Well, Owen, he was 19 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: working on his fort. Have you ever built a fort before? Yes, 20 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: they're super fun to build, either with sticks and branches 21 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: or anything that you can find outside. And he was 22 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: making a base to hide in. His friends who lived 23 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: next door both had walkie talkies and they were starting 24 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: to talk to each other. Sh guys, how is your 25 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: base coming along? This is Owen over a Owen, Yeah, 26 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: our base is coming along great.

Do you guys like to use 32 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: walkie talkies? Uh? Of course those are super fun toys 33 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: to play with. Hey, Owen, that was his mom shouting, 34 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: what's going on? Well, could you go down the street. 35 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of commotion going on at the 36 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: other side of the neighborhood. Everyone's talking about free puppies. 37 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: Free puppies, shouted Owen. Holy smokes, is there really free puppies. 38 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: Owen grabbed his walkie talkie to talk to his friends. Guys, 39 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: did you hear that there's free puppies on the other 40 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: side of the neighborhood? Sh What are you talking about, Owen? 41 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: They said, sh I don't know, but let's go check 42 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: it out. Owen and his friends grabbed their bikes and 43 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: rode as fast as they could to the other side 44 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: of the neighborhood, and sure enough, there it was a 45 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: sign that said free puppies. The whole neighborhood had gathered 46 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: around and everyone wanted their own puppy. Owen and his 47 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: friends all picked out their own fluffy puppy. Oh my goodness, 48 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: do you like puppies? Oh? They're so fun and fluffy. Whoa, 49 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: and then when they give you a big kiss on 50 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: the cheek, ah, it's pretty silly. Owen was so excited 51 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: to bring his puppy home. He put the puppy in 52 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: the front basket of his bike and they rode home together. 53 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: Ruff ruff. Oh, I'm so excited. What am I gonna 54 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: name you? Said Owen. Hm. Should I name him Ralph 55 00:03:50,080 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: or Buddy or Hoover? Yeah, let's call you Hoover f Roof. 56 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: The puppy looked excited at his new name. As they 57 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: got home, Owen showed his family the puppy that he 58 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: picked out, and they were all very excited. They had 59 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: never had a pet before. Do you have a pet, 60 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: maybe like a dog or a cat or another creature? 61 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: Maybe like a bird or a lizard. Yeah, pets are 62 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: really fun to have because it's kind of fun to 63 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: play with a creature, and it's really good to take 64 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: care of our creatures, right, Yeah, we feed them or 65 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: clean them. Yes, it's a big responsibility to have a pet, 66 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: and Owen was up for the job. Over the next 67 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: several days, this puppy named Hoover was acting a little strange. 68 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: You see, most puppies they eat food and go potty, right, Yes, well, 69 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: this puppy did not, said his dad. Uh, has Hoover 70 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: eaten anything? Or he just seems kind of strange? Yeah, 71 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: I know what you mean, Dad said Owen. Uh, I 72 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: don't think he's eating anything, but he still looks very happy. Well, 73 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: why don't you go check on him right now, said 74 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: his dad. Hoover Hoover shouted Owen. He couldn't find Hoover anywhere. Uh, Hoover. 75 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: He ran upstairs. He wasn't in his bedroom, and he 76 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: wasn't in the playroom. And he went downstairs and wait 77 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: a second, what is that? There was a cable that 78 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: was plugged into the wall that was not normally there, 79 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: and it was running all the way to the back 80 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: room and Hoover. Oh no, what's wrong? Somehow this cable 81 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: that was plugged into the wall was attached to Hoover. 82 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: So wait, wait, what in the world. As Hoover turned around, 83 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: he started to beep, beep beep. Oh no, I don't 84 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: think Hoover's a normal puppy. He's a robo puppy. Dun, dun, dum. 85 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: Owen had learned about robo puppies in spy training. You 86 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: see one of the ways that Purple Ninjas and Doctor 87 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: Stinky Breath are trying to take over the world. Well, 88 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: there's all kinds of ways, but one of them is 89 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: through rob puppies. Robot puppies would be the easiest way 90 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: to infiltrate all the families, because who wouldn't want a 91 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: free puppy. But it's actually not a real puppy. That's 92 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: why he's not eating food or going potty like a 93 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: normal puppy. What is Owen going to do? All right, 94 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: I gotta call this into HQ. Owen ran to his bedroom, 95 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: which is where all of the spy gear was. He 96 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: grabbed his walkie HQ. HQ, come in. This is Owen over, 97 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: sh Owen, what's going on? You sound like there's a problem. Yes, 98 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: there is a problem. It's hard to explain, but somehow 99 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: I got this puppy, and I thought it was a 100 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: real puppy, but it's actually a robo puppy. A robo puppy, 101 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: said HQ. Oh, no, sounds like one of doctor Stinky 102 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: Breath's evil plans. We're gonna send a team. Is Are 103 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: there any other puppies? Yes, my entire neighborhood was given 104 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: free robo puppies. We thought it was a real puppy, 105 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: but everyone in my neighborhood now has a robo puppy. 106 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: Are they in trouble? Yes, Owen said, HQ. We need 107 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: you to go door to door to make sure that 108 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: everyone locks their robo puppies in like a bathroom, because 109 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: that robo puppy is there to spy on them. You're 110 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: running out of time, Owen. You must act fast. And 111 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: just like that, Owen ran out his door and went 112 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: door to door. He had a hard time convincing everybody 113 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: that their puppies were actually robots, but after he showed 114 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: them the cable that would connect to the puppies, everyone panicked. 115 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: Some of them even passed out. Oh dear, this is 116 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: quite a mess that Owen has got to save the day. Well, 117 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: he spent the rest of the day convincing the entire 118 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: neighborhood about these evil robo puppies. Everyone locked them up 119 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: in their bathrooms and HQ was there in just a 120 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: few minutes. They had to get rid of all these 121 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: robo puppies before these robo puppies learned all of every 122 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: family's secrets. Great job, Owen. You saved the city and 123 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: all of the world from those cute, adorable puppies that 124 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: weren't actually puppies. Holy smokes. I hope I don't get 125 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: offered a free robo puppy because I might not be 126 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: able to say no to it because they're probably so cute. Well, Owen, 127 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: great job. And that is the end of today's adventure. 128 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: The end. Great job. You listened all the way to 129 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: the end, and you know what time it is. It's 130 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: time for kid shout out.
