Waffle Grows Waffle the Wonder Dog

# Oh, Waffle

# Oh, Waffle # Leaping around like a frog

# I just want to say one thing

# You're such a clever dog

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

# But we still love you

Everybody!

# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# You're such a clever dog

# Such a clever dog, you are

# Oh, oh, oh, oh

# Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. #

It was a sad day.

Waffle's owner hadn't been found,

and so Waffle was going to go to the kennels

to wait for a new family to adopt him.

I wish Waffle could stay.

Stay.

But my dad says you can't.

WAFFLE WHIMPERS

GUITAR PLAYS

WAFFLE BARKS

-THEY GASP

-Shh, shh.

WAFFLE BARKS

It's just dad playing his electric guitar.

Stop barking or Mrs Hobbs will get upset with you.

WAFFLE BARKS

-SHE BANGS ON WALL

-Keep the noise down in there!

She already is.

WAFFLE BARKS

We'd better go tell Dad to stop playing

if we want Waffle to stop woofing.

GUITAR CONTINUES

BANGING CONTINUES

WAFFLE BARKS

Dad, stop playing!

It's making Waffle woof!

WAFFLE BARKS

And Mrs Hobbs is knocking on the wall from next door.

Listen.

She was.

HE PLAYS GUITAR WAFFLE BARKS

-MRS HOBBS BANGS

-Quiet!

WAFFLE BARKS HE SCOFFS

Waffle, I really wanted to finish my new song.

Maybe if I play it a little bit quieter.

HE PLAYS GUITAR

WAFFLE BARKS SHE BANGS

Take him out to the garden, please, where he can't hear me play.

-Oh, and please pick up his toys from the lawn.

-OK.

-He'll need to take those later.

-Come on, Waffle.

-Does Waffle really have to go today?

-Yes, he does.

It's all arranged. Jess'll be home later

and then she's taking him to the local kennels.

It won't be long before...

He finds a new family to live with, I know.

I'm sorry, Doug,

but we're still getting used to living here.

Just the four of us.

Plus, it won't be long before that little puppy is a big dog,

and a lot more trouble.

# Oh, Waffle

# Oh, Waffle

# Though we've only known you for a few weeks

# We just want to say thank you

# For all your little... #

-# For all your little... #

-TOY SQUEAKS

Good one.

# For all your little squeaks. #

WAFFLE BARKS

-HE SIGHS

-You again?

TOY SQUEAKS WAFFLE BARKS

Can't get enough of my music, huh?

-Is that it?

-WAFFLE BARKS

-HE CHUCKLES

-Great.

A fan at last.

WAFFLE BARKS

Good dog.

Good boy. OK, are you ready now?

Here we go.

HE PLAYS GUITAR

What should I do with... Oh!

-HE SIGHS

-Whoops.

..Waffle's garden toys?

Doug, go and wash your hands, please.

I'll sort this out.

# One, two, goodbye to you

# It's so sad

# But it's no good you're being here

# Cos we live next door to a cat

# One, two, three... #

And it was Mrs Hobbs cat that Waffle wanted to say goodbye to.

# We'd like to say thank you

# For all your little... #

Hold on. Where's Waffle?

Waffle, that's when you come in with your squeaky toy.

MRS HOBBS SCREAMS

The dog! The dog!

-SCREAMING CONTINUES

-Waffle!

-It's a dog! It's a dog!

-Doug, Evie!

-Coming!

-Quick!

Go, go, go! Waffle!

# Waffle doggie

SCREAMING CONTINUES

# Waffle doggie

-# Waffle doggie... #

-Mrs Hobbs, is it Waffle?

-Is Waffle in there?

-The dog! The dog!

I don't see him, I just see Mrs Hobbs and George.

-Oh. Hello, Mrs Hobbs.

-Hi!

-Hey!

Hi, Mrs Hobbs!

WAFFLE BARKS

-Oh.

-Your dog has just invaded my house.

Are you sure it was Waffle, Mrs Hobbs?

What a question to ask, Mr Brooklyn-Bell.

Of course I'm sure.

It's only that...

Well, look.

-Waffle's in our house.

-WAFFLE BARKS

# You're such a clever dog

# Such a clever dog, you are. #

How did he?

That dog was in here.

It was him in my house.

I know it hasn't been easy, Mrs Hobbs,

living next door to a dog - but worry no more.

Waffle is leaving us today.

Really?

-SHE GASPS

-That is good news.

-Oh.

-Oh.

Isn't it, Georgie? Isn't it?

The doggie is going!

It must have been you, Waffle.

But how did you get into Mrs Hobbs' house and back here?

Can you show us, please? WAFFLE BARKS

What is it, Waffle?

-Waffle?

-He's trying to show us.

-WAFFLE WHIMPERS

-It... It's...

It's a tunnel.

-What?!

-Goes all the way next door...

-What?!

..into Mrs Hobbs' house.

-WAFFLE BARKS

-Waffle,

is this what you used to get through?

Clever dog.

Did you want to say a last goodbye to George the cat?

-WAFFLE BARKS

-Waffle made this tunnel

and now I'll have to fix it before Mrs Hobbs spots it.

You have caused so much damage and mischief

since you've lived here, Waffle.

WAFFLE WHIMPERS PHONE RINGS

Oh, it's your mum, Evie.

Hi, Jess.

Yeah, OK.

No.

No, no, no. I'll tell them.

All right. OK, bye. See you later. Bye.

Please don't say Waffle's going.

I'm sorry, Evie. Your mum's on her way home

and she's going to take Waffle to the kennels now.

I'm not letting Waffle leave.

I'm so sorry, Evie, but Waffle has to go.

I'm going to miss Waffle.

Me too.

Me too.

Do you want to give him a hug too, Simon?

OK. Come on then.

Good boy.

Look at us.

Do we really want Waffle to remember us like this?

-No.

-All sad.

How about I fix that hole later

and we go and give Waffle a proper send off?

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Come on, then.

# Oh, Waffle

# Oh, Waffle

# Leaping around like a frog

# I just want to say one thing

# You're such a clever dog

Can we join in? WAFFLE BARKS

# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# Such a clever dog

# Such a clever dog, you are. #

Mum! Simon made Waffle a new song.

So that Waffle will always remember us.

Waffle helped with the squeaks, too.

-Didn't you? Yeah.

-WAFFLE BARKS

Do you like your new song?

Love it.

Did he...?

Did you...?

Did Waffle just talk?

Yes, we've been trying to tell you that for ages.

Now do you believe us?

More music!

-JESS:

-He really is a wonder dog, Simon,

and he's one of the family now.

We're going to miss him so much.

You're going to make me say it, aren't you?

Well...

I don't think Mrs Hobbs will be too happy, but maybe...

OK. Waffle can stay.

THEY CHEER ALL: Woohoo!

# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# You're such a clever dog

# Such a clever dog, you are. #

What's this?

The next day, after Mum and I took Waffle into her vets

to get microchipped,

we gave him a special collar.

We were now officially his owners!

Do you like your new collar?

WAFFLE BARKS

Come on. Come here.

WAFFLE BARKS

And Waffle the puppy soon grew into Waffle the dog.

Our very own Brooklyn Bell dog!

And Waffle's cat flap became too small for him,

and he got his own big dog door.

ALL: Aww.

Good boy.

Well done.

Waffle! Good dog. Good doggie.

Go on. Go fetch it. Go on.

Oh, he's definitely better behaved now that he's older.

I know.

Look at him.

Hold on. What is he doing?

Waffle, no!

-Waffle, Waffle!

-Waffle, come back.

-Waffle, no.

-MRS HOBBS:

-Shoo, dog. Out of here.

Waffle, come back. I'm getting him.

Yep, Waffle has a lot to learn -

and we still have a lot to learn

about our Waffle the Wonder Dog.

Waffle!

Everybody!
