[Tag] Dogcathalon: Part One.
[snoring]
[sniffing]
Do I smell... muffins?
Rise and shine, Barkers!
[alarm blaring]
Oh, no. Bad news muffins?
Worse, emergency muffins!
The Dogcathalon race is today!
[gasps] Today?
But it wasn’t supposed to happen until Saturday!
Sorry, I got mixed up.
It turns out Saturday is the Frogcathalon.
But don’t worry, I’m ready for that.
But we’re not ready for the Dogcathalon!
Can we have more time?
Sadly, no.
The Dogcathalon Top Dog is very strict,
and he’s arriving soon to check on everything.
And if Pawston isn’t ready...
He’ll move the race to Beverly Howls.
The home of the Terrier Triplets?
Yep, they said their town is ready.
No way.
As Pawston Crew Chief,
I’ll be sure we’re ready,
starting with decorating the town center.
And I can head over to the Speedway
to start setting up there.
And I’ll try to keep Mr. Top Dog busy
while you’re all working.
And we’ll all cheer for you from our bed.
Let’s go, dogs, go!
[cheering]
This is Scooch Pooch, coming to you live from Tag’s scooter
as we head to the town center to decorate.
[chuckles]
Scooch, I’m so glad you’re doing the play-by-play
announcing for the race.
You sound great!
Thanks.
What’s not so great is the mess that
Tag and Scooch are about to drive into.
[silly music]
Cheddar Biscuit, what’s going on?
We’re rehearsing our circus show!
Banana cream.
Nice.
The Dogcathalon race is today,
and this is where the entire race will start.
So we need everything cleaned and these decorations hung.
But, Tag, that’s impossible.
We got banana cream pies everywhere.
See what I mean?
[gasps] The Top Dog is coming!
Cheddar, listen to me.
I watch you do impossible things all the time.
If anyone can do this, it’s you.
You know what? You’re right.
I got this, Tag.
Great. We’ll go distract the Top Dog.
Just honk when you’re done.
And this over here is a tree.
Ooh, maybe we should sniff it.
Mmm, so oaky.
Mayor Sniffington, perchance are you’re trying to distract me
because the town center isn’t ready?
Why would you think the town center isn’t ready?
It’s not ready.
I beg your pardon?
What I mean is, we’re not ready to show it to you
until we introduce ourselves.
I’m Tag Barker, Crew Chief for Team Pawston,
and I’m Scooch Pooch.
Play-by-play race announcer for the race.
A pleasure.
But I need to see the town center since that’s
where the pilots will start the flying race.
And we’ll be happy to take you there.
Right after you see our Dogcathalon welcome tap dance.
[upbeat music plays]
This is so exciting.
[horn honks]
Ta-da!
Now let’s show you the town center.
Finally.
The Pawston Town Center.
Very nice, but how’s the riverfront looking
-for the boat race? -So ready.
Scooch and I are going there now to see how ready it is.
It’s not ready. Slow him down.
See you soon. Gotta run. Bye.
Hey Top Dog, why don’t we take a nice long stroll down the river,
maybe stop to sniff the roses?
Ooh, here’s a bunch.
Ooh, oh yes, lovely.
Tag, there’s no way we can get everything done in time.
Maybe there’s something we can do?
Yes, if you can head to the Speedway to help Sam,
we’ll head to the riverfront.
Go, dogs, go!
[horn honking]
Doggy wash obstacle coming through.
A little to your left.
Perfect.
And done.
I think we’re ready.
[Leo] We’re not ready!
Hey Leo, what’s wrong?
There’s no finish line.
How am I supposed to know if I won the race?
Oh, no, the finish line I ordered
hasn’t been delivered yet.
This is Scooch Pooch saying we’re finished.
Sorry, just practicing.
Does this mean we’re going to have to move
the race to Beverly Howls?
[gasps]
Nope, because I have an idea.
Lady Lydia, can you make us a finish line for the race?
Of course.
Awesome.
It will be ready in one year.
A year?
Why yes, I need to gather all my materials
and then go to finish line making school.
On second thought, make it two years.
Lydia, listen to me.
I believe you can do anything you set your mind to
because you’re one of the most talented dogs in all of Pawston.
Oh, what a lovely thing to say.
And all true.
Let me get to work.
Tag, the Top Dog is coming.
We need to slow him down. Come on.
Mr. Top Dog, hi!
I just remembered you didn’t get to hear Scooch
do any of his play-by-play announcing.
But now you can.
Because Tag will pretend to be a race car.
This is Scooch Pooch coming to you live
as we watch a super speedy furry race car
go around in circles.
What a thrill.
[sighs] I am not enjoying this.
Cut some ribbon. A beret here.
A fedora there. More ribbon. And done.
Leo, get me to the other side of the river. Pronto.
Now I’m a plane.
Zoom! Woosh!
That is some fantastic flying.
Okay, I really need to see the riverfront.
Make way, please.
[Tag & Scooch] Oh, no.
This riverfront is...
Very impressive.
[Tag & Scooch sigh]
That’s such a unique looking finish line.
Like I said,
Pawston is more than ready to host the Dogcathalon.
Great. All that’s left to do is check on the Speedway.
And quickly. Luckily, I’m a champion speed walker.
Sorry, Tag. Gotta go.
Wait, Top Dog.
Scooch, we need to beat them to the Speedway.
It’s flying time.
I can’t look. How messy is it?
It looks incredible!
Whoa. The Speedway is ready.
Almost ready.
The clowns are blowing up an absurdly large balloon
that looks like me.
[air blowing]
That doesn’t sound good.
Help! I can’t shut off the tank that’s blowing up the balloon.
[all] Uh-oh!
We need to put something heavy on top of the balloon
to help bring it down.
What do we have a lot of?
-Dogs? -That’ll work.
Cheddar, can you use your cannon to blast your circus friends
onto the balloon?
Of course.
But we’ll need more than just us circus dogs for it to work.
Helper dogs, can you help?
Uh, we’ve never been shot out of a cannon before.
Neither have I or Scooch.
Wait, I’m going, too?
Yes, because I believe in us.
And if we work together, quickly hurtling through the air,
we can save that ramp!
What do you say?
-[cheering] -Let’s get started!
Count me in as well.
We launch in three, two... [horn honks]
[shouting]
[dramatic music]
We did it! We made it!
[Sam] Look out!
Ouch!
[all] Ouch!
Right on my tail!
But the important thing is, the ramp is coming down.
Uh-oh.
Top Dog, I know this looks bad.
We thought we would be ready, but...
That was amazing!
Really?
You reminded me why I chose Pawston to host the race
in the first place.
You’re a town that always comes together,
which is great news because the race will start
in a few minutes. See you soon.
[Tag & Scooch] Woo-hoo!
Well, well, well, we meet again.
Hello, Terrier Triplets.
You may have impressed the Top Dog,
but guess who you didn’t impress?
Our Aunt Sheila.
No, us.
Because Pawston will never beat us.
We won this Dogcathalon trophy last year.
We’ll win it again this year.
Only this time, it’ll be in front of your hometown crowd.
Ha! You’re forgetting that we’ve got
the greatest racer of all time on our team!
Sam Whippet!
Ouchie!
I think I sprained my tail when I landed on the ramp.
[groans]
If it doesn’t feel better soon,
I won’t be able to sit in a race car.
This is Scooch Pooch live from the Pawston Speedway, saying...
Uh-oh.

[Tag] Dogcathalon: Part Two.
How bad does your tail hurt, Sam?
Very, very bad.
Especially when I wag it.
You should put ice on it.
Oh, or a tray of frozen lasagna.
Ow, ow, ow!
My tail wags whenever I hear the word lasagna.
Ow, ow, ow!
You should just give up now.
Not a chance.
The Speedway race is after the Sky and Boat Race.
Plenty of time for Sam to rest and feel better.
Then I guess we’ll see you at the starting line.
Beverly Howls, out.
We better get to the town center for the start of the race.
Yup. Go, Team Pawston, go!
This is incredible!
There are dogs here from all over the place.
And the Pawston dogs.
[Beans] Hooray!
Welcome, everyone.
I’m excited to say Dogcathalon Day is finally here.
And to help us start the race,
please welcome your race announcer, Scooch Pooch!
Who wants to see some racing?
[cheering]
Oh, I’d also like to see some unicorns.
Unicorns! Unicorns!
It’s time for our first event.
Barkapellas, tell us what it is.
♪ The Sky Race ♪
[Scooch] Competing today are racers from Furonto,
Chew York City, Beverly Howls,
and of course, Pawston.
[cheering]
Mom, it’s your Crew Chief, Tag Barker.
You ready to race?
-No. -No?
What do you mean no?
I didn’t know I’d be racing a Terrier Triplet.
I can’t win against a championship flyer.
So he’s won a few trophies.
Way more than a few.
[Scooch] Time to start the race.
[Tag] You can do this, Mom.
Racers ready?
Set, go, dogs, go!
[toy squeaks]
[Scooch] The racers are off,
and Beverly Howls is taking an early lead.
Hope you all like losing.
[Scooch] The racers are now approaching the first obstacle,
a floating hoop.
It looks like Pawston could use some help
as Mom Barker falls into third place.
Don’t give up, Mom.
[Scooch] And here comes a floating dog bone
that the racers need to fly under.
Next up is the not-floating mountain.
That’s where they’ll turn around and head to the finish line.
Here they come. But oh no!
Pawston is now in last place.
I gotta do something to help.
Paw, I know this is a long shot, but do you have your guitar?
That’s ridiculous.
Of course I do.
Great.
I think Mom could use some inspirational music.
You hear that, Mom?
I do.
And it’s very sweet of you, Tag,
but I can’t win this race.
No matter what happens, you’re already a winner.
You’re an amazing pilot who’s brave enough to try.
Aw, that’s so sweet, Tag.
Now, what do you say you show everyone
what this blimp can really do?
I think I can find another gear.
[Scooch] Oh, it looks like Pawston is making a move
past Chew York City.
And now she’s passing Furonto.
Come on, Mom.
Beverly Howls is almost at the finish line.
Not if I get there first.
Pawston wins the Sky Race!
[cheering]
Way to go, Mom!
Since Pawston won the Sky Race, they get a shiny check mark.
Barkapellas, tell us what’s next.
♪ More racing but with boats ♪
Yup, we’re heading to the water.
Tag, congratulations on winning the Sky Race.
Your Mom did great.
Thanks, Sam. How’s your tail?
Did the frozen lasagna help?
It was helping, but then it defrosted,
so I ate it for lunch.
But, Sam, your race is soon.
I know.
Luckily, my doctor has agreed to see me right away.
Hello, Dr. Manhole Dog.
Wow, I did not see that coming.
[Scooch] And I’m back.
Racers, please make your way to the start line.
How are we feeling, Captain Leo?
I can’t do this, Tag.
Nobody told me I was racing a Terrier Triplet.
Let me guess, did he bring all his trophies with him?
Worse, he brought a giant statue of himself
holding all his trophies.
Aw, I look so good.
Leo, I picked you to be our boat captain
because you’ve raced boats your whole life.
Now, what do you say you show everyone what you can do?
Okay, let’s do this.
[Scooch] Racers are now in their boats
and ready for the obstacle race
to the hat-decorated finish line.
Racers ready?
Set?
-[toy squeaks] -[Scooch] Go, dogs, go!
The racers are off.
And here to talk us through it,
my best friend and Pawston Crew Chief,
Tag Barker.
Thanks, Scooch.
I gotta say, Leo is looking really good out there.
He sure is.
Leo has an early lead for Team Pawston
as the racers approach the doggy wash obstacle.
[Tag] Wow, look at all that soap.
[Scooch] Up next is the weave pole obstacle.
And Beverly Howls is catching up.
Come on, Leo, you got this!
And there you have it, folks.
Last obstacle, the big ramp.
[laughs]
What a jump!
Leo is in the lead
and heading towards the finish line.
Oh, no.
[chuckles]
[Scooch] Beverly Howls wins the boat race.
I know I sound excited,
but this is just my race announcer voice.
I’m actually very upset,
but it’s impossible to tell.
I’m sorry I let you down, Tag.
Are you kidding me?
Leo, you had an incredible race.
It doesn’t matter if you won or lost.
Look at how happy you made everyone.
[chanting] Leo! Leo! Leo!
Thanks, Crew Chief Tag.
Barkapellas, tell us what’s next.
♪ More racing, but with cars Yeah, cars ♪
It’s time to head to the Speedway
for the final part of the race.
Scooch! Want a ride?
Yes, please. And thanks.
Wow!
This is it, Scooch!
The final race of the Dogcathalon!
And there’s Sam!
I’ll head to the announcer booth to start the race.
Good luck, Tag.
We don’t need luck.
We have Sam Whippet.
Sam, is your tail feeling better?
Much better.
Especially after Dr. Manhole Dog gave me this giant cast.
Sadly, I can no longer fit into my race car.
Ho-ho!
Which is why I have to drop out of the race.
What? No, we can’t give up.
Who said anything about giving up?
I want you to take my place.
Me? No, I can’t.
I’m not as fast as you are
and I’ve never raced in a race this big before.
That doesn’t sound like something
Crew Chief Tag Barker would say.
Agreed.
I was nervous about racing too,
but you made me believe I could do it.
And you told me it didn’t matter whether I won or lost
as long as I tried my best.
And you told me I could do this announcer thing
and I gotta say, I am doing a really great job.
Tag, we all believe in you.
Now you need to believe in yourself.
You’re right.
Let’s do this.
[Scooch] The race is on!
[cheering]
Good luck. You’re gonna need it.
Pawston and Beverly Howls both have one win each.
That means whoever wins this race
will win the Dogcathalon.
Racers ready?
Set...
-[toy squeaks] -[Scooch] Go, dogs, go!
The racers are off
and my best friend, Tag, has an early lead.
Woo-hoo!
[Scooch] Ooh, some sharp turns from Tag
through the obstacle flags.
But Beverly Howls is catching up.
[intense music]
[Scooch] Beverly Howls is now in the lead.
It looks like Tag Barker
is falling even further behind now.
Can she find a way past Beverly Howls?
Not a chance.
Sam, I can’t get past her.
Look around you, Tag.
There are a lot of dogs who believe you can.
[chanting] Tag! Tag! Tag!
Remember, Tag, great racers aren’t just fast.
They’re smart, too.
I think I’ve got an idea.
[Scooch] Oh, what’s this?
It looks like Tag Barker is driving on two wheels.
Woo-hoo!
Tag has passed Beverly Howls,
but can she hold on to that lead until the finish line?
It’s go, dog, go time!
[triumphant music]
[cheering]
[Scooch] Pawston wins the Dogcathalon!
Woo-hoo! We did it!
[cheering]
Congratulations, Tag!
Thank you.
Tag, is there anything you’d like to say
to the hometown crowd?
Yes.
I might be the dog up here holding the trophy,
but it belongs to all of you
because I couldn’t have won this race
without my hometown.
I love you, Pawston!
Barkapellas, take it away!
