0:01:20 > 0:01:23"I've tried my best, but I'm not made like all the rest and
0:01:23 > 0:01:28"that's why I've made up my mind to leave this town, my home, behind."
0:01:28 > 0:01:32On her own and out of place, she sighs a sigh and packs her case.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28"Oh, no, not at all. You've got it wrong.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36"Stand tall. Be proud."
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Her tummy flips, her belly flops as finally the penny drops.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46"That dog is right.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50"It's plain to see, there's nothing wrong with being me."

0:03:15 > 0:03:19"We've really missed our odd dog out.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24"You've made us all appreciate that being different is really great."

0:03:44 > 0:03:46..be who you are.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Phwoar! That's a brilliant story.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58and helped other sausage dogs realise they're all doggie
0:03:58 > 0:04:00superstars in their own way.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02That's cool.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Now, it's time for you to go to sleep.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09All right, dream away and be proud that you are exactly who you are.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Sleep tight, and I'll see you soon for another bedtime story.
