Arthur's new puppy. By Mark Brown, narrated by me. Arthur loved his new puppy, and pal loved Arthur. He's a very active puppy. Said Arthur. He's a very naughty puppy. Said DW. Don't worry. Said Arthur. I'll have him trained in no time. Here's your new home. Said Arthur. You'll have the whole garage to yourself. But pal did not like the garage. As soon as Arthur put him down, pal ran and hid. He feels loansome. Said Arthur. Can he stand the house? Please, please, please. Oh, all right. Said mother. But only for a day or two. Arthur made a cozy spot for pal in the kitchen. I thought you might need a few newspapers. Said DW. Arthur held pal carefully. The way his puppy book showed. Look, he's so excited. Said Arthur. Look at your pants. Said DW. You have excitement all over them. It's okay. Said Arthur. He's just a baby. Well, I think baby dogs should wear diapers. Said DW. Later, pal ate his dinner in a flash. Uh-oh. Said DW. He has that look in his eyes again. Quick. Said Arthur. His leash. But when pal saw his leash, he ran and hid. I don't think he likes his leash. Said DW. Help me find him. Said Arthur. I guess he didn't have to go after all. Said DW. I was wrong. No, you were right. Said Arthur. He just went. Later that night when everyone was asleep, pal, yelp, and howled until he woke up the entire family. Go to sleep. Said Arthur. Pal wanted to play. Don't forget to close his gate. Called mother. Good night. Said father. Good luck. Said DW. The next morning, Arthur was still in the kitchen. Wake up, sleepy head. Said DW. And be careful where you step. Oh, no. Said Arthur. I forgot to close pal's gate. Here's your scooper. Said mother. You think this is bad? Said father. Wait till you see the living room. Pal looked very proud of himself. My new drapes. Cryed mother. My doll. Scream DW. Bad dog. Said Arthur. Pal is moving to the garage. Ordered mother. Here's the key to the garage. Said father. I'll help you move his things after dinner. Father put the key on the hall table. Arthur packed up pal's things and went to get the garage key, but it was gone. The whole family searched for the key. Pal watched. It has to be here somewhere. Said mother. But the key was nowhere to be found. It looks like you can stay in the house one more night. Arthur said. I heard mom and dad whispering. Said DW. And pal's in big trouble. They said he'd better be trained soon or else. Shush. Said Arthur. You'll hurt his feelings. That night Arthur remembered to close pal's gate. At school Arthur told Francine and Buster about training pal. I'm going to teach him to do all kinds of things. Said Arthur. I used to have a puppy too. Said Buster. But he was too much trouble. My parents sent him to a farm. My cousin had a problem puppy. Said Francine. No one could train him. One day he just disappeared while she was at school. After school Arthur hurried home. Oh no. Said Arthur. What happened? I thought I'd take him for a walk. Said DW. But when he saw the leash he went wild. You better get this cleaned up before mom sees it. Where is mom? Asked Arthur. In the backyard. Said DW. Looking for the garage key. Have you seen my dog training book? Asked Arthur. What's left of it is over there. Said DW. That night Arthur gave pal an extra training lesson. I'll help you train this beast. Said DW. Let me get my whip. No. Said Arthur. Dogs respond better to love. Watch. Said Arthur. He's getting better. Sit. Said Arthur. Lie down. Said Arthur. Stay. Ordered Arthur. I know something he'll understand. Said DW. Time for your walk pal. He just needs a little more work. That's all. Said Arthur. But pal needed a lot more work. Arthur set up a training school in the backyard. On Monday they worked on sit. On Tuesday they worked on down. Wednesday was stay day. By Thursday pal was doing tricks. Good dog pal. Said Arthur. Arthur decided to put on a puppy chauffeur's family. When they see how well you're trained they'll never send you away. Said Arthur. Arthur got up early Saturday morning to give pal a bath. After breakfast Arthur's family took their seats. Welcome to Arthur's puppy show. Said Arthur. He held his breath. What you're about to see will amaze and astound you. If pal amazes us anymore our whole house will be destroyed. Said DW. Arthur clapped his hands. Come. He said and pal came. Said. Said Arthur and pal sat. Down. Said Arthur. Down went pal. Pal even did a trick. Good dog. Said Arthur. He is a good dog. Said mother. You mean he won't have to live on a farm? Asked Arthur. Of course not. Said father. Not even in the garage. No one noticed pal run behind the rose bushes. When pal returned he sat up and wagged his tail. Look he has something in his mouth. Said DW. It's the key to the garage. Said Arthur. Good boy pal. Said father. Amazing. Said mother. That night Arthur gave pal a special dinner. Time for your walk pal. Said Arthur. I'll get your leash. But Arthur couldn't find it anywhere. It was on the hook a minute ago. Said Arthur. I know I left it there. I'll help you look. Said DW. Mother and dad help too. It has to be here somewhere. Said Arthur. No one noticed pal run behind the rose bushes. The end.
