Welcome to Pawston

***Welcome to Pawston*** is the first part of episode 1 of Go, Dog. Go! (TV Series).

## Synopsis

Tag and her new friend, Scooch, make their way across town to attend a party in a tree.

## Plot

Before the theme song, in the dog town of Pawston, young Tag Barker awakens her family at the start of a brand new day, eager to get them up and moving.

Heading out in anticipation of the big event at the town's Party Tree that night, Tag is surprised to spot an unfamiliar dog while traveling through town. The newcomer introduces himself as Scooch Pooch, who recently moved to Pawston with his mom. Eager to show her new acquaintance around town, Tag takes him in tow on her scooter to show him around town while trying to reach the Party Tree.

Unfortunately for the impatient Tag, every other dog in town is also on their way to the party, from hat-loving Lady Lydia to the Barkapellas singing group. Despite the efforts of the more mild-mannered Scooch and others to advise her to wait, Tag rapidly switches from one mode of travel to another in hopes of getting to the party faster. After going through scooter, boat, and blimp in rapid succession, Tag finally sees the error of her ways when she and Scooch end up atop a mountain peak far from the tree. However, Tag is able to turn her engineering skills to their advantage, converting Lady Lydia's latest hat into a device to enable all three of them to arrive at the tree and join their friends and family for the party.

## Trivia

### General

* Scooch mentions the names of the chickens in his farm again in *Clucky Day* and *Bonestand and Deliver*.
* The events of this episode would later be mentioned again in *Sing for the Fences* and *Cattitude Adjustment*. In addition, this episode could possibly be a parallel to the Season 3 finale, *The Pawston Chewbilee*/*Don't Go, Cat. Go!*, as they both revolve around the Party in a Tree.
* The truck that appears a couple of times throughout the episode would later reappear in *Toy Driver* as a truck that carries all of the Barker family's old toys, along with Scooch's old toys and the other old toys Tag and Scooch have gathered, to the new puppy daycare center, and *Don't Go, Cat. Go!* as a moving truck that is set to move all of the Whiskertons' things back to Meowbuquerque.
* This episode would later be adapted in the book of the same name.
