stay together.

I've stumbled upon the answer,

and it doesn't even matter...

that I'm a hairy-knuckled

grownup with back pain.

Ooch!

In fact, it works

to our advantage!

You're kidding!

Of course, I won't be sleeping

at the bottom bunk anymore...

but I promise I'll tuck you in

and tell you a bedtime story...

before I settle in to watch

the 9:
00 news with...

Mary Lou.

Who?

You know. Your mom.

Oh, he cleaned his plate

so well.

I can see myself!

I know who Mary Lou is...

but why would you be

watching the news with her?

And why is she dancing around

with your dinner plate?

Unless...

Oh, no!

Oh, yes!

Isn't it perfect?

She likes me,

I've always loved her.

You and I still

get to be together.

Climb up on my lap, sonny boy,

and call me Daddy!

Are you crazy?

You can't be my dad!

You're my dog!

Hey, people change.

Come on, it'll be great.

I'll teaclh you Ihow to slhave.

take you fislhing...

Ihollen at youn

little league coaclh...

wlhen Ihe doesn't

play you enouglh.

Maybe I'll even get ya

a little puppy.

Mister,

you are out of control.

What? You gonna send me

to my room?

I think that's my job, son.

No! No, this is not OK with me.

You have to stop

liking my mom right now!

Oh, in all fairness, son...

I believe Mary Lou should have

something to say about this.

And stop calling her Mary Lou!

And stop calling me son!

I command you, as your master!

Former master, Leonard!

I'm not your dog anymore!

Well, I sure as heck

am not your kid!

So maybe you'd just better

leave me and my mom alone!

You... want me to go?

But... what about us?

You and me?

A friend needs a friend.

That was a different us.

Yeah. I guess it was.

Wait a minute.

Yeah?

I paid for that collar

and dog tag...

with my own allowance.

But...

You don't need 'em.

You said it yourself.

You're not my dog anymore.

I'm sorry

I have to interrupt...

this musical moment,

Mary Lou.

I guess I'll never

see you again.

# It's time for me to go #

- # Oh, me, oh, my, oh, no #

- # I've never been so low #

# Oh, where did my dog-man- #

# Go! #

# I gotta go,

I don't know where #

# I only know #

# My former friend

is now my foe #

# He couldn't stand

the status quo #

# I said I'd stay,

but he said no #

# And now, doggone,

this dog is gone #

# I'm movin' on #

# I gotta go! #

# Like a dream,

he was here, and now he's gone #

# He drank my coffee,

ate my candy #

# Dreaming I could stand

by my Manly-Manning man #

# I thought everything

was fine and dandy #

# Why did he go? #

- # I'm gone #

- # Don't go #

# Oh, no,

what have I done? #

- # Oh, no #

- # I kicked him out #

# He took the keys

to freedom #

# Now he's going,

now he's going #

# Now he's gone #

# My lovely dog-man #

# Oh, precious,

pretty dog-man #

# Dear itty-bitty dog

I made a man #

- # Where have you gone? #

- # He took the keys #

# You held the key

to my success #

# I'm no one's pawn #

- # He's gone #

- # Was I a yawn? #

# I'm moving on #

# Find him! #

# Where did you go,

dog-man? #

# We gotta go where

you have gone, Spot #

# We gotta know, dog-man #

# We wanna know

where you have gone, Scott #

# We gotta go there, too #

- # I'm gone #

- # He's going, going #

- # I'm moving on #

- # Here comes the sun #

- # Come on, let's run #

- # You weigh a ton #

# Pardon the pun,

but I am going #

# Without knowing #

# There's a place

where I belong #

# Where he's gone #

# I'm movin' on #

# Where did you go,

dog-man? #

# Where did you go, dog-man? #

# He's gone #

Well, that was strange.

Aaah!

Whoa-

- Aaaah!

- Aaaah!

- Ohh!

- Ohh!

PRETTY BO Y. We made it.

We made it!

Florida at last! I told you

we were small but mighty!

MAN. Helh Ihelh Ihelh.

Missed it by that much.

BO Y. Spot. come Ihene. boy!

Leonard?

Aww...

Now, remember,

Lenny-benny-beanbag...

you're to meet me

at the awards ceremony...

- at 6:
00 sharp, you got it?

- Whatever.

Aww, honey-bunny-boombox...

I know you miss your dog

and your best friend...

but we're going home

tomorrow...

and Spot and Scott'll be

there waitin' for you...

and everything's gonna

be peachy-pie normal...

and just the way it was. Mwah!

Right. Just the way it was.

Florida, schmorida!

It's just Jersey

with palm trees!

Well, I suppose most people

don't arrive by garbage truck.

On a more positive note...

I don't think there's anything

in the world...

I'll ever fear after this.

It's a monster!

Hey!

It's just your reflection.

Oh. Aah!

It's me! I look hideous!

No argument there.

I'm goin' up

for a bird's-eye view.

Dog-man!

Where are you?

My, oh, me, it's

a rain-a-roony-doodle day!

Whoo-hoo!

Bada-bing, baby!

Come on, hairball!

Great. Now you're out there

somewhere in the stupid rain...

'cause you just couldn't leave

well enough alone, could you?

No, you had to go

mess up a great thing...

just to make

your stupid dream come true.

Bet you come crawling back

any minute now...

cold and wet

and tired and hungry...

and sick of being a man...

and wishing you could be

my dog again.

Well, forget it!

I'm not taking you back.

Spot!

Ha ha!

Olh. it's you.

"Oh, it's you"?

We traveled 2,000 miles...

and all we get is,

"Oh, it's you"?!

Come on, Jolly, let's go home!

What?!

No, you guys. I'm sorry.

I'm really,

really glad you're here.

I've never needed anyone more.

Now, that's a greeting.

Something's happened to Spot.

Sit down. It's a long story.

So this is what it's like

to be human, huh?

Sittin' alone in a dump

on your tailless butt...

just twiddlin'

your opposable thumbs.

Top of the world, Ma!

Top of the world.

What's that?

Sounds like that stupid song

Leonard always used to sing.

Olh. it is tlhat stupid...

beautiful song!

Oh, Leonard.

# I know it's been said #

# Everyone needs someone #

# A loyal companion #

# To share in life's fun #

# For a day at the park #

# Or a game of leapfrog #

# A friend needs a friend #

# A boy needs a dog #

# A small hand to shake #

# Wanna run a race? #

# For a bowl full of grub #

# What a funny face #

# A face to be licked #

# When a tummy gets rubbed #

# Like a mom and a dad #

# Need their bundle of joy #

# A friend

needs a friend #

# A dog needs a boy #

PRETTY BO Y. SOBBING.

A classic!

Even a bird and a cockamamie cat

can see that!

Yeah. Why couldn't Spot?

I don't know.

I guess we all have

different dreams, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

And I guess if you really

love someone...

like I love Spot...

you gotta let him

have his dream, right?

Even if it's different

from your dream, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

I know what I've gotta do!

There's only one way

for us to be together again.

I've gotta go to Dr. Krank and

have him change me into a dog!

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

- What?!

- What?!

See ya, guys!

I mean, woof!

- No! Wait!

- No! Wait!
