.

Let me try this

one more time.

I can do it.

I can.

I'll show 'em.

I'll show 'em.

I got the ball!

- Holy guacamole!

- Good splash!

Is he all right?

Showoff!

- Can you teach me that?

- Is that water clean?

He's fine.

Fine?!

He just took off like a 747.

Yeah, he's a good leaper,

like those dogs with the Frisbees.

Owen, dogs don't fly.

Now what is up

with your dog?

You won't believe me.

I know how to keep a secret.

Works for me.

We had an agreement.

You weren't going to tell

anybody about this.

Hey, don't blame me.

I wasn't the one who jumped

500 feet in front of her.

I was just going for the ball.

Hubble, you were flying.

We have stronger gravity

on Sirius. Ouch!

It's much bigger than Earth.

You're like an astronaut

on the moon.

You can jump higher

and farther.

I can do lots of things.

What I can't do is catch

that infuriating bouncy ball.

Wait a second. So that rock

around your neck...

is this from outer space?

We all wear them.

It's a token.

- What's it mean?

- It means... home.

- Ouch!

- Here, lay down a minute.

We have to work

on the woofer. Ouch.

- Hey, don't...

- Would you just...

That's why you got

those thumbs.

- You're a very nice person, Owen.

- Thanks.

We really should get back...

to work... woofer.

Shep, you can't fly.

You can try all you want.

You're an Earth dog.

Three, two, one...

blast off!

Up, up, and away!

Barbara Ann!

We're sort of concerned about

what he might be teaching... Wilson!

I believe I can fly!

Tony? Tony!

- Stupid thing.

- I got it.

- I got it, too.

- See what my dad built for you?

If you lived here,

you'd have your very own house.

Get back here.

39423942

Don't touch.

Must be some sort of code.

Aren't you 3942?

Oh, 3942. I'm here.

This is 3942.

- 3942. please resporhd

- I am responding.

I don't think

they can hear you.

Visitatiorh corhfirmed

Arrival of the Greater Darhe

corhfirmed

- Oh, no.

- Arrival?

- Repeat. Greater Darhe arrivirhg

- When?

- When?

- When?

Hey, it's getting late, guys.

- What was that?

- Nothing.

You all right?

You're lookin' a little pale.

No, I'm fine.

Yeah, I'm fine.

The Greater Dane

is coming here.

Oh, this is bad.

She is not going to be happy.

The Greater Dane is a she?

- Of course.

- Wow!

It's all over now.

She's going to expect

a proper welcome, a grand tour.

So? We'll do it.

- We'll give it to her.

- You don't understand.

When she sees

what I've seen here,

she'll give the order.

What order?

Come on, Hubble.

Tell me.

What's the worst thing

she can do?

Global recall.

- Global what?

- Recall.

All Earth dogs will

be ordered back to Sirius

for punishment

and retraining.

- She can't do that.

- It'll be gradual.

City by city, day after day,

but trust me, she can.

- Why would she?

- I told you.

Earth dogs are not

supposed to be pets.

All dogs... gone.

We can't let that happen.

It won't be up to us.

No, I mean,

we can work with the dogs.

You can teach them

how to give a royal welcome,

and we'll come up with something

that shows her how dogs run things.
