## Plot

### Opening Countertop

Bob and Larry once again greet the kids on a countertop, while Larry mentions to Bob that he wants to know that he dressed up as Larry-Boy in "Dave and the Giant Pickle", before Bob tells Larry that being a superhero could be a hard work and tells him that "plain-old Larry" is important. Larry agrees, before Bob tells the kids that they got a letter from Myra Eggleston of Youngstown, Pennsylvania. After Larry says hi to Myra, Bob says that Myra is having a hard time persevering with her friends at school. She says that she can't do really neat things like helping others by building houses and practicing a few place kicks. So Myra wants to know about facing hardship, to which Larry says that he can't do better himself. Larry says to Bob that it's a good question, but Bob tells him that is a problem. Larry says back to Bob about Myra's problem, before Bob yells at him that it is not important about Myra's question. This makes an argument between Bob and Larry about Myra's problem. After a few seconds, Larry says that Bob is right, to which Myra is having a problem. Bob says that he and Larry don't have any stories about hardship, before Larry quips that he's got a better story that will solve Myra's solution. Larry says the story is entitled "Snoopy's Reunion".

### Snoopy's Reunion

The story begins on a litter of puppies is born to a dog named Missy at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm: Spike, Andy, Olaf, Marbles, Belle, Molly, Rover, and of course, Snoopy. Though they spend their days happily eating food and playing music, they all sadly await the day they will be separated as they are bought by various new owners. Meanwhile, while Bob and Larry are playing checkers, Charlie Brown comes home after another depressing baseball game and expresses his desire for a pet to his sister Sally.

Snoopy is the first dog to go, to a girl named Lila with whom he very quickly bonds. Gradually, the rest of the siblings are bought by other customers, with Olaf the last to go. Goliath and Missy assume that the puppies have all gone on to better lives. Bob and Larry come out of the house and started planting a garden. After owning Snoopy for a few months, Lila's landlord implements a "no dogs" policy, forcing her to take Snoopy back to the farm. Goliath assures a heartbroken Snoopy they will find him a new owner quickly as Snoopy is left to live in the now-empty shed.

At Charlie Brown's house, Bob and Larry are preparing breakfast for Charlie Brown and Sally. Junior Asparagus comes home after a trip with his parents to Israel. Bob asks Junior how's the trip, to which Junior says it's amazing. Junior asks Bob what he has been fighting Goliath with a slingshot, before Bob tells Junior that he needs to be careful slinging the slingshot. After a while, Mr. Nezzer and Mr. Lunt came back home after working so hard at the chocolate factory. And after that, The Grapes of Wrath (Tom, Rosie, Ma and Pa Grape) enter the house after traveling along with Jimmy and Jerry Gourd in their lifetime. Larry asks Pa Grape what he has been doing with Tom, before Pa Grape tells Larry that he has done lots of fun by going to the beach, amusement parks, and even lots of exciting places where he has been.

Charlie Brown finds an ad in the paper placed by the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, and goes with Linus. While Linus inspects some documents left in the open, Charlie Brown speaks with the farmer, who sees in Charlie Brown someone who would take good care of Snoopy and agrees to give him away for a more affordable price. They head to the shed, where Charlie Brown and Snoopy meet for the first time: Linus informs Charlie Brown of Snoopy's name, which Charlie Brown decides to keep. On the way back home, Linus relays to Charlie Brown he learned Snoopy had a previous owner. Charlie Brown assures Snoopy he does not mind. He quickly learns Snoopy is a rather unusual dog, from sleeping on top of his doghouse to choosing to sit in a recliner when instructed to sit.

Five years later, Bob, Larry and Charlie Brown noticed Snoopy has grown homesick, and offers to hold a reunion of all his siblings at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm to cheer him up. The now grown-up siblings all eagerly agree to attend, and travel out to the farm together. When they arrive, though, they discover that the entire area has been redeveloped, and what was once a farm in a rural neighborhood is now the site of a five-story parking garage in a bustling city. Though Bob, Larry, Charlie Brown and Sally express sadness for the situation, the siblings are satisfied that they are together once again and choose to go on with the reunion, playing their instruments together as they did when they were puppies. Bob then reminds Larry that even when we feel uncomfortable about facing hardship to Snoopy and his siblings, God wills there to help perseverance, and not giving up.

Upon returning to Charlie Brown's house, he asks the siblings how they plan on getting home. They all make their way to Snoopy's doghouse, and Charlie Brown and Linus watch with bewilderment as he adopts the World War I Flying Ace persona and flies them all home. When Charlie Brown wonders aloud how Snoopy was able to do so, Linus simply replies: "Well, he's your dog, Charlie Brown", ending the story.

### Closing Countertop

Back on the countertop, Bob says that was a really exciting story, before telling Larry that he has done a great job making up a story, before Larry thanks Bob for the compliment. Larry says that he needs to bring Charlie Brown and Sally over on the countertop and discuss about what their day has been, before he calls out to Charlie Brown and Sally to come over. Charlie Brown and Sally enter the countertop and greet Bob and Larry, before Bob tells the duo that it's time to talk about what they've learned today, before the song starts. Charlie Brown quips to Bob that his feelings about his song, before the song continues. After the song, Bob says that in their story, no one thought Snoopy can do anything important, because he is just a beagle. Even his siblings couldn't do better himself by playing instruments all alone. Bob says that Snoopy loved Lila, but Lila's parents say that "no dogs" are allowed at the landlord, and Snoopy knew that even though he is heartbroken, God could help him do lots of things. Larry says that Lila should've told her parents that the dogs are still allowed in the building so that Snoopy and Lila can have fun for the rest of their lives. Charlie Brown says to Larry that it's not important about Snoopy and Lila, to which Sally agrees. Bob then says to Larry that Snoopy can be a great owner with his siblings. Larry agrees, to which Bob says that Snoopy is a good beagle. Larry tells Charlie Brown and Sally that if God can help Snoopy do lots of things by facing hardship even though he isn't good enough, then he should don't need to act more crazy yelling at the veggies who are mean. But Charlie Brown told Larry that he is a good cucumber and do lots of fun stuff, before Sally tells him that she can't do it herself. Bob then says to Larry that he is special just the way he is, to which Larry thanks to Bob for the compliment. Bob, Larry, Charlie Brown and Sally walk over to Qwerty to see what the verse Qwerty has. Qwerty pulls up the verse, which is "**And we know that God causes all things to work together for good, to those who loved God. Romans 8:28**". Larry says that he always wanted to be the farmer, before Bob says that the verse doesn't mean that we can't just do whatever we want to do, it means that anything that God wants us to do, we can do. Charlie Brown says that Goliath wanted the puppies to stay in the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, but that meant that someone had to bring a dog over. Even though that Snoopy was just a beagle, he knew that if God wanted him to be the owner of Charlie Brown and Sally, he can do it. Sally then says that the story showed just how much Snoopy trusted God, and that's why he became such a great beagle for staying home with his siblings. Larry agrees, to which he says that anything God wants him to do, he can do, and that's what makes him feel pretty special. Bob then says to Myra and he hope that makes her feel pretty special as well. Larry asks the trio that he has one more question, to which he says he means that I want to pretend that he's Larry-Boy in "Dave and the Giant Pickle", before Bob tells Larry that "as long as you feel okay about "plain-old Larry", because "plain-old Larry is very specials, you can pretend to be whatever you want!", to which Larry agrees. Bob and Larry then sign off after that, before Charlie Brown tells Bob and Larry that he and Sally are gonna hang out in the countertop for a while. Bob and Larry agree, and they exit. Charlie Brown whistles Snoopy and his siblings, and they join the group. Charlie Brown tells Snoopy to play an instrument with his siblings, and Snoopy and his siblings played the instruments together as the credits roll, ending the episode.
