Shriek Loves Dog

**Shriek Loves Dog** is an episode from the first season of *CatDog*. In this episode, Dog and Shriek fall in love, but Cat does not approve.

## Synopsis

CatDog are once again being chased by the Greasers, this time to the point where the house has an anti-Greaser metallic door for safety purposes. Winslow then brings up how Shriek lets Dog get off easy, hinting that she may have romantic feelings for him; Cat, however, shrugs it off, bringing up the fact that Dog is not a cat as evidence for this. Winslow insists that the two are in love and goes back to relaxing in his swimming hole.

The next morning, CatDog are at the park playing ball when Shriek comes by. Cat reacts appropriately and tries to run away, but Dog gives her flowers and a box of chocolates, much to the poodle’s delight. Cat, now seeing the truth, decides to take action and sabotage their romance! However, since he is just one cat against two canines, he decides to call the other Greasers for help, swallowing his courage and dignity.

First, Eddie disguises himself as a shark to scare the two lovebirds, but then gets caught by Mervis and Dunglap and is kicked off the beach. Next, Cliff tries to put bees in the flower bouquet that Dog gave Shriek, but they soon sting him with no mercy. With all hope seemingly lost, Lube suggests the idea of the two moving on through good terms, but is then shrugged off by the rest of the group. Then Eddie suggests a wedding; then the group could squish the two lovebirds with a giant piece of chocolate cheesecake! Everyone agrees, and the wedding is soon set up.

At the wedding, Dog is a little uncomfortable about getting married, but Cat reassures him everything will be "fine." As he and Shriek head to the stand, Mr. Sunshine asks the two is they will take each other as spouses, unaware of the giant chocolate cheesecake above their heads. Just as the group is about to release the rope, Dog and Shriek reject the proposal, much to everyone’s sudden shock; they then agree to just stick to being friends and move on by their own good terms. The episode ends with Cat and the other Greasers being crushed by the giant chocolate cheesecake.

## Trivia

### General

* This is the first episode to be written by Noel MacNeal.
* The title refers to the sitcom that’s a spin off of *Happy Days*, *Joanie Loves Chachi*.
* This episode shows a more stern side to Mervis and Dunglap, catching Eddie in his attempt to spoil the romance between Dog and Shriek. More importantly, however, is the fact that they caught a false shark alarm with Eddie’s fake shark fin; in real life, if one were to use a fake shark fin to scare others off the beach, they would face a minimum of a two-month ban from the specific beach.

### Errors

* Cat doesn't seem to mind the water in this episode despite having aquaphobia, which means he is afraid of water.
