The whole neighborhood had gathered around and everyone 47 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: wanted their own puppy. Owen and his friends all picked 48 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: out their own fluffy puppy. Oh my goodness, do you 49 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: like puppies? Oh? They're so fun and fluffy. Whoa, and 50 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: then when they give you a big kiss on the cheek, ah, 51 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: it's pretty silly. Owen was so excited to bring his 52 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: puppy home. He put the puppy in the front basket 53 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: of his bike and they rode home together. Ruff ruf. Oh, 54 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: I'm so excited. What am I gonna name you? Said Owen. Hm. 55 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: Should I name him Ralph or Buddy. 56 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: Or Hoover? 57 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's call you Hoover roof. The puppy looked excited 58 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: at his new name. As they got home, Owen showed 59 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: his family the puppy that he picked out, and they 60 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: were all very excited. They had never had a pet before. 61 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: Do you have a pet, maybe like a dog or 62 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: a cat or another creature? Maybe like a bird or 63 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: a lizard. Yeah, pets are really fun to have because 64 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: it's kind of fun to play with a creature, and 65 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: it's really good to take care of our creatures, right, Yeah, 66 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: we feed them or clean them. Yes, it's a big 67 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: responsibility to have a pet, and Owen was up for 68 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: the job. Over the next several days, this puppy named 69 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: Hoover was acting a little strange. You see, most puppies 70 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: they eat food and go potty, right, Yes, well this 71 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: puppy did not, Hey, Owen said his dad. 72 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: Uh, has Hoover eaten anything? Or he just seems kind 73 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 2: of strange? Yeah, I know what you mean, Dad said Owen. Uh, 74 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: I don't think he's eating anything, but he still looks 75 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 2: very happy. Well, why don't you go check on him 76 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: right now, said his dad. Hoover Hoover shouted Owen. He 77 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: couldn't find Hoover anywhere. 78 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: Uh, Hoover. He ran upstairs. He wasn't in his bedroom, 79 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: and he wasn't in the playroom. And he went downstairs 80 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: and wait a second, what is that? There was a 81 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: cable that was plugged into the wall that was not 82 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: normally there, and it was running all the way to 83 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: the back room and Hoover. Oh no, what's wrong? Somehow 84 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: this cable that was plugged into the wall was attached 85 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: to Hoover. So wait, wait in the world. As Hoover 86 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: turned around, he started to beep. 87 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: Beep, beep beep. 88 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't think Hoover's a normal puppy. He's 89 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: a robo puppy. Dun, dun, dun. Owen had learned about 90 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: robo puppies in spy training. You see one of the 91 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: ways that Purple Ninja's and Doctor Stinky Breath are trying 92 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: to take over the world. Well, there's all kinds of ways, 93 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: but one of them is through rob puppies. Robot puppies 94 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: would be the easiest way to infiltrate all the families, 95 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: because who wouldn't want a free puppy. But it's actually 96 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: not a real puppy. That's why he's not eating food 97 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: or going potty like a normal puppy. What is Owen 98 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: going to do? All right, I gotta call this into HQ. 99 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: Owen ran to his bedroom, which is where all of 100 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: the spi gear was. He grabbed his walkie HQ. HQ, 101 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: come in. This is Owen over sh Owen what's going on. 102 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: You sound like there's a problem. Yes, there is a problem. 103 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: It's hard to explain. But somehow I got this puppy, 104 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: and I thought it was a real puppy, but it's 105 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: actually a robo puppy. A robo puppy, said HQ. Oh, no, 106 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: sounds like one of doctor Stinky Breath's evil plans. We're 107 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: gonna send a team. Is Are there any other puppies? Yes, 108 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: my entire neighborhood was given free robo puppies. We thought 109 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: it was a real puppy, but everyone in my neighborhood 110 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: now has a robo puppy. Are they in trouble, yes, 111 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: Owen said, HQ. We need you to go door to 112 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: door to make sure that everyone locks their robo puppies 113 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: in like a bathroom, because that robo puppy is there 114 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: to spy on them. You're running out of time, Owen. 115 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: You must act fast. And just like that, Owen ran 116 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: out his door and went door to door. He had 117 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: a hard time convincing everybody that their puppies were actually robots, 118 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: but after he showed them the cable that would connect 119 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: to the puppies, everyone panicked. Some of them even passed out. 120 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: Oh dear, this is quite a mess that Owen has 121 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: got to save the day. Well, he spent the rest 122 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: of the day convincing the entire neighborhood about these evil 123 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: robo puppies. Everyone locked them up in their bathrooms and 124 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: HQ was there in just a few minutes. They had 125 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: to get rid of all these robo puppies before these 126 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: robo puppies learned all of every family's secrets. Great job, Owen, 127 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: you you saved the city and all of the world 128 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: from those cute, adorable puppies that weren't actually puppies. Holy smokes. 129 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: I hope I don't get offered a free robopuppy because 130 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: I might not be able to say no to it 131 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: because they're probably so cute.
