Horrid Henry and the Lost Dog

==Synopsis==
Henry finds out the meaning of best friend - but in the end, will his real character be revealed?
==Plot==
The episode begins with Henry trying to spray water at Margaret with his double drencher while she and Susan were combing their hairs when he hears a strange sound somewhere but he resumes on his target as Mum approaches him and he sprays her by accident when she called his name. Henry apologizes and tells Mum he was aiming for 'Bogey-Brain' and she assumes he meant Margaret after hearing her laughing next door. Mum tells Henry that he needs to stay out of trouble then snatches his water blaster away and gives him a shovel to dig a hole for her new rosebush. With that, Henry screams 'NOOOOOOOOO!!!', opening the title card.
Later, Henry finds a dog behind a garden gnome and he licks him after hearing the same sound from the beginning thinking it was Peter. They heard Mum’s voice and go into Henry’s fort where the dog sniffs an old shoe and Henry gives him a biscuit from his secret stash then calls him Basher which he likes. Then they see what Margaret and Susan are doing. Henry tells Basher 'Girls' as Basher growls. Margaret asks if Lady Susan wants a custard cream. Susan says yes to Madam Margaret. Henry and Basher lick their tongues out to the picnic Margaret and Susan were having and eating cakes as well. So Basher goes to get it but Henry tells him not to. Then Henry distracts and asks the girls a joke which Margaret hopes would be good. The joke was, 'What's got 4 legs, 4 eyes and smells of stinky cheese?'. Margaret and Susan don't know as Basher takes the picnic into Henry's garden. Henry says to the girls ‘You two!’ and guffaws. Margaret laughs fakely. Margaret and Susan turn around and realize that their picnic is gone. Margaret soon starts to scream.
Henry and Basher were back in his Purple Hand Gang fort eating the girls' picnic when they hear Peter's voice. Henry goes over to see Peter who told him that Mum wants to know how he’s getting on with the hole. After seeing the hole isn't dug yet, Peter goes to tell Mum even though Henry told him he doesn’t has to. Basher starts digging the hole very fast to get Henry out of trouble but then he digs too deep making the garden gnome falling inside and Henry tries to tell him to stop and shouts very loud. Basher finally stops digging but then Henry hear Mum's voice and falls into the hole until Basher digs him away back out again.
Henry grabs a shovel and starts to fill the hole a bit with Basher helping as fast as they can before Mum comes into the garden with Peter. Mum finally sees the big hole and Henry takes all the credit while hiding Basher behind his legs. Mum was proud of Henry for doing a smashing job and leaves as he goes off into the bushes with Basher but Peter was not fooled though as he looks at the dug up hole, he finds a footprint and a piece of hair. Peter knows there was something suspicious going on and tends to solve this case.
That rainy night, Henry watches through his bedroom window worried about Basher in his fort and goes to visit him. Peter looks through a microscope at the hair he found and checks his book saying that it is an animal hair not human. Henry goes into outside to his fort and gives Basher some of his special biscuits and his teddy bear, Mr Kill to keep him company then goes back inside the house. Coming upstairs, Henry finds Peter in his way. Peter asked what Henry is up to but he pushes him aside and goes inside to his room after saying Peter gets weirder every day. Peter says that he will find out and goes to his own room to sleep as the raining continues.
On the window sill, Fluffy changes nightime to morning with the TV remote. Henry then dashes outside to his fort where Peter surprises him and asked if he’s in a hurry. Then Henry asked him if he has stamps to collect or something but Peter knows he is hiding something and opens his fort to reveal that it was only Mr Kill inside. Henry sees that Basher is gone and Peter asked who is that but Henry goes inside the house to search for him. Just then, Peter shows Henry a wanted poster of a lost dog with a big reward in it. Henry says that Basher is his friend but Peter urges him to do the right thing and take dog back to its real owner or he will tell Mum instead.
So not wanting Mum to know, Henry gets Peter to help him find Basher by sharing the reward with him but he wanted half for the 1913 seahorse five shillings stamp and they make it a deal. The boys heard Mum screaming about her bacon gone thinking Basher took it. As Mum was looking at her frying pan, Henry and Peter follow the footprints back to the his fort in the garden where he finds Basher eating the bacon. Henry tells him that he has to go home now but then he hears Ralph's voice and tells Peter to get rid of him. So Peter tells Ralph that Henry is not out here, it was a dog barking somewhere and he goes home. Peter joins Henry as they try to get Basher out of the here before Mum sees him. The trio spot Mum in the kitchen and spots the laundry on the line giving Henry an idea.
The boys disguised Basher using the clothes and try to get out through the way when Mum sees them but luckily Basher fooled her thinking he is Ralph allowing them to go down the street to find him real owner as the screen shows the same reward poster on the trees. After doing the right thing, Henry got the reward money from Basher's real owner and was in his room feeling depressed of his good friend gone. Just then, Henry hears Margaret screaming out the window after finding something disgusting in her slippers and shouts 'OH! I AM GONNA GET YOU, HENRY!'. Knowing that Basher did this, Henry started cackling on his bed at his prank on Margaret ending the episode.
==Characters==
*Horrid Henry
*Perfect Peter
*Moody Margaret
*Sour Susan
*Mum
*Rude Ralph
*Basher (only appearance)
*Fluffy (cameo)
*Mr Kill
== Trivia ==
*When Margaret screams, 'Where's my picnic?', Susan puts her fingers over her ears.
*It's unknown how Mum could possibly have mistaken Basher for Ralph as even if she wasn't looking at his face, she should be able to tell by his size.
== Errors ==
*When Margaret screams, 'Where's my picnic?', she looks smaller than usual.
* When Henry is running to the Purple Hand Gang Fort at night, the fort is blue instead of purple.
* Judging by the white on the cupcake, it is a wrapper, and Basher ate it. In real life, if dogs eat wrappers, it will get in the way of digesting food, so it is unknown why Basher did not get sick whatsoever.
