Bluebird to ground squirrel. Piñata is a go.
Roger that. Move!
It's show time. How do I look?
Ah. You look delicious.
Yeesh, I'm not a real rabbit.
Now wait for Lucky's sign.
Pup's in place?
Piñata's in place?
What does that mean?
It means go, dogs, go.
Gotcha. Okay, Squirt. Squirt?
Mm, bunny rabbit.
It's me, Niblet.
Yes, it is.
Then here comes Squirty cottontail.
( laughing )
A bunny!
Get the bunny. Get the bunny.
All right, blow the piñata.
Roger that.
Great. Now drop the package.
That's you. Time to meet your perfect person.
But I'm scared.
I don't think I can do it.
STRUDEL: Now, Cookie.
Wait. Hang on.
( Niblet barking )
Aah!
ALL: Aw.
TOMMY'S MOM: All right,
that'll be enough bunny chasing.
Come on back, kids.
Let's see what's in that piñata.
ALL: Yay!
Give me just a few seconds more.
We need another distraction.
I'm on it.
ALL: Aw.
( barking )
You put a puppy in my piñata?
Thanks, Mom. She's the best present ever.
Oh, well, anything for you, kiddo.
Happy birthday.
Yo, Lucky, we heard about the piñata job. Way to go.
Great work, Lucky.
Unh. Hey, I did have a little to do with that.
I got the best team in the business, fellas.
Who are those guys?
It's the seafood district.
A lot of strays live around here.
Don't worry about them. They're harmless.
( cats meowing )
( laughing )
Hold me, Strudel.
I'm one-fifth your size.
But you look so funny and reassuring. And delicious.
Knock that off!
Ooh. I take a dive for the team and this is the thanks I get.
You're welcome.
( laughing )
It's a walking pink Wienerschnitzel.
Oh, yes? Well, let me tell you something, wise-fellow.
Your name-calling merely denigrates
your already ignoble species.
( both laughing )
( gnarls then barks )
Cookie, I could have handled them myself.
Sorry, I just thought you could use a little help,
being the physically awkward, brainy one and all.
I'm not just brainy.
I have many other, unappreciated talents as well.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Guys, quiet, quiet.
I think I heard something.
PEPPY: Leave me alone!
Come on, please?
Just leave me alone!
No, down here.
Split up.
PEPPY: Hey, someone help, please!
Aw, poor widdle puppy dog.
Wook how scared he is.
I said wook how scared he is.
( dogs laughing )
He's scared.
Leave me alone!
"Weave me awone!"
I don't even talk like that.
You will when I get through with you.
That doesn't even make sense.
I decide what makes sense around here.
This is my turf.
Hey, knock it off. Leave this pup alone.
Huh? What? Who are you?
And what makes you think you can mess with Stain?
I'm Stain, by the way. Growl at him, boys.
( all snarling )
Shh. Human.
( man whistling )
Now, where were we?
Oh, yeah.
( all snarling )
I think I heard them over here.
I need a boost.
( grunting )
( gnarling )
Niblet, are you all ri-- Aah!
Aah! Unh.
Wha-- Where did you come from?
( Squirt grunting )
Yech.
And what is that thing?
Aah!
Aah! Unh.
( whimpering )
Aah! Blech!
Fish guts. Agh. Fish guts!
I am, thanks to you guys.
Let's get out of here.
DOG 1: Whoa.
Who are those guys?
Unh. Hey! Wait for me!
Please don't hurt us.
Yeah, we didn't do nothing.
Um, excuse me? Are you talking to me?
Yeah, we're talking to you.
I didn't say that too loud, did I?
Are you their leader? I saw you fly through the air.
I saw it too.
We so misjudged you.
Please, forgive us. The way you stood up to Stain
and these two clowns was inspiring.
Mm-hm. It's like you're some kind of dog superhero.
Superhero? Did someone say superhero?
It's about time we had someone to believe in around here.
You know, for justice and stuff.
Just wait till I tell my pup
the streets are safe again.
Thank you, Superweenie dog. Thank you.
Oh, uh, you're welcome.
LUCKY: Hey.
Come on, superhero, let's go.
Ooh, did you hear that? It's true.
( clears throat )
My work is done, I now must go.
Till I return and fight some other foe.
Mysterious exit. Shazakwa!
ALL: Whoa!
STAIN: Blech, blech.
( sighs )
You win this round, my friend,
but I will take my revenge.
( cat screeches )
He-he-he. Hey. Stop that.
No! That tickles.
( cats meowing )
( music playing from computer )
( speaking in Spanish )
( in English ) Is that man my perfect person?
No, Peppy. He's not.
Strudel, what in the world is wrong with the FKD?
It keeps playing this Spanish language
carpet cleaner commercial.
Fix it, will you? So we can get Peppy adopted.
Squirrels! Fix the FKD!
While I remember last night.
Um, what about last night?
Why, our heroic adventure, of course.
Did you hear them?
They thought I was the leader.
Wow! That never happens.
Perhaps it was my daring,
super-canine leap through the sky
to save a little puppy in distress.
Look who I found. Guys, this is Marshmallow.
Take care of him for a minute
while I go find Lucky, will you?
Hey, Lucky.
Marshmallow?
Mm, marshmallows are delicious.
Uh, I'm not a real marshmallow.
Oh, I'm sure my friend Niblet here
knew that all along.
He was merely making a witty remark
based upon the double meaning of your name.
You see, figuratively speaking--
Hey, wait a minute. You're that weenie dog
with the funny accent who talks too much.
Everyone's talking about what you did
to Stain last night.
Oh, my. Well...
They say you guys are some kind of superheroes.
And that you're the leader.
They call you The Watchdogs.
Ooh, "The Watchdogs"?
( triumphant theme playing )
ANNOUNCER: Electronoggin.
Mad Dog.
The Brown Fog.
El Wormo.
And The Warning!
They're The Watchdogs.
SQUIRT: Earth to egghead.
Yo, let's get back to fixing the FKD, will you?
We got pups to place.
It's true, Marshmallow. I was there.
They came out of nowhere.
Wow! The Watchdogs.
Real live superheroes.
Yeah, I hate to burst your bubble, pups,
but we're not superheroes.
In fact, there's no such thing as superheroes.
We just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
BOTH: Aw.
Way to make them sad, Squirt.
Yeah, well, someone had to set them straight.
Now, come on, Strudel, fix that FKD.
Aw. That was the most disappointing thing
I've ever heard.
( sobbing )
Um, don't be sad, little pups.
Because, well, perhaps Squirt wasn't totally right
Huh?
You mean The Watchdogs are real?
I knew it!
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!
Tell us all about them.
BOTH: Please?
Well, let's just say that most of the Watchdogs
are busy doing other things,
and like to keep their identity a secret.
But, ahem,
Electronoggin and Mad Dog are here for you!
Mad Dog, who's that? He sounds cool.
Shh! I'm giving my heroic speech.
The weak and the innocent of this town
shall live in fear no longer.
The Watchdogs are forever on the watch.
ALL: Cool.
Watch out for us, Watchdogs.
We're counting on you.
Oh, yes, you can count on me.
You can count on me indeed.
( triumphant theme playing )
( suspenseful theme playing )
Well, that was neat. What now?
Now we check our superhero supplies.
Water spray? Exploding crinkle toy?
Smoke pellets? Tracking collar?
It's all in my handy dandy tool belt, Strudel.
Do not use my real name.
By night, I am Electronoggin.
Oh, yeah. And I am Mad Dog.
Remind me again why I'm on a rooftop
in the middle of the night.
We are on the prowl for injustice.
To aid the weak and defenseless.
To right wrongs wherever we may find them.
Oh, okay.
And you need me for that why?
Why? Uh, because we're partners.
Aah. I've never been the partner of anything.
Well, now you are, buddy.
Let's defeat the bad guys.
To the zipline.
Uh, it's kind of stuck on that light pole.
To the stairs.
( triumphant theme playing )
( cats screeching )
( suspenseful theme playing )
Water!
It's our weakness! Run!
( cats screech )
Tell everyone you know. We are The Watchdogs.
( groaning )
( triumphant theme playing )
( gnarling )
I am Electronoggin of the Watchdogs,
and I have grown to 15 times my normal size.
Ah! I'm sorry! Don't hurt me!
I'll never pick on littler dogs again.
Yes, The Watchdogs triumph again.
Ow, my eyes!
Move the flashlight! Move it now!
It is damaging my retinas!
( triumphant theme playing )
( dogs gnarling and barking )
STRUDEL: Not so fast.
Who are you?
Oh, wait a minute. I've heard about you.
You're that mysterious superhero.
Electronoggin.
And I detect a dog who needs psychic punishment.
Aah! What is that?
No, Electronoggin!
Please don't monkey with my brain!
The ham is his! I'm sorry!
Thank you, Electronoggin.
The dogs of this city are in your debt.
NIBLET: I think I pressed the button a little too hard.
Nevertheless, The Watchdogs rule the night. Hah!
Now we make our mysterious escape.
( Strudel coughing )
( suspenseful theme playing )
( snarling )
( speaking in Spanish )
( in English ) Strudel? Come on, Strudel,
it's the middle of the morning.
Aah!
Uh, yes.
Uh, working on the FKD all night
sure does make me tired.
Forget the cover story, Strudel.
I know what you've been up to.
You do?
Your costumes are hanging on the wall right there.
Curses! The palace of solitude has been compromised!
Lucky, you have no idea
how wonderful being a superhero is.
I help the weak and the helpless,
Yeah, they love us for it.
Us. I mean, they love us for it.
But, Strudel, around here,
you really do have a super-power,
operating the FKD. You're the only one of us that can do it.
I know but--
Just cool it on the superhero stuff, please?
Meanwhile, during your nap,
we located Marshmallow's person on our own.
The rest of us are gonna go out and bring him to his house.
Get that thing fixed. Peppy's counting on you.
The Warning strikes again.
Faster than a speeding wet blanket.
I don't know, maybe we shouldn't be the Watchdogs.
We've got an awful lot of work to do right here.
Superheroes lead double lives all the time, Niblet.
We'll get used to it.
Today, we toil as mere Pound Puppies.
But tonight, my friend,
oh, yes, tonight we return to the city that needs us.
What are you looking at?
( Strudel snoring )
Strudel, stop sleeping!
We've gotta fix the--
( both snoring )
( Stain chuckles )
If it isn't little Peppy Pupperson.
This must be the Watchdogs' lair.
You have humiliated me for the last time, Watchdogs.
Prepare for a taste of your own medicine.
Blech. Ooh.
This oyster, squid and clam juice
is surprisingly undelicious.
FKD: Allyson Jones, age 10,
address 375 East Redwood Drive.
Peppy, we have your person.
Aah! Just look at her. She's perfect!
Hooray!
This is gonna be so great.
I can't wait to meet Allyson.
I can't believe she's my person.
This adoption will be a snap.
Wait a moment!
NIBLET: What's that?
I ordered it online and had it installed downtown.
Pretty cool, eh?
It means someone is in need of help.
Well, how come you're in the beacon but I'm not?
You're a big dog, Niblet.
Both of us wouldn't fit on the beacon.
Well, how come you didn't just put me on the beacon?
This is no time to be arguing about the beacon.
Are you guys gonna take me to my person or what?
Niblet, you take Peppy.
Meanwhile, I will leap to the rescue
of some stranger in need.
You're gonna be Electronoggin all alone?
But who's gonna carry the tool belt and stuff?
Electronoggin is a superhero.
She doesn't really need a sidekick.
Doesn't need a sidekick?
Hey, I thought we were partners.
But Mad Dog couldn't go out alone.
He's a team player, not the leader.
I thought all The Watchdogs were team players.
They are. A team led by Electronoggin.
NIBLET: But I'm the one doing all the stuff.
Peppy!
NIBLET: Where did he go?
Do not fear, Niblet.
I will track him down and rescue him,
no matter how dangerous and no matter what the odds.
Just as soon as I change into my costume.
( triumphant theme playing )
( triumphant theme playing )
( sniffing )
Mad Dog, my Electronoggin detects
the unmistakable scent of clam juice,
plus, the pungent afterburn of rotted fish guts.
Stain. Of course.
And I know exactly where he'll go.
Mad Dog, to the seafood district.
Mad Dog? Niblet? Where did you go?
So it's the Watchdog now, is it?
Very well, I go it alone.
( suspenseful theme playing )
( whimpering )
Going it alone is a little scarier
than I thought it would be.
Nevertheless, I persevere.
Ooh, all the way up those stairs.
Well, that was easy.
Marshmallow sure was cute when he got his little girl.
( squeaking )
( squeaking )
( squeaking )
Strudel took her Electronoggin costume to look for him?
Hey, I'm, uh, picking up some weird smells over here.
Clam juice, squid juice and oyster juice?
McLeish!
And fish guts.
Stain.
( triumphant theme playing )
Peppy?
PEPPY: Strudel! Help!
I'm coming, Peppy.
But please don't refer to me as Strudel.
The funny thing is, a superhero's secret identity
is sometimes her greatest weapon.
It helps her keep her cool when--
Good sweet Sauerkraut!
Why, that evil, malevolent, cold-hearted beast!
STAIN: Guilty as charged.
Oh! Back off, Stain!
I warn you, I have superpowers.
( triumphant theme playing )
Seriously, I am warning you! Let me go!
( laughs )
You have a super power, all right.
The super power of comedy.
Come one, come all.
Watch this hero of yours, this Electronoggin.
See how heroic she is
when I dunk her in a giant vat of fish guts.
Then you'll see who really deserves
Can it be?
Is the mighty Electronoggin meeting her undoing?
Where are The Watchdogs now?
There are no Watchdogs anymore.
Only Stain. Ha-ha-ha.
Prepare to meet your doom.
LUCKY: Not so fast.
There will be no fish-gutsing of anyone.
Not if the Pound Puppies have anything to say about it.
( triumphant theme playing )
I guess we don't have anything to say about it.
Man, that guy's good.
I did not see this coming.
This is just too perfect.
Now I am going to humiliate you all.
You will be licked by so many cats,
you will never be able to show your faces
in public again.
( Stain guffawing )
( all gasp )
This again?
Yeah, it is so this again.
You are not being nice to my friends
and that makes me one Mad Dog.
( suspenseful theme playing )
Unh. Ow.
All right, meanie, now you're in trouble.
Aw, man, I don't got my belt no more.
Not to worry.
There's plenty of room in the net.
Ah. Yeah, okay.
Ow!
( Niblet barking )
( suspenseful theme playing )
ALL: Whoa.
( growling )
( all gasping )
Unh.
ALL: Yeah! Mad Dog! Mad Dog! Mad Dog!
Hey, my real name's Niblet!
ALL: Niblet! Niblet! Niblet!
Uh, a little help? Someone?
Please?
Now, what am I gonna do?
You guys humiliated me once, then he humiliated me.
No one in my territory is gonna ever respect me again.
Well, you are kind of a jerk.
I'm sorry. It's just...
You know, picking on dogs and making them scared,
it's the only way a guy like me can get attention.
You Pound Puppies are always going on
about there being a person for every pup
and a pup for every person.
But what kind of person is gonna want to adopt
a mangy, fishy old dog like me?
Maybe a mangy, fishy old man?
( barks )
Everyone but Stain, quick, over here.
Hey, what's that? I heard a dog.
Better not be stealing my boss' fish guts.
Hey, fella.
You're cute.
And you smell just like I do.
I'm gonna name you Stinky.
Way to go, Watchdogs.
No, It's "way to go, Pound Puppies."
And now, Peppy, it's your turn.
( upbeat theme playing )
Hi.
Oh, Dennis, he's perfect for her.
Sorry I got so carried away, guys.
I'm especially sorry to you, Niblet,
for not appreciating all you did for me.
You were really awesome out there.
Call me Strudel.
Yeah, but how come you're still wearing
Electronoggin's costume?
Because, Niblet, somewhere out there in the night,
a lone dog will cast his gaze
across a moonlit alley, and say:
"Goodness, she looks cool in that outfit.
Oh, yes, she looks cool indeed."
