And he was 22 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: making a base to hide in. His friends who lived 23 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: next door both had walkie talkies and they were starting 24 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: to talk to each other.

Well, could you go down the street. 35 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of commotion going on at the 36 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: other side of the neighborhood. Everyone's talking about free puppies. 37 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: Free puppies, shouted Owen. Holy smokes, is there really free puppies. 38 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: Owen grabbed his walkie talkie to talk to his friends. Guys, 39 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: did you hear that there's free puppies on the other 40 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: side of the neighborhood? Sh What are you talking about, Owen? 41 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: They said, sh I don't know, but let's go check it. 42 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: Out. 43 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: Owen and his friends grabbed their bikes and rode as 44 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: fast as they could to the other side of the neighborhood, 45 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: and sure enough, there it was a sign that said 46 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: free puppies. The whole neighborhood had gathered around and everyone 47 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: wanted their own puppy. Owen and his friends all picked 48 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: out their own fluffy puppy. Oh my goodness, do you 49 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: like puppies? Oh? They're so fun and fluffy. Whoa, and 50 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: then when they give you a big kiss on the cheek, ah, 51 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: it's pretty silly. Owen was so excited to bring his 52 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: puppy home. He put the puppy in the front basket 53 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: of his bike and they rode home together. Ruff ruf. Oh, 54 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm so excited. What am I gonna name you, said Owen. Hm. 55 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: Should I name him Ralph or Buddy. 56 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: Or Hoover? 57 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's call you hooverf roof. The puppy looked excited 58 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: at his new name. As they got home, Owen showed 59 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: his family the puppy that he picked out, and they 60 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: were all very excited. They had never had a pet before. 61 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: Do you have a pet, maybe like a dog or 62 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: a cat or another creature? Maybe like a bird or 63 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: a lizard. Yeah, pets are really fun to have because 64 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: it's kind of fun to play with a creature, and 65 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: it's really good to take care of our creatures, right, Yeah, 66 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: we feed them or clean them. Yes, it's a big 67 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: responsibility to have a pet, and Owen was up for 68 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: the job. Over the next several days, this puppy named 69 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: Hoover was acting a little strange. You see, most puppies 70 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: they eat food and go potty, right, Yes, well, this 71 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: puppy did not, Owen said his dad. 72 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: Uh, has Hoover eaten anything? Or he just seems kind 73 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: of strange? Yeah, I know what you mean, Dad said Owen. Uh, 74 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: I don't think he's eating anything, but he still looks 75 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: very happy. Well, why don't you go check on him 76 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 2: right now, said his dad. Hoover Hoover shouted Owen. He 77 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: couldn't find Hoover anywhere. 78 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: Uh, Hoover. He ran upstairs. He wasn't in his bedroom, 79 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: and he wasn't in the playroom. And he went downstairs 80 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: and wait a second, what is that? There was a 81 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: cable that was plugged into the wall that was not 82 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: normally there, and it was running all the way to 83 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: the back room and Hoover. Oh no, what's wrong? Somehow 84 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: this cable that was plugged into the wall was attached 85 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: to Hoover. So wait, wait, what in the world. As 86 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: Hoover turned around, he started to beep, beep beep. Oh no, 87 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't think Hoover's a normal puppy. He's a robo puppy. Dun, dun, dun. 88 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: Owen had learned about robo puppies in spy training. You 89 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: see one of the ways that Purple Ninja's and Doctor 90 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: Stinky Breath are trying to take over the world. Well, 91 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: there's all kinds of ways, but one of them is 92 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: through row puppies. Robot puppies would be the easiest way 93 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: to infiltrate all the families, because who wouldn't want a 94 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: free puppy. But it's actually not a real puppy. That's 95 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: why he's not eating food or going potty like a 96 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: normal puppy. What is Owen going to do? All right? 97 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: I gotta call this into HQ. Owen ran to his bedroom, 98 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: which is where all of the spi gear was. He 99 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: grabbed his walkie HQ. 100 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: HQ, come in. 101 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: This is Owen over, sh Owen, what's going on. You 102 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: sound like there's a problem. Yes, there is a problem. 103 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: It's hard to explain. But somehow I got this puppy, 104 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: and I thought it was a real puppy, but it's 105 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: actually a robo puppy. A robo puppy, said HQ. Oh, no, 106 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: sounds like one of doctor Stinky Breath's evil plans. We're 107 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: gonna send a team. Is Are there any other puppies? Yes, 108 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: my entire neighborhood was given free robo puppies. We thought 109 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: it was a real puppy, but everyone in my neighborhood 110 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: now has a robo puppy. Are they in trouble? Yes, 111 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: Owen said, HQ. We need you to go door to 112 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: door to make sure that everyone locks their robo puppies 113 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: in like a bathroom, because that roo puppy is there 114 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: to spy on them. You're running out of time, Owen. 115 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: You must act fast. And just like that, Owen ran 116 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: out his door and went door to door. He had 117 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: a hard time convincing everybody that their puppies were actually robots, 118 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: but after he showed them the cable that would connect 119 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:31,119 Speaker 1: to the puppies, everyone panicked. Some of them even passed out. Oh, dear, 120 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: this is quite a mess that Owen has got to 121 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: save the day. Well, he spent the rest of the 122 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: day convincing the entire neighborhood about these evil robo puppies. 123 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: Everyone locked them up in their bathrooms and HQ was 124 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: there in just a few minutes. They had to get 125 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: rid of all these robo puppies before these robo puppies 126 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: learned all of every family's secrets. Great job, Owen. You 127 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: you saved the city and all of the world from 128 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: those cute, adorable puppies that weren't actually puppies. Holy smokes. 129 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: I hope I don't get offered a free robopuppy because 130 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: I might not be able to say no to it 131 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: because they're probably so cute. Well, Owen, great job. And 132 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: that is the end of today's adventure. The end.
