My name is Tyler Austin,

And this is my dog...

his name is... Dog

I know that may seem like

a weird name, but...

when I was little,

that's what I used to call him.

So, my Mom and Dad

started calling him Dog too

Dog's been around

since as long as I can remember.

We love doing everything together.

He also likes to play fetch,

chase cars, dig holes in the yard:

oh, and he can do

some pretty cool tricks.

I've heard that dogs

are man's best friend.

Well, Dog is not

only my best friend.

He is the greatest friend

I could ever have

and nothing can in the world

ever replace him

Happy Birthday

to the Greatest dog in the world.

Aw, man.

I spelled Birthday wrong.

Where were you on that one?

All done... Time for bed.

Twelve oh seven.

You know what that means?

It's officially your Birthday

Technically,

I can give you this now.

Come on Dog.

Come on. Come on.

Happy birthday Buddy.

I love you.

Good morning, Dog

I know what Want.

You wanna go outside,

don't you boy?

Well let's wake up mommy, huh?

Hey, Mommy?

- Good morning.

- Morning we have a visitor.

Good morning Dog!

- It's his Birthday Today.

- Oh, that's right.

- It is his birthday today.

- Gimme kiss. Kiss.

Go take Dog outside

sso he can do his business.

- C'mon, I'm gonna get breakfast ready.

- Oh, it's early isn't it?

It's early.

Rise and shine honey.

Let's get that fixed this week.

Yes, dear.

Hey Tom can you put that stuff away,

please? Breakfast is almost ready.

I'm on the verge of figuring

this thing out.

Put it away.

Later, please.

Oh. Hey, dog.

Thanks, for the paper buddy.

I'll tell you what sweetheart

This one is gonna make you proud.

We're talking front page news.

I'm proud

of my super genius husband

- Newsflash. No.

Dog, go get Tyler?

Just give me a more minutes.

Here, go play with squeaks.

Ok. Ok, I'm up.

Not at the table.

Please let me eat with you. I love you all

so much, and besides, it's my birthday.

Tom.

- Oh, listen to your mother.

- Sorry, boy, down.

What's going on with that

super-secret project of yours?

- It's going pretty well.

- So, what's the surprise?

- It's a surprise.

- Very cute.

It's a video I made.

Hey, I want to show it tonight.

Can I borrow your projector?

I want it big.

Course you can It's up in the attic.

I have to get to the office.

- You don't want to be late for work.

- I won't

- And you don't be late for school.

- I won't.

May I be excused?

Yeah.

- Can I have soda with my lunch?

- Sure you can.

- Can I skip school today?

- Sure.

Tyler?

I'm looking in the attic.

Trying to find your projector.

- C'mon, we're gonna be late.

- Okay.

Can you please be quiet?

I can't concentrate.

Tyler!

Here you are.

C'mon dog. C'mon.

C'mon.

Tyler, c'mon.

- Yes, Dad. Coming.

- There you are.

Did you find it?

- Yes.

- Great.

- Did you put the ladder away?

- Yup.

Way to go son, we're off.

What'ya working on?

- Can you keep a secret?

- No.

It's a high end power source that

continually charges itself using kinetic energy

Oh.

Basically,

it's a recharging super battery.

Oh, yeah. I... I knew that.

Hey I've been working

on solar powered scissors.

Oh? Yeah.

So, instead of using your hands,

they'repowered by the sun?

Well, uh, you still need your hands,

but... you know the motor helps you.

Gotcha!

- Hey, what's this?

- Hey!

That is a robot.

And, if my calculations are correct,

once install the

self-charging super battery...

like so.

It should never run out of power.

Never?

- In theory.

- Okay. Let's give it a go.

Brandish your safety goggles.

Oh... That's pretty bright.

- That's pretty bright.

- Yes.

Uh oh.

Uh oh.

Uh oh.

Tom!

- Is it supposed to do that?

- Okay. No!

- Do something Tom!

- Would you give me my arm back.

Think I'm gonna stick to my scissors.

Jiminy jumper nuts.

It'd work perfectly if it would stop

making stuff blow up.

Mr. Willis. Get back to work.

- Well, if it isn't...

- Tom Austin.

- Yes, Tom, how are you?

- I'm, I'm great Mr. Willis,

what brings you down here?

Well, I'm just doing my monthly check in

to see what all my money's paying for.

- Do you have anything good?

- Solar powered scissors.

- What?

- Barry Melch.

- Yes I know Belch.

- Melch.

- What are you yapping about?

- I just wanted to show you these.

Solar powered scissors.

Solar powered scissors?

Seriously Belch? It's called Epic Industries,

not as seen on TV Industries.

- Well, I think if you'd...

- Get back to work. Go clean something...

- that's what lab assistants do, isn't it?

- Yes sir.

So, what do you have for me, Tom?

And don't tell me a solar powered spatula.

Sir...

Stop that.

I told you to stop.

It's creepy.

It's nothing like that sir.

- Actually, what it is...

- Self charging super battery.

- Belch!

Is Belch, right?

Self charging super battery?

Actually, that is correct sir.

Brilliant!

I knew you were a genius!

Hiring you was the best decision

I made for this company.

Almost, there's just a few minor

over heating issues.
