The Case of the Puppies

**The Case of the Puppies** is the forty-third episode of Season 1 of Fishtronaut and the forty-third episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode begins with Marina talking to her friend Julia that the pebble family is complete; one pebble has an image of Zeek in which Marina tells Zeek that most families don't have monkeys for a pet and the same thing also happens to Fishtronaut since most families don't have squids for a pet. Marina then says that the pebble family would have to stay without a pet. Julia then puts the pebble father and the pebble mother in her dollhouse. All of a sudden, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio and Julia. Julia then joins in with the trio dancing to the rhythm as Marina tells the viewers to dance to the rhythm of the P.O.P. to open it.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a dollhouse and a pet carrier

Receiving the clues, Marina explains what the pet carrier clue must do with the dollhouse clue. Zeek then explains that some animal in trouble could be in danger and may be caged by someone, but Marina tells Zeek that the gang should find out which animal is taken and how they can be saved. Julia then explains to Marina when she watched TV that she saw some animals that are trapped and sold for illegal pet trade, including the most popular ones: the parrots. The gang decides to go to the parrots' caves. While at the area with the parrot caves, Julia thought all the parrots were captured, but Marina tells her that the parrots may have been looking for food. All of a sudden, a parrot appears in one of the nests. Fishtronaut asks him to know where the other parrots are hiding at. The parrot then asks him that the other parrots are hiding in other caves. Some other parrots say that they are hiding from strange animals near their homes and their hiding spots are revealed by a mysterious animal. Marina explains what animals the parrots are talking about. One of the parrots say that they saw a furry creature with a tail, a pointy ear, a long nose, sharp teeth and made a howling noise. All of a sudden, a loud howl is heard far from the parrot caves.

As the parrots go back in their caves, Marina thought that there were wolves in the park. Julia is curious to know if there are any dangerous wolves in the park, but Marina says that wolves are not common in the park. Julia is curious to know if someone brought wolves to the park and Zeek thought how would they bring wolves to the park with one of the cages linked to the pet carrier clue. Fishtronaut understands that the cage means that some animals were brought into the park and are not stolen, and the animals may be wolves, linked to the pet carrier clue. The gang decides to find the mysterious howling animals while Fishtronaut decides to use his invention the SniffSniff to choose the right animal to find. One of the parrots then asks Fishtronaut to use it to find food for them, but Fishtronaut tells the parrot that this invention is used only for the scent of animals. While on an investigation to find the mysterious howling animals, but the SniffSniff eventually breaks down and the gang didn't find any animal that howled like a wolf.

Zeek thought the wolves left the park, but Marina says that the park is very huge and Zeek made plan to help during the investigation: howl like a wolf. Marina tells the viewers to howl very loud like a wolf so the responsive howl can happen again. The gang howled very loud and they heard the loud howl again too. Fishtronaut then found out that the SniffSniff can only detect the scent of wild animals and Marina found out that someone brought their dogs in the park in their cages and Julia found out that there are homeless dogs in the park. The gang decides to howl loud and follow the path where the howl is coming from. While howling to find the path where the howl is coming from, the howl disturbed a giraffe, two lions, two elephants, and a capybara family. Zeek then howls one more time for the howl to occur again. The gang found out that there are two homeless puppies hiding near a bush. The puppies say that the two of them are homeless and they both need a home. Fishtronaut then tells the puppies to know how they ended up in the park. The puppies say that they were adopted and their owner was upset at them for causing too much trouble in the owner's house (such as ripping the owner's newspaper), causing the owner to be upset at the puppies and thus abandoning them in the park. The gang then decides to bring the puppies to the Beanstalk Care Center.

Dr. Green then feeds the puppies some dog food and Julia explains to know why dogs can't live by themselves in the forest. Dr. Green explains to her that even though dogs are related to wolves and foxes, these types of dogs are domesticated and thousands of years ago, dogs depended on humans for food, shelter, and loving care. Julia then decides to adopt the puppies and before Julia can adopt the puppies, Dr. Green tells her to think how much the puppies will depend on her. Julia then makes a promise to take care of the puppies. However, Dr. Green tells her to know if her parents would allow pets, so she decides to call her parents. Leaving the Beanstalk Care Center, Marina then bids a farewell to Julia as she enjoyed the best vacation at Smiling Trees Park. Before Julia can leave, another P.O.P. arrives towards the gang.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** a toy ring tied on a rope

Receiving the reward, Zeek then plays with the puppies and he starts to have fun with them.
