Go, dog, go!

Cars, blimps, boats, bikes and trikes
Just being awesome?
Welcome to Pawston
Go, go, go, go, go, dog, go
-Hey, go... -Go, go, go, go, go, dog, go!
And do we really wanna stop?
No, no, no
-So, just, go, go, go, go, go-go-go -Go, dog, go
Go, dog, go!
"Frank and Beans with Chili."
Whoa. Whoa, Tag!
This ramp isn't for you. It's for Chili's big stunt.
I know, Grandpaw. He's my favourite stunt dog ever.
I just wanted to test it out.
Just tested it. It works great.
I can't wait to see this stunt tonight,
which is why I'm the first one here.
Actually, you're the second one here.
Beans?
That's right! I got lots of beans!
Baked beans, pinto beans, refried beans, garbanzo beans!
I also made franks to go with all the beans.
I'll take one of each.
Nope. No can do. Sorry!
This a picnic for me and Frank while we wait for the stunt show to start.
It's our Friendiversary.
You're celebrating the day you two became friends?
Yep. We met at a picnic.
I brought the beans, and Frank brought the franks.
And I liked franks, and Frank liked beans.
And Frank liked me, and I liked Frank.
And the rest is history.
Cool.
Another cool thing!
Hey, cuz.
Hi, Chili!
Cuz? Chili's your cousin?
But he lives in Barkensas, so I don't see him much.
Chili, I can't wait for my best friend Frank to meet you.
I already have.
Chili, can I have your pawtograph?
Frank? How do you know Chili?
I was havin' a bowl of chili at the Big Bowl Diner and there he was,
eating some franks.
Next thing I know, I'm chilling with Chili.
Wow. You're so lucky.
Yeah, he's awesome.
The spiky hair, the motorcycle, the amazing catchphrase.
I'm Chili, but I'm never cold.
Glad you're here, Frank! I made us a picnic. Have a seat.
Sorry, no time. I'm helping Chili with his stunt. Really got to go.
Chili, you ready to roll?
Later, cuz.
Bye, Frank.
Beans, are-- are you crying?
No!
OK, I am.
Because Frank forgot our Friendiversary
and now he's best friends with Chili instead of me!
Beans, there's nothing to worry about. You're Frank's best friend.
You're right.
I know what I have to do.
-Talk to Frank? -Nope.
I need to be more awesome like Chili,
so Frank will wanna hang out with me again.
Or you can just be yourself.
Please, Tag! Help make me a Chili dog!
OK. If that's what you want, that's what we'll do.
Good idea! We'll start with a new 'do.
A little more spiky.
A little more eyes.
And, wow!
Whoa. My hair's awesome like Chili's!
Wow, Hambonio, your pups are really growing up fast.
I remember when Chewart and Barkus were this big.
Beans, how do you know so much about Hambonio's family?
Hambonio's been my groomer forever, so we talk.
And boy, once you get Hambonio going, he never stops!
It's true, I'm chatty.
And Beans is a great listener.
See, Beans? You don't need to be more like Chili.
You're great the way you are.
Now all I need is a cool walk and catchphrase, like Chili.
What? You have a great walk.
Please, please, please, please?
OK, if that's what you want.
I know just the dog to teach you.
I'm Sam Whippet, and there's more to racing than winning.
Wow. Love that catchphrase!
I got chills.
Wanna give it a try?
But I can't do that.
I don't even know how to walk in slow motion.
You don't have to. That's Sam's walk and catchphrase.
You just have to do your own.
Look, here's mine!
I'm Tag. Go, dog, go!
Wow!
Now you go.
I'm Beans, and I'm really sorry about that.
Maybe try something more confident?
Come on, Beans! You got this!
I'm Beans and... I never spill.
-Yes! -That's the one!
Wow!
You're on your way.
And thanks for the lasagne, Beans. Best one yet.
You made Sam a lasagne?
Oh, yeah. Beans makes me a lasagne every time I win a race.
See, Beans? You're a good listener and an amazing cook.
You're great the way you are!
But I'd be even greater if I had a motorcycle like Chili.
And then I'll speed in...
and Frank will see me and say,
"Wow, he's got a motorcycle! Later, Chili."
That should do it, Beans. You ever ridden one of these?
Nope! But how hard could it be?
Where's the steering wheel?
I'm doin' it, Tag!
Great. Now let's try it on the ground.
I'm really doin' it, Tag!
Great, Beans. Now let's try without the training wheels.
All right! You can let go!
I already did!
Stay cool, Beans!
Wow, I'm really, really doing it, Tag!
Frank is gonna love this!
Let's go show him.
Now stop the bike and let me hop on.
Stop? Wha-- When do I learn how to do that?
Looking good, Chili.
This banner really captures my strong jaw.
Have you guys seen Beans?
No. Why?
Well, you're about to.
I'm Beans, and I never spill.
Hey, Frank. You wanna take a ride?
I can't 'cause--
'cause I'm still working with Chili on that stunt.
OK.
Come on, Chili.
Later, cuz.
I got a new hairdo, a new catchphrase,
and I'm riding a motorcycle,
and Frank didn't even notice.
Maybe the reason it didn't work is because you're trying to be Chili
when you should just be Beans.
Oh, you're right. I tried everything to be like Chili!
Everything except...
doing a stunt.
That's it! I have to do a stunt. Great idea, Tag!
Wait! That wasn't my idea!
OK, this cup is the Town Centre fountain,
and these books are the ramps.
This motorcycle is a motorcycle.
Chili is gonna jump over the Town Centre, like this.
But my stunt is gonna be even better.
I'm gonna jump from this blimp to this blimp.
No, Beans. You're going too far.
You don't have to do this to impress Frank.
Yes, I do!
Frank is my best friend, and I have to do whatever it takes.
What would you do if Scooch stopped hanging out with you?
Whatever it takes.
OK. Let me make sure this is ready to fly.
I wonder where Beans is.
And what's going on with those blimps?
All right, Beans. You're set to jump. How are you feeling?
I'm feeling great.
When Frank sees me jump off this blimp...
which is very high up, by the way,
he's gonna be so impressed!
And he's gonna forget all about Chili and be my best friend again.
So you're sure you wanna do this?
Yes, absolutely. Without a doubt. One hundred percent. Definitely.
Because you really don't have to.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh, because I really don't wanna do it. I'm so scared, Tag!
Phew, what a relief. Let's get back down to the ground.
And you were right. I don't need to be like Chili.
Exactly! Because you're Beans.
I didn't need a new hairdo, or a catchphrase, or a motorcycle.
And I definitely don't need to do this stunt!
I couldn't agree more, so hop off that thing and let's go.
You got it!
Beans?
Beans!
Good thing I installed those parachutes.
Beans! You could've been hurt. What're you doing?
I'm just trying to be your best friend again.
What?
Well, you were hanging out with Chili all day,
and I got scared you didn't like me anymore.
You even forgot our Friendiversary, Frank.
I didn't forget. That's why I was hanging out with Chili all day.
I was planning a surprise for ya.
Everyone, Chili's about to perform the greatest stunt of his career
in honour of Beans.
Oh, the best listener, the best cook,
and the best friend a dog could ever have.
Happy Friendiversary, Beans.
See, Beans? Told ya you were great just the way you are.
Wow! Amazing, Chili!
A friendship banner?
Yeah, I know how much you love banners.
I made something for you.
I made franks and beans because I like franks, and you like beans.
And I like you, and you like me.
My work here is done.
"Little Hound on the Prairie."
"And so, Kelly Korgi, if you come sing at the Bonestand,
it will make Pawston's hundredth birthday perfect.
Sincerely, your biggest fan, Tag Barker.
P.S. I hope you got my other hundred postcards, too."
Hey, Grandmaw and Grandpaw.
That wagon looks really old.
Sure is. We just picked it up from the Pawston Museum.
It's Pawston's very first vehicle, a steam-powered wagon.
Wait, so you can drive this?
Sure. A hundred years ago.
But it doesn't work anymore.
Still, we thought it should be at the birthday celebration
'cause it's as old as Pawston.
But it doesn't have to look that old.
Tag, Mort, get scrubbin'.
When we're done cleaning it up, it'll look as good as it did the day it was built.
Well, who built it?
None other than your great-great-great-grandfather,
Chewlysses Droolius Barker.
So, the dog who founded Pawston also invented the first vehicle?
Yep, but he couldn't have done it without--
Tagatha Barker.
I wanted to tell that part.
Tagatha Barker helped invent the first vehicle?
Wait. I was named after her, right?
You sure were. She was your great-great-grandmother.
Oh, what'd she do? What's the story? I gotta know!
Well, if we're gonna tell an old story, we're gonna need some banjo.
It all started a hundred years ago.
Right in this very spot.
No, wait. This very spot.
Of course, a hundred years ago, none of this was here.
When Chewlysses and Tagatha arrived,
they knew this was the place they would call home.
This is the place we'll call home.
But, Paw-Paw, there's nothing here.
No. But our wagon broke down, so it's as good a place as any to start our town.
And we'll call it--
Pawston.
Great name.
But there's only one tree,
and one tree won't give us enough wood to build a whole town.
You'd be surprised how much you can build with one tree.
So Chewlysses and Tagatha cut down that tree
and used it to construct Pawston's first building.
-Hello! -What?
Paw-Paw, look! Other dogs!
Not just other dogs, Tagatha. Maybe new neighbours.
Hello there, yonder dogs!
Oh, hello!
Are you looking for a town to call home?
That depends. Do you fancy my hat?
Yes?
Then, yes! We are looking for a town to call home.
I'm Lady Lydiana.
I'm Geraldiah, the telegram dog.
And I'm Muttfieldington the Magician!
So, this town you mentioned, where is it?
Right there.
That's just a house. Where's the post office?
And the magic store?
And the hat shop. Where will I get more hats?
Right here!
That house can be a post office, a magic store, and a hat shop.
And so, the other dogs decided to stay in Pawston.
As a town of five, Pawston got along quite well.
But when Cumbersome Dog and Dainty Dog came along,
it became a town of seven.
And everything changed.
The dogs of Pawston were not happy.
I'm not happy.
Where's my moving bonnet? I'm leaving!
Here's a telegram. It says, "I'm leaving, too!"
Wait, wait!
This town can be what all of you need.
I just need to get more wood to build more buildings.
So please sit, and stay.
So the dogs decided to stay,
hoping Chewlysses was a dog of his word.
Did you figure out how we can get more wood, Paw-Paw?
I did! There's a forest over yonder with trees as far as the eye can see.
Which is why I've been working on this all day--
a steam-powered engine!
I used our teakettle, some rope, and all our wooden spoons.
Great idea. It's going to make bringing the wood back here so much easier.
And I think it's about ready. Let's test it out!
Hold on, let's try it again.
It's not working.
We'll never get that wood now.
Maybe I can fix it,
and we'll get all the wood we'll ever need.
Yeah, you can give it a shot, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
I've tried everything to get this wagon to work.
I guess the town of Pawston is no more.
The end.
That's it? They just gave up on the wagon?
So how'd they build Pawston?
I was just seeing if you were paying attention.
Anyway, Tagatha--
OK, my turn to tell the story.
Tagatha refused to give up.
She worked on the steam engine until she found the problem.
I found the problem.
There's a loose rope between the spoon shaft and the kettle knob.
And, lo and behold, the engine started.
Whoa, Tagatha! How did you--
I'm a fix-it dog, Paw-Paw. It's what I do.
Now, make sure those dogs don't leave Pawston.
I'm gonna go find some trees!
Proceed forth, Dog. Proceed forth!
What does that mean?
Oh, that was their funny, old-timey way
of saying, "Go, Dog, go."
But as Tagatha drove, she didn't find a single tree.
No trees here. No trees there.
Just a lot of dirt.
How can we build a town if I can't find any trees?
Lookin' for trees? To build a town?
Who said that?
I said that.
The name's Scratch.
'Cause, you know, all the scratchin'.
I'm Tagatha. Do you live here?
Yep, I'm a wild dog. I live off the land.
Well, I live in Pawston. It's a new town.
Or it will be as soon as we find some wood so we can build it.
Well, if you're lookin' for wood, I can help you find it.
I would very much appreciate that.
What's it like being a wild dog?
It's great. I wake up and play in the dirt.
Then in the afternoon, I play in the dirt. Then at night--
You play in the dirt?
No, I sleep in the dirt
because I'm exhausted from playing in the dirt all day.
Makes sense.
So, you're all by yourself?
Yep, but I don't mind because I'm a wild dog.
Sure, it gets lonely, but I got the dirt and the rocks.
Plus, I have this little farm with potatoes, carrots, and other crops.
So, with her new friend Scratch by her side,
Tagatha drove through many perils.
Fog!
Bugs!
Bears!
Mountain lions!
Chickens!
Which I usually like unless they're chasing me!
Tumbleweed traffic jam.
But eventually, they arrived at a forest
with all the wood Pawston could ever need.
This forest has all the wood Pawston could ever need.
Told ya!
But how do we chop the trees down?
Leave that to me and my wild dog teeth.
Nice chomping, Scratch.
Thanks.
Hold it right there.
Hold what right where?
Just hand over your gold.
Yeah!
But we don't have any gold.
Do you have any sandwiches?
What about that wood?
Wait, you live in a forest. What do you need with more wood?
Well, we have to take something. We're bandits.
Yeah!
The name's Fast Frankie, and this here is Beanie the Kid.
Yeah!
Now hand over the wood.
Tagatha and Scratch had come too far, so they returned--
To Pawston with the wood.
Mort, I'm in the middle of a sentence.
Sorry, but you said it was my turn now.
Tagatha and Scratch had come too far to hand over their wood to bandits.
I found a sandwich.
So they made a run for it.
Run for it!
Wait! Come back here!
Come on, tumbleweeds. Move it! We got a wagon to catch!
Feather monsters!
Lions!
Fur monsters!
Bugs!
Fog monster!
And they finally made it back to old Pawston with the lumber.
Tagatha, you did it! You made the wagon go!
And you got the wood! I never should've doubted you.
For the last time, give us that wood.
'Cause we're bandits.
We won't be giving you our wood.
But give up your bandit ways, and you may live in our community.
What should we do now?
All right, it's fine. Then go ahead-- Yes. Just that-- Yes.
Go ahead and ask. It's fine.
Can we live in a tree?
I'm afraid we don't have any trees.
But we could if we grow some.
And I know just the dog to help.
Who? Me?
Yes! You said you like to grow things.
So how'd you like to live in Pawston and grow some trees?
You know, I think I might like living in a town.
And having a good friend like you, Tagatha.
Count me in!
Let's shake on it.
Let's paw-pound it.
What's that?
Pawston was finally becoming the community of Chewlysses' dreams.
I very much like your hat!
We just got a telegram from a ball company.
They want to open a ball store.
In Pawston!
All thanks to the steam-powered wagon and Tagatha's--
Daring adventure. The end!
I wanted to finish the story.
Wow. What a story. I'd say Tagatha is a real Pawston hero.
And I'd say this wagon looks as good as it did a hundred years ago.
Maybe we can get it to run and use it for rides at the party.
Sorry, Tag. Can't be done.
That's exactly what Chewlysses said to Tagatha.
Proceed forth, dog. Proceed forth!
