# Oh, Waffle Leaping around like a...

-Arrf!

-# ..frog

# I just want to say one thing

# You're such a clever dog

# So many nights we're awake when you're woofing

# We still love you

# Everybody!

-ALL:

-# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# You're such a clever dog

# Such a clever dog, you are

# Whoa oh, oh, oh

# Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! #

Arrf, arrf!

Arrf, arrf!

EVIE: Last night, we slept on the kitchen floor

to stop Waffle woofing.

Now he's woofing again to wake us up.

Shh! Waffle!

Where's my...?

My slipper?

Oi! Waffle. That's my slipper.

-Morning, Evie.

-Morning.

-Please don't chew it, Waffle.

Good morning, Waffle.

-Morning, Doug.

-Ugh!

Arrf!

Morning, pup. How did you sleep?

Fact, it's time for breakfast.

No more slipper, puppy.

Yum, yum, Waffle.

-WAFFLE:

-Yum, Yum, Evie. Yum.

-Did you just hear that, Doug?

-What?

Waffle just said my name.

Evie, dogs can't talk.

-Say Doug.

-Where do you keep your cereal?

Oh, up there.

Waffle, say Doug.

Now then, Waffle, today is the day we find out who your owners are.

Do you know that?

Oh. Good.

Jess is taking you to the vets to scan your microchip.

The chip is very tiny, it's somewhere in there.

Or maybe in there.

And it will tell you everything that we need to know about your owners.

And maybe, tonight, we can all sleep in our own beds.

Waffle, I don't want you to leave.

This is your home, isn't it?

-WAFFLE:

-Home, Doug.

Wow.

-What?

-I told you he could talk.

What? How?

-Morning.

-Jess, Waffle just spoke.

Waffle...

..say something to me. Anything.

Oh, you are awake, Mrs Brooklyn-Bell.

-I am, Mr Brooklyn-Bell.

-Come on, up.

-Oop!

-All right.

-Waffle goes today.

Going to take him to the vets and...

Waffle?

EVIE: Waffle?

-He just... Waffle?

-Waffle?

Come on, let's move all of this. He'll be in here. He's very tiny.

I'll take this upstairs.

-Come on, Waffle. Where are you?

-Waffle!

-Waffle. Waffle.

-Waffle.

Waffle.

-Arrf!

-Waffle.

Waffle, are you in here?

-Arrf!

-You are.

-Arrf!

Oh, you were hiding so you could stay.

Hiding is a good idea.

Shh!

Right, has anyone found Waffle yet?

No, I don't know where the dog is.

-Evie, any sign of Waffle?

-No.

I'm just going to go and play with my pram outside.

Why, Evie, that is a very hairy doll you have there.

I just wanted to keep him for a little bit longer.

Oh, Evie, his owners are going to be missing him.

I know. Why don't you come to the vets? You can spend more time

-with Waffle before he goes back to his owner.

-Yeah.

Go get washed, dressed, have some breakfast. Waffle needs a garden wee

-before we put him in the car.

-Up you go, you two.

Come on, then. Let's get Waffle in the car, so we can say our goodbyes.

-It was nice knowing you, pup.

-WAFFLE CRIES

I don't think he wants to leave us, Dad.

-Brooklyn-Bells?

-Good morning, Mrs Hobbs.

That puppy, is it going now?

Yes, Mrs Hobbs, it's going back to its owners today.

Oh, my George will be so relieved.

Did you hear that, Georgie?

No more woofing. Oh, cuddle time.

Yes, come on.

Oop. I've got Waffle's harness here to keep him secure.

-Gramps lent it to me.

-Thanks.

Where is Waffle?

Doug?

-Waffle!

-Arrf!

EVIE: Doug was holding on to Waffle very tightly. Look.

I don't want you to go, Waffle.

Doug, it's time for you to say goodbye to Waffle now.

But me and Waffle both moved in here yesterday and I want us

to get used to this family together.

I know, but it will be OK living here without Waffle. I promise.

And how come Evie gets to go to the vets and I don't?

Because you need to unpack and you need to settle into your new home.

Anyway, you can't go to the vets dressed as a wolf.

Come on, let's get Waffle in the car.

Good lad.

Good morning, vet.

Oh, good morning, Mr Meagher. You've brought Pickles in to see me.

-Yes, I have.

-Arrf!

Oh, look at that sweet puppy, Pickles.

-PICKLES:

-Raarr, who's a pretty boy, then?

-WAFFLES:

-Oh, thanks.

Good boy, Waffle. Good boy.

When I pass the scanner over Waffle's coat, it'll ping

and that'll say that it's found the microchip.

Then we can look up your owners' details.

Give them a call and then they can come and pick you up.

So, are you ready?

Good girl. OK.

So, usually it's around here.

Sometimes the microchip can move.

Excuse me, Waffle. Thank you.

-Hm.

-What's wrong?

Well, usually it pings when it finds the microchip.

I don't think Waffle has a microchip.

His owners may not have put one in.

That's unusual because all responsible dog owners know

that you must.

I'll have to take him to the kennels

and hope that his owners get in touch.

But why can't Waffle stay at our house until his owners come forward?

Would you like to come home with us, Waffle?

-WAFFLE:

-Home!

What did he just say? Did he just...?

Arrf, arrf!

We'd have to do a lot of paperwork, but, yes!

-Just for a little while longer, though.

-Arrf!

Ooh! Ooh!

-Arrf!

-Raarr!

-WAFFLE:

-Oh, Pickles, home!

-PICKLES:

-Going home? Going home?

-WAFFLE:

-Going home.

We can keep Waffle! We can keep Waffle! We can keep Waffle.

-Can we really keep Waffle?

-Just for a little while longer

while we wait for his owners to come and claim him. Remember, Evie!

Yeah, but it could take weeks and that's ages.

-Oh, let's go and get his bed ready.

-And he can play with my pet...

-Jess...

-Is that OK, Simon?

He didn't have a microchip,

so it was either go to the kennels or stay here with us. OK?

-If you are going to stay here for a little while, OK.

-Oh.

But we're going to need some dog rules, OK, Waffle? Like...

..my slipper is my slipper.

-SQUISH!

-Ugh!

Oh, it's all wet like it's been chewed or some...

-Oh, no, Waffle. Oh, yuck. Is that wet with wee?

-Arrf!

Oh, what is this? A flying squirrel?!

Oh, dear me.

Don't worry, Mrs Hobbs. It was only my slipper.

No! I mean, oh, dear me, I thought the dog had gone, Jess.

Oh, yeah, change of plan, Mrs Hobbs.

Waffle will be staying with us for a little bit longer.

Only until we find his owners.

You'll get to know him much better.

George and I can't live next door to a dog, Jess.

You're a vet - you know.

Cats and dogs do not mix.

-We need to find Waffle's owner and quick.

-Agreed.

I'll put some posts on social media and print some leaflets,

so Waffle's owners see him and come to get him. Smile, Waffle.

This will go on the leaflets, so your owners see you

and come and find you. There we go. Smile!

-WAFFLE:

-Smile!

-Oh, he spoke again.

-Very good, Doug.

That sounded like it was Waffle talking.

It wasn't me, Dad, it was Waffle.

It was. I heard him talking at the vets.

-He can talk!

-He can talk.

I think we all need a good night's sleep to calm our lively

imaginations. Isn't that right, Waffle?

Right, come on, you guys. Here we go. Selfie.

EVIE: So, Waffle will stay for a little bit longer.

And that meant stair gates, toilet training

and a lot more doggie fun and mischief to come.

-# Everybody!

-ALL:

-Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# He such a clever dog

# Such a clever dog you are
