Good Boy! Page #5

with all of you?

Don't you know who this is?

Look sharp!

Your Majesty,

what a lovely surprise.

We were all wondering

when you were gonna get

your royal heinie down here.

Can I bite him?

I'll bite him if you want me to.

You have a lot

of explaining to do, 3942.

3942. That's my number.

I'm not here right now.

Please leave a message.

Pull yourself together, Canid.

I'm sorry.

I'm totally serious now. I'm... Sirius!

Isn't there one among you

who knows how to give

your leader a proper welcome?

Oh, you're all dog meat now.

All of you, come with me.

Earth dogs.

And you, 3942.

What a disgrace.

- What's happening?

- Nothing good.

If it makes you feel any better,

we all knew

you were gonna screw up.

- Back!

- Yes, ma'am.

Right away, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

Every rumor I've heard about our

species on this planet appears to be true.

No dominance, no dignity.

We had something formal

planned for you.

"We had something formal..."

Shut your yap!

Enough.

Your little welcome party

was highly revealing, 3942.

I have no choice but to give

the order for global recall.

No.

I've seen all I need to see.

Wait!

No, you haven't.

You haven't.

You can't take them away.

Please. Dogs mean

so much to the world,

and you haven't seen

any of that yet.

They protect us,

and they keep us company,

and they always warn us

if something bad might happen.

Some dogs even work

with police and firefighters,

and do amazing things...

things people could never do

on their own.

Some dogs even help people

who can't see by guiding them.

We rely on them for so much.

You should be proud of them,

because people love dogs.

Did you know that?

People and dogs

love each other.

I am still curious as to why

a human boy is talking with me.

- Funny story.

- You did this?

It's not Hubble's fault.

I mean, 3942.

It's not his fault.

You better step down, Owen.

I'm sorry.

But please,

think about what I said.

Love?

Here they come.

Hubble.

What happened?

She decided to go home.

Is it all over?

It's all over.

- Yes!

- You did it, Owen!

Wait.

What about you, Hubble?

Are you... here?

I'm... here.

I don't believe it.

I thought I blew it.

Where's everybody going?

I think everyone's tired.

Oh. Well, we can

celebrate later, right?

Now we can play ball, Hub.

I know it won't be easy

not going back to Sirius,

but it's not where you are.

It's who you're with, right?

Yeah.

What is it, Shep?

My pretty ladybird.

Wilson?

That's my girl.

My sweet Nelly.

Yeah, you are sweet.

What?

I know I haven't been

the most affectionate dog.

It's okay.

You're different, Hub.

I like that about you.

But I've seen the way others

express themselves to their people,

and...

I want you to know,

I do like you.

I'm just not used

to all the customs here.

Hubble, it's all right.

You just told me

you liked me.

How many people get

to hear that from their dog?

Owen. Honey.

Mom?

Honey, Miss Ryan

is at the door.

She wants to talk to you.

What about?

I know Barbara Ann's

every move.

I know everywhere

she would go.

You don't understand.

It's as if she simply vanished.

Nelly!

Nelly!

Oh, no.

You're not saying Owen

took the dogs?

No. No, no, no.

He lost his dog, too.

I just don't understand

how he could know nothing

about what happened.

Now you're moving away.

Where does that leave us?

It's not Owen's fault.

- Connie, go inside.

- He tried to stop them.

Stop who, Connie?

Who took them?

The dogs.

The other dogs.

From outer space.

Maybe it is best

that you're leaving.

It's because of all this constant

moving we've been doing, isn't it?

I'm sure it's not helping.

The deal on the house

hasn't officially closed yet.

It's not too late

to change our minds.

What do we do?

Here you go.

The movers will be here

at 10:
00 tomorrow.

- Where's your cap?

- I can't find it.

Owen, you know

we'll get you another dog.

And soon.

That's a promise.

Maybe I'm not supposed

to have one, Mom.

Don't say that.

Nobody deserves a dog

more than you.

Arhd firhally torhight.

File this urhder "Odd"

There's beerh a drastic irhcrease

irh reports of lost dogs

all over the state recerhtly

Authorities are baffled

by this rash of disappeararhces.

But say they're doirhg their best

to "srhiff out" the culprits

We' see you tomooiow n ght

Hubble, I'm sorry.

I let you down.

I should've kept quiet

up on that hill.

I hope I didn't get you

in trouble by talking.

I didn't think of...

I just didn't think.

Now everyone's losing their dogs,

and it's all my fault.

I know you can't hear me.

I miss you so much.

I never had a friend like you.

I wanted you to stay here

with me so badly.

But I...

I know you have

your home there.

I hope I didn't

screw everything up for you.

I hope they're not

being mean to you.

Because you're

a good boy, Hubble.

You are.

You're a good boy.

You are.

You're a good boy.

I have often wondered

what it was about human beings

that could lead so many

of our species astray...

what it is that makes us

abandon our drive for dominance.

Go on, 3942.

Speak.

Enlighten me.

I think it's friendship.

People and dogs

live side by side on Earth,

and they make a home together.

A home?

It seems that inspires

great loyalty.

I must ask you now...

where does your loyalty lie?

I prefer the name Hubble.

Owen, it's time to go.

Bye.

Bye.

Dad, was that

another sonic boom?

No, that was just

the movers closing the door.

Come on, buddy.

We really need to get goin'.

- Dad.

- Sorry about that.

- Pothole.

- No, that was too big of a noise.

- Owen.

- It was too big of a noise.

- Dad, stop. Wait!

- What is it?

Stop the car.

I forgot something.

- What?

- Owen!

Hey!

Owen!

Something's going on.

- Where are you going?

- The dogs!

The dogs!

- What?

- The dogs.

I know I heard it.

I know I heard it.

Please. Please.

What was that?

Now, wait a minute.

Look at that cloud up there!

- Look at that cloud!

- Look, the sky!

What is that?

Yes!

Here, boy. Over here.

- This button, right?

- You broke it.

- Don't touch that.

- I know what I'm doing!

Wait. Wait!

Listen.

Is that the dogs?

We're home!

I missed ya, Owen.

There's my main man.

- It's good to see you.

- It was a long flight.

That's the last time

I travel in a spaceship.

There she is!

There she is!

Hey there, Mama!

Hey, guys, I'm back!

Hello, Papa.

Look, Mom, he's back.

Say hi, Shep.

Are you here...

...to stay?

Yep.

The Greater Dane

declared Earth dogs

an entirely different breed.

I... really missed you.

I know.

I heard.

You heard?

I think you're

a good boy, too.

I almost forgot.

She said I could stay

on one condition.

Whoa!

Was that your woofer again?

Hubble?

Hubble.

I have so many more

questions to ask you.

How am I gonna know

what you're thinking?

Start unpacking.

- We're home for good.

- Yeah.

Hubble, good boy.

Good boy.
