If they do really well a permanent dog is on the cards, so Brdoy resolves to j-enter the local puppy obedience show, which only allows teams, so he recruits Fred's friendly neighbor Crouch's sibling pups Moose and Fuchsia.

I didn't know Grandpa

was so flexible.

[ Chuckles ]

He must do yoga.

[ Ticking ]

- Let's go, Marley.

- Yeah!

- Whoo-hoo!

- All right. Fuchsia!

Oh, I'm impressed!

They're doing really well.

- Come on, Moose.

- Too high. Too high.

[ Screams ]

[ Chuckles ]

Well, two oat of three

ain't bad.

[ Chuckles ]

All right, Moose!

[ Insect Buzzing ]

Bag!

[ Chomping ]

No, no, no, no-

No! Oh! He ate it.

That is disgusting.

Fueled up and ready to go!

What the heck

is going on here?

What happened to my teeth?

[ Growls ]

Whoa!

[ Muffled ]

Uh-oh.

Hey! Those are my teeth!

- [ Yelps ]

- Bad dog, Marley!

[ Shouts ]

Come here, Marley!

Little bandit.

These teeth will never

be the same.

[ Growing Playfully ]

So, those aren't

his real teeth?

I know. right?

[ Both Chuckle ]

You can't tell.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, look at those guys.

How can you not love them?

Youve gotten really good

with those pups.

Thanks.

They've taught me a lot.

Hey. How come

you don't have

your own dog?

My mom doesn't think

I'm responsible enough.

Bat I'm gonna prove to her I am

with this competition,

or at least

crash and barn trying.

[ Chuckles ]

I hear you.

This puppy challenge

is super-important for us.

Really?

If the Burkaneers

can place at least second,

we'd win a cash prize

and a year's supply

of dog food.

It would help my family

keep our Love Pug Rescue open.

Your family has a dog rescue?

That's cool.

Well, here's to us

giving it our all.

Okay. All right, guys.

[ Chuckles ]

We've only got

one week left.

[ Kaycee ]

Only one puppy from the team

can compete in the pool dive.

so we're gonna have to see

which one of them

can jump the farthest.

Is that water chlorinated?

'Cause that would really

mess with my far color.

Spread oat!

I'm going big.

[ Shouts ]

Ew!

Whoa!

Hey! Watch it, Orca!

Awesome splash, dude.

Good boy, Marley.

Come on.

[ Grunting ]

Yeah. Come on.

Okay. Fine.

That was impressive.

Come on.

[ Shudders ]

[ Grandpa On Phone ]

I think you'll be surprised.

He's really improving.

Getting quite responsible.

He is? Sounds like

my boy's growing up.

[ Chuckles ]

Ow! Ow!

[ Bodi ]

It's okay.

Sweetheart, are you all right?

Yeah. I got your message.

I'm trying to change

my plane ticket...

FIXED BY BSpidey87

so I can make it back

in time for Bodi's

competition this weekend.

Oh. That's terrific.

Yeah, but don't tell him.

I want it to be a surprise.

- My lips are zipped.

- Grandpa?

mm?

- Is that Mom?

- Hello?

No.

I gotta go. Bye.

[ Chuckles ]

Moose,

you're a disaster.

Hmm.

He's gettin' better.

[ Sighs ]

He is.

Let's try one more time.

[ Chuckles ]

So we can show Mrs. Crouch

when she gets here.

Where is my paper?

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Growling Playfully ]

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Clearing Throat ]

[ Barks ]

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Whimpering, Barks ]

Your Daily Press, sir .

[ Sighs ]

''The Thunder From Down Under

to compete in Ultimate

Puppy Championship''!

- Who?

- The Australians!

Oh! I-

Ah, they must be

a last-minute entry. I-

[ Groans ]

We must beat them,

or we will be disgraced!

And lose our sponsorship.

Do you understand my meaning?

mm? Ja. Ja.

Oh! Ja.

[ Chuckles ]

I understand you

load and clear.

[ Dog Barking ]

[ Chuckling ]

Come on, guys!

- I'll race you

to the chipmunk!

- [ Fuchsia ] Hey. don't push!

The Rasta Rascals

are in the house!

What do you think?

Oar team name.

Why would you

call them that?

You know,

'cause Marley is named

after Bob Marley.

It's a reggae theme.

Oh. Well, okay.

And Mrs. Crouch is helping me

make the puppies' costumes.

She's pretty cool!

- I've been reading about

the puppy competition.

- Yeah, I know. I read it.

You're up bright and early,

aren't you?

Yep.

And you should see my bed.

[ Dog Barking ]

You could bounce a quarter

off of it.

- Let's go, gays. Gotta train!

- Hello! Who made you

team leader?

And he's off!

The crowd cheers!

Ahh! Whoo! And he's-

- Cat!

- [ Farts ]

Uh, where?

Ew!

[ Meowing, Growling ]

Uh, what's he doing?

Activate super powers.

When I walk like this,

I am invisible.

[ Laughs ]

You're kidding, right?

I can see

your furry, ugly mug

right in front of me.

Oh, man!

But I can still chase you!

- Catch me if you can!

Allez!

- Gonna get you!

- Come on, puppy!

- Hmm?

- [ Marley Grunting ]

- Alley-oop!

[ Barking. Grunting ]

Oops. Whoo!

[ Chuckling ]

Whoa!

[ Panting. Whining ]

Hey, doggie!

Is that all you got?

- [ Murmurs ]

- En garde! [ Laughs ]

[ Marley Narrating ]

Sometimes I forget

I'm just a dog.

I think I'm a superhero

and Cat is my archenemy.

But right now instead of flying

it looks like I might be headed

for a gnarly belly flop.

Hes obsessed.

He's insane.

Marley, you've gotta

control yourself.

Marley, the puppy challenge

is in two days.

We're never gonna

make it at this rate.

You're completely untrainable.

Are you sure

about that?

Did you see

Marley's dive?

If he could do that

in the competition,

you could rack up

some serious points.

- How?

- [ Cat Meows ]

[ Chuckles ]

Um, w-wait,

am I supposed to be

counting or something?

- Okay, Grandpa.

- Set.

- [ Meows ]

- Cat!

Don't even think

about it, Moose.

[ Whimpers ]

Whoa!

- [ Grunting ]

- [ Chuckles ]

Here.

That-a-boy. Mm-hmm.

[ Marley Grunting ]

I'll be back!

Thank you!

Aw, that-a-boy, Marley!

Come here, boy! There ya go!

That'll work.

Bat how are we gonna get Cat

onto a pool platform

at a dog competition?

I'm a marine.

Infiltration

is my specialty.

[ Shuddering ]

Yeah, guys.

[ Barking, Yipping ]

Come on.

Yeah!

This way.

Word!

Doggy Day Spa!

Over here.

Up, up, up!

Hey.

What's up?

- What's goin' on, baby?

- Give them the full treatment.

They have

a big competition tomorrow.

We're gonna

have 'em back tonight

looking like rock stars.

Yeah!

Swag-alicious!

- [ Laughing ]

- Be cool, man.

All right, man.

We got you.

Yo, yo, yo!

I wanna look like Pup Daddy!

[ Hip-hop, Indistinct ]

Hurry up, man.

[ Continues ]

- Take good care of 'em.

- We got you.

[ Boy Rapping ]

Marley and me

Best friends can be

- Gotta learn and grow

- Come on, man!

Taught things

I never even knew before

Accountable for actions

through interactions

Finish what we start

Give it all in your heart

Like skatin' on the street

Now my shoes

he likes to eat

unnels and jumps

all are through

as we pump out the chute

Passing through tires

Go as we desire

And pursue, we go for it

Whoa! Moose!

You've changed.

I told them I was a boy.

Yo, Tom, what's up with the bow

on the dude dog, man?

- What is up with that, man?

- [ Barks ]

Man, you're not happy.

Now that's what

I'm talkin' about.

Hey, guys,

meet my new friend.

G'day, mates. I'm Dundee.

I ran with

the Australian agility team,

Thunder From Down Under!

Cool.

We're the Rasta Rascals.

You're gonna drive

the little pups...

and I'm gonna drive

the rottweilers.
