[snoring]
-Morning, buddy! -Aah! Tag! What are you doing?
We got a concert to go to!
I thought the concert was tonight.
It is. But this is the Barkapellas' Bark in the Park in the Dark concert.
So we need to go to the park now to get the best seats.
[yawning] All right.
But I gotta get breakfast first. Tag? Tag? Where'd ya go?
-Right here! -[screams, grunts]
Sorry!
[sniffs]
Do we really have to go so early?
I took this picture at last year's show.
[Scooch] It's just tails.
Exactly! We got there late
and all the good seats were taken by taller dogs.
That's all I could see, nothing but tails.
So this year, we gotta be the first ones there.
OK, let's go, park, go! I want a clear view, not a rear view.
Not so fast, Scooch. Aren't you forgetting something?
Uh, I love you?
I love you, too. But you're not going anywhere until you do your chores.
You've been running around so much lately,
you've fallen behind on the jobs you're supposed to do.
Just a few chores. That's not so bad.
Wow! That is so bad.
It's so many chores, I don't know where to start!
How about the top of the list?
"Take out recycling." Done! As soon as I do it.
[panting] Ugh.
I'll never get all the work done in time.
Just go on without me and I'll see you there.
Leave you behind? Never! We're pals, Scooch.
So your chores are my chores.
And if we work together, we'll get them done twice as fast.
Eight paws are better than four.
Thanks. That's so many paws I don't know what to do with them all.
OK, the recycling is done. What's next on the list?
"Water the lawn."
Lawn watered! Next!
[yell]
Well, that was... weird.
Windows washed! Next! Aah!
You need a new hose.
Car waxed! Next!
Help!
Bad hose! No!
Phew! Thanks!
I'm here to help.
[blows raspberry]
Bed made!
Toys put away!
[both] Next!
Mail letters.
Whoa! That's a lot of letters.
Mom knows a lot of dogs.
Let's mail, dog. Mail!
There's a mailbox on the other side of the park.
OK, Beans. Let's try this again.
-When I throw the ball... -Uh-huh?
...you chase it and bring it back. And that's fetch.
Got it, Frank.
[sighs]
Hey, watch where you're going, Tag. And who's the new dog?
This is Scooch Pooch. He just moved here, so try to be nice. If you can.
Pleasure to meet you.
We'll see.
[panting] Did I win?
Oh, hey, guys! You wanna play fetch? I'm winning!
-Sorry, we're in a rush. -To do what?
We gotta finish my chores so we can get to the park
to save the best seats for the concert tonight!
A concert? Frank! Can we go? Can we go? Can we go?
-We sure can, Beans. -Yes!
And Tag and Scooch aren't gonna get the best seats, we are.
Yay! I'll go get my concert stuff!
I got my concert stuff! Let's go to the park and get those seats!
Uh, no. The only way to get the best seats
is to stop Tag and Scooch from doing those chores.
Oh, really? Wouldn't it be easier to just get to the park before they do?
[chuckles] Beans, I'm the idea guy of this operation. I'll do the thinking.
Oh! OK! And I'll do the skiing!
Whee!
OK, Scooch, the mailbox is open.
Grab the letters and let's flip 'em and ship 'em!
Frank, should we-- Oooh! It's getting so windy!
[sigh heavily] It's the leaf blower.
[whoosing]
Aah! The mail!
Don't worry, I got 'em!
[grunts]
Mailed it!
[grunts] It didn't work. We blew it!
Yeah, we blew the letters. And then Tag caught them!
Glad you two are still Tag-teaming your chores. I like that teamwork!
And we're almost done, Mom. Because "Eight paws are better than four."
We're a chorenado! [imitates a tornado]
I just hope we get done in time to get the best seats at the concert.
Well, so do I. Because when you work this hard, you deserve a reward.
[police dog] Sergeant Pooch, head to the mall.
We got a K-nine-two-five in progress.
-Copy that. -What's a "K-nine-two-five?"
Wagging in a no-wag zone. Gotta go.
[police siren blaring]
Last one on the list, "Get groceries."
Great! To the grocery store!
Well, that didn't work at all. Should we just go to the park now?
No, we have to stop them at the grocery store.
OK! If you say so. But how am I gonna get all these leaves off me?
-[leaf blower whoosing] -[Beans blubbering]
Ooh! I look like a movie star!
I'll get a shopping cart.
No need.
[beeps]
Already got one.
Vanilla biscuits, cinnamon biscuits,
biscuit-flavored biscuits. And bacon powder.
That's all the groceries. We finished the chores!
Now let's go get the best seats in the park!
[snickers]
Uh... Tag?
No worries. We'll go the other way.
Huh, that's weird.
Yeah. We're boxed in!
How are we gonna get out of here?
By going up.
Gah! Tag's scooter has everything!
Even bird powers! So I guess we're going to the park now?
-Guess again, Beans! -We're going to the airport?
-Guess again, again! -Pizza parlor?
-Absolutely not. -The gymnasium?
No, what we're gonna do is catch up to Tag and Scooch and stop them.
Oh-oh! Well, then we better hurry. Good thing I brought my skis!
Beans, you're not moving.
I am in my mind.
-Ooh! Whoa! -[crash]
Sorry, boxes! Skiing is hard!
There's no way Tag and Scooch can get past our traps.
Mm-mm. And there's no way I can eat any more bananas!
[scrroter revving]
Hey! That's Sam Whippet, the Pawston Car Racing Champion!
You're doggone right I am.
[horn ringing]
Hey, that's a bunch of banana peels! Look out!
[both yell]
Phew! A pillow wall!
[tires screech]
[both] Another pillow wall!
Yet another pillow wall!
Aah! Watch out for the... cows?
Those don't look like the cows we had on the farm.
Probably 'cause they're made of cardboard.
Moo?
Meow?
Frank and Beans? What are you doing in the middle of the road?
We're stopping you from getting the best seats at the concert,
so we can have them!
But Frank said to keep it a secret, so don't tell anybody. Shh!
Why didn't you just go to the park before us?
Because we're doing that now!
Great idea, Frank!
See you later, crocodile!
Oh, no! They'll get the best seats and all we'll see is tails!
No, all they'll see is our tails! I know a shortcut!
[Scooch yelps]
Any sign of them?
Nope. Should we wait for them?
-No! We wanna beat them! -Oh, yeah.
And we are! I see the park!
[Beans] Yay! Go, Frank!
[Frank yells]
[Beans] Huh, all I see are a couple of tails.
[Frank laughs]
We made it! We're gonna see...
So many tails. We're too late.
Aw. We'll never find good seats.
You don't have to. I saved seats for you up front.
The way you two worked together to finish those chores today, you earned it.
[both] Yes!
-Beans? -[Beans] Yeah?
We really messed this up. Now all I can see are tails.
Not me, I can see just fine. I'm tall!
Thanks, Beans!
These are the best seats ever!
Yeah, because eight paws are better than four.
And 12 paws are better than eight.

How do I look, Grandpaw?
Watch the third turn, Tag!
-It's ruff. Get it? Ruff. -[both laugh]
Yeah, because we're dogs. Good one, Grandpaw.
But crew chiefs don't joke in a real race. Luckily, this isn't a real race.
[Clarence imitating engine revving]
Thanks for the engine noise, Clarence.
One day, I'm going to be a Race Cadet and race for real, like Spike.
[sighs] My brother is so lucky.
Oh, you'll get your chance.
But the team is full. And nobody would ever leave the Race Cadets.
I'm leaving the Race Cadets!
No way!
Goodbye, Race Cadets, hello, Space Cadets.
I'm going to space!
That's amazing!
I know. I've always wanted to explore the great beyond.
No, it's amazing because now I can join the Race Cadets!
Not so fast, Sis. Sam Whippet's holding Race Cadet tryouts at the speedway today.
Sam Whippet, he's my hero!
I'm gonna be on the cover of Tire and Track magazine someday.
Just like him. I gotta get to the speedway.
Hold on. To join the Race Cadets,
you'll need someone helping you from the sidelines. A crew chief.
Yep! And I know just the pup for the job.
-Me? -That's right, pal.
I want you to be my Race Cadet crew chief and coach me while I drive.
But I don't know anything about racing cars. Or fixing cars. Or cars.
That's OK. Because I do.
So I'll teach you everything you need to know.
Well, I am a good listener. And a fast learner. So, sure.
Before you say, "No," let me explain why you should do it.
What? But I just said I'll do it.
♪ Before you say no Consider the thrill of speed ♪
But I already agreed.
♪ Let's go before you say no ♪
Uh, I think you're not listening.
♪ I'll teach you everything I know ♪
♪ Before you say no ♪
But, Tag, I just said that I would!
♪ I need you under the hood I know you'll be very good ♪
♪ Before you say no Or pass or no thank you-- ♪
Tag! I'll do it!
Great! Why are you yelling?
I'm yelling because,
I can't wait to be a Race Cadet! Paw pound it!
[Tag] This is gonna be easy.
I guess we're the only dogs who wanna be Race Cadets.
Guess again, you flat tires. Frank and Beans were born to win!
Yeah! We're gonna be bakers!
Yeah-- No. Racers, Beans. Racers.
Oh-oh-oh. Can we still make muffins?
Huh, I guess our competition is Frank and Beans.
Guess again, again, Tag.
Gilber? Cheddar Biscuit? You wanna be Race Cadets?
You know I love performing for a crowd, Sis.
And I love collecting things. Like helmets, and victories!
That's two teams to beat.
We've got this.
[horn ringing]
[cheering]
Yeah!
That's Sam Whippet. Racing champion.
Tire and Track magazine cover dog.
Cool mustache haver.
And founder of the Race Cadets.
I also make a mean grilled cheese. Hi, I'm Sam Whippet.
-[cheering] -Yeah!
And you're here because you want to be Race Cadets, right?
-Yeah! Right! -Sure do!
Let's go, muffins!
Well, not yet Cadets, there's only room for one new team.
Yep, just one driver and a crew chief.
So, the winning team will have to earn it.
I'm going to earn it by being the fastest.
True. Race Cadets are fast. But there's more to it than that.
And over the next few weeks, you'll learn how
as you'll compete in a series of challenges.
When a team wins a challenge, they get a point.
The team with the most points after the final challenge
will join the Race Cadets.
They'll get their own race car,
racing helmets, race training with me
and everything they need to become the racing champions of tomorrow.
Are you ready to start this engine?
-Yeah! -[cheering]
-[horn ringing] -That's the challenge horn, which means,
it's time for the first challenge. And it's a race!
-[cheering] -Let's do it!
But not in race cars. In pedal cars!
-[groaning] -[unenthusiastic] Yay.
And you're going to build those pedal cars yourselves!
Yes! Yeah! So awesome!
I know how to build balloon animals. But cars, not so much.
Don't worry. Just follow the instructions, work together and listen to each other.
You can't go wrong. Any questions?
[clears throat] Can we, uh, pick another challenge that's a lot easier?
I'm afraid not. Anyone else?
When will this challenge happen?
The first challenge will start... now! Go, dogs! Go!
[cheering]
How great is this challenge?
It's got building and racing, my two favorite things!
The instructions say to start by separating all the parts by color.
I can do that. Let's see, I'll start with green and--
Instructions? We don't need instructions!
I build cars all the time. I know exactly what to do.
That's great. How many pedal cars have you built before?
Pedal cars? None. Why?
No reason. But maybe I'll get the manual. Just in case.
Looks like the blue bolt goes in the blue opening.
And it looks like I'm a moose!
Ah, Cheddar Biscuit, we don't have time to clown around.
Now we do. If we split up the work, we'll be done in half the time.
Which means plenty of time for...
[honking]
We're supposed to listen to each other!
-But you're not. -See?
See what? I wasn't listening.
Beans! I had no idea you could build a pedal car!
I'm just doing what the pictures tell me to do.
And I'll do what you tell me to do.
Because pictures, my friend, are your thing.
I see things and I think them!
Sounds like your team is talking and listening!
Are you sure you don't wanna hear the instructions?
Yep, they'll just slow me down.
Hear that? Neither does Tag. Because she's not listening!
You've all completed your pedal cars.
Some of you listened to each other, and some of you didn't.
Time to see which road leads to victory. Let's race!
[cheering]
Ready? Set...
Pedal, dogs, pedal!
Time to get this show on the road!
[honking]
[Sam] And the green car takes the lead!
Yeah!
Not for long, because I'm toasting this biscuit!
But the blue car is on the move, leaving the purple car in last place!
Tag, you fell behind! What's wrong?
Nothing. Just keeping the race exciting. Watch this.
See you at the finish line, guys!
[Sam] And the purple car takes the lead!
[laughing] This is exciting!
[panting]
Beans, we're losing! Do something!
Frank? Where are you? I can't see you, but I can hear you!
I'm in our car, Beans. I'm talking to you through your headset.
Oh-oh-oh! Ooh! Huh! That was a close one!
But how did you get in my headset? It's so small!
Gilber, something's wrong with the car!
Can you be more specific?
Yeah, the steering wheel came off!
Because you clowned around instead of following the instructions.
Oh, let me check the manual.
[yells] And I just lost two tires!
Argh! That's on a different page.
Forget the manual! I'm spinning like a unicycle wheel.
[laughs]
And blue rises to number two!
Beans! I'm in second place.
Yay! Wait, is that good? How many places are there?
[Sam] Purple enters the final stretch with a big leap!
Looks like we did it, Scooch! There's no way we can lose now.
-[tires screech] -[grunts]
No! I'm pushing as hard as I can, but the pedals are jammed!
-We can fix it! -How?
I've got the directions right here! And I'll talk you through them.
Because I'm your crew chief!
OK, Crew chief. I'm listening.
Here it is! "If you didn't follow the directions,
and your car is stuck, loosen the pedal rod and twist it."
[laughs] Tag's stuck! Frank is gonna win it all!
Yeah, and Beans too.
Yay! And Beans too!
[sighs] What now?
That's it! Now pedal like crazy!
Go, paws, go!
There's the finish line! I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna win!
We did it, Scooch!
You sure did.
-[slurps] -You lost.
And we got ice cream!
Frank and Beans won?
That's right. Because this challenge was about listening.
To me, and to each other.
You were right. You said follow the instructions.
I should've slowed down and listened to you.
That's what Frank and Beans did. So they won.
Yeah, we did. Uh-huh.
Tag, you didn't listen to Scooch until it was too late.
And that cost you the race. The good news? You finished.
The bad news? No points.
And no points for Cheddar Biscuit and Gilber either.
I need the manual to fix this!
Argh! I don't have the manual. But I do have a new pirate hat!
Arrgh!
Because they're still not listening to each other.
I'm sorry I didn't listen to you sooner, Scooch.
That's OK. We'll win the next challenge. If you listen to me.
I will.
It's not all bad news.
Tire and Track magazine loves the design of your car.
So they sent their photographer.
I'm Cam Snapshot. And I'm putting you on the cover.
