Arthur, you have nothing

a detective does
is look for clues.

What's that?
Fingerprint powder--
part of every serious
investigation.
Oh.
Wow. This is

No, he's not.
He was right...
Right where, D.W.?
Uh, well,
right in the kitchen
when he messed up
my puzzle.
Remember?
Hmm.
No.
A-ha!
Yes, that's definitely
Pal's paw print.
So?
So with a cast
of Pal's paw print,
if we find
other tracks,
we'll know if
they're his or not.
Cool.
Attention, everybody!
Pal is missing!
Pal is missing!
If anyone sees
a slobbering
little dirt-colored dog,
please send him back

Thank you.
Gee, that's nice

D.W.?
D.W.?
Hmm.
Something fishy
is going on here.
And it looks like it's time
to fry some fish.
Okay, D.W.,
you had better
start talking fast.
I told you,
I don't know anything.
Now let me go.
Quiet!
Ow!
We'll let you go
when we're ready
to let you go.
And we're not ready.
Ow!
Actually, you've been
pretty helpful, D.W.,
for someone who hates Pal
and wishes he'd run away.
I don't hate Pal.
I don't.
I like that
stinking mutt.
Yeah, yeah,
you're really
broken up about it.
Come on, D.W.
If that's your real name.
Just tell us this.
When was
the last time
you saw Pal today?
Okay...this morning.
I was on hold
waiting to win
my Mary Moo-Cow
"Ice is Nice" 'stravaganza
tickets when...
[barking,
splashing]
So I went to see
what it was.
[whimpering]
Eew!
He was taking a bath.
That dog is not only dumb,
he's gross.
You don't think--
an entire dog couldn't
fit down the--
right?
Okay, D.W., spill it.
You're not telling us
the whole story.
Yeah, looks like
we're going to
have to get tough.
Dad, Arthur's broiling me!
You mean "grilling,"
D.W.
No grilling
your sister, Arthur.
But, Dad, Pal might
really be lost.
We have to go
find him.
I know, but let's just
give him a little more time,
a couple more hours.
A couple more hours?
Okay, Francine
checked the pound,
we searched all around
the downtown area,
and I examined the route
from school to the park.
No sign of him anywhere.
No sign.
Don't worry, Arthur.
He'll find his way back.
Dogs are very loyal.
Are you kidding?
My cousin's dog ran away
and then stayed
with the first family
that fed him.
[gasps]
Oh, but not Pal, Arthur.
He'd never forget you.
That's right.
Pal wouldn't do that.
Don't worry, Arthur.
He'll be back.

Hi, guys.
[lawnmower approaching]
[yelps]
Hmm.
The last time
I saw Pal...
at your window
this morning!
[Girls laughing]
Besides then.
Wait!
I remember something
from yesterday.
Come on, Arthur,
give up.
You lost.
What's the matter?
Tired already?
[panting]
Arthur, you shouldn't
leave your dog
in the hot sun.
I'll move him
as soon as I win.
That might
take awhile.
I'll move him.
So I took him
to the back
where it was shadier.
He perked up right away.
I think he liked
the garbage, too.
I wondered how
he got there.
Hmm. Sometimes dogs will
go back to familiar places.
Show us where you took him.
I tied him right here.
Well, I don't see anything.
Hey, look!
It matches,
and this ice cream
is still wet.
Pal must have just
come by here.
How did we miss him?
They lead that way!
Come on!
Well, you're welcome.
Pal!
Pal!
I didn't see a tan dog,
just a brown one.
No, Pal is tan.
Nope. Never saw him.
Never saw him.
Are you lying?
No.
Not lying.
Hey, how do I know
you're not dognappers
pretending to be
detectives?
Buster! Buster!
Come here!
Look, it's Pal's
collar.
Now this is what
I call a clue.
Wow, that must be
what I hit with the mower.
You what?
I mean, what happened was
I was driving along,
when all of the sudden...
Whoa!
Guess he pulled himself
from his collar
just in the nick of time.
It was Pal.
He just looked brown
because he was
covered in mud.
Which way did he go?
That way.
Let's go!
Never seen a dog
run that fast.
Pal!
Pal!
Where are you?
Pal!

[D.W.]
Hello?
What?
Woo-hoo!

just called.

Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Pal is missing?
But how?
Mom! Dad!
Did you hear
what I said?
I won!
Doesn't anybody care?
Yes, D.W., of course we do,
but Pal is missing.
Arthur must be so upset.
Well, his Mary Moo-Cow
ticket will cheer him up.
[Buster]
We searched every inch
of the park, Arthur.
I don't get it.
We had such a good clue.
[Arthur]
Yeah, I thought so, too.
Okay, what do we know
so far?
Well, we have no idea
where Pal went,
he has no collar,
so nobody can identify him.
And the longer
he's gone,
the more he's going
to forget me.
I'm sorry, Arthur.
It's my fault
we can't find Pal.
I'm a bad detective.
You're not a bad detective.
Why are you a bad detective?
Because I'm always wrong--
always, even when I watch TV.
It was the butler!
[Man on TV]
The only person
it couldn't possibly be...
is the butler.
Ahh!
The horse
stole himself!
Time ran backward!
Aliens!
Watson, there's only
one answer.
The m*rder*r was...
Mrs. Bailey!
...Mrs. Bailey.
Wow, I got it.
[Watson]
Mrs. Bailey?
Surely you're joking,
Holmes.
Ha ha ha!
[Holmes] Of course,
I'm joking, Watson.
Mrs. Bailey, a k*ller?
Do you think
I'm some sort of
a hopeless ninny?
[Holmes and Watson laugh]
Face it.
If you always guess
the wrong person,
you're not a good detective.
Buster, I need your help.
We'll find Pal,
we have to,
but I can't
do it alone.
Thanks, Arthur.
I'd like to,
I really would, but--
hey, what's that?
Don't even think
about eating that.
No, look!
It's Pal's paw print.
Another clue.
Wow.
[door slams]
That's a Mr. Kone truck.
Pal loves ice cream.
You don't think...
Arthur, from the position
of these paw prints
and the tire tracks,
there's only one
possible answer.
Right!
Pal learned to drive!
What?
Pal can't drive,
Buster.
Okay, okay,
maybe you're right,
but if Pal likes
ice cream
as much as you say...
Yeah?
Well, it's a crazy idea,
but what if Pal
tried to sneak into
this ice cream truck?
Pal!
Whoa!
Run!
Run!
There!
Pal!

Please leave a message
after the beep.

they park their trucks.

Here, Arthur.
This will make you
feel better.

Heh heh heh heh!
I don't want
your dumb cow, D.W.,

Is that all we can
talk about around here?
I'm sure he's okay,
Arthur.
I mean, I'd love
to be locked
in an ice cream truck
all night, especially...
What?
Well, I didn't want
to say it,
but I found
another clue.
Pal's food!
You must have
left it there
when we ran out to the
water balloon fight.
And I forgot to feed him.
Great.

And it's pointed
toward that window.
Pal must have gone in there!
And look at this.
Tan hairs!
Did you boys
find something?
We sure did!
Dad, Pal had to have
gone in there!
And look!
[Arthur]
A security camera!
Come on, let's have another
word with Mr. Kone.
Footprints?
No, no, no.
I already told you:
your dog's not,
and never was, here!
Please, they just
want to come in for a minute,
just to be sure.
He was hungry.
I forgot to feed him.
Please, he might have
gone inside to get
something to eat.
But even if
he's not in there,
maybe one of your cameras
saw something that could
help us find him.
Well, at least
we tried.
[gasps]
Come on in.
[all
Wow!
[Man]
Phew!
Came into quite a surprise
this morning.
You should have seen the mess.
Every ingredient you need
to make ice cream.
Milk, cream, sugar, tuna fish.
It was all over the place.
Crazy doings in here
last night, crazy.
I'm Kone, Mr. Kone.
Nice to meet you.
Normally I don't
let anybody in,
but I'm a dog lover
myself.
Those are my little babies,
Sugar and Spice, over there.
Got themselves into
a little trouble
last night, didn't they?
What happened?
Seems they ate something
that didn't agree with them.
[belches]
Ate something?
Heh, looks like
they probably just
ate too much of your
ice cream, right?
Sure, sure... unless
they ate your dog.
[laughs]
Well, let's look
at the tapes, shall we?
This is where all
the magic happens.
The whole factory,
completely automated,
start to finish.
I can see the whole place
from right here.
If your dog was anywhere
in this factory last night,
we'll know about it.
Okay, let's
take a look.
[Kone]
See? No dogs.
Hold on, what's that?
[Arthur]
It's Pal!
Really?
You were right!
So he's the one who caused
all the trouble.

Hurry!
[Buster]
Woo-hoo!
[Arthur]
Way to go, Pal.
[Arthur]
He's going to make it!
[Arthur]
Yes!
All right!
He's going to be
all right.
Looks like he went
toward the highway.
Come on!
Thank you, Mr. Kone.
Yes, thank you
so much.
Don't mention it.
Hope you find your dog,
young man.
Shame!
[belches]
Well, before you count
to two, Spot,
you have to learn
to count to one.
And you know what?
I have a song that
I think will help you.
♪Let's all count to one
let's all count to one ♪
♪Ready, set, one!
We're done counting to one ♪
Her lips aren't even moving!
This is nothing
like the TV show.
What a rip-off.
Eww!
This ice-cream
tastes like dog.
Poor Pal.
Could he really be trying
to walk all the way home?
That's one long walk.
Wait, Dad!
Stop here!
Maybe someone in there
saw him.
Yep, I certainly did
see a dog this morning.
You did?
Was this the dog you saw?
Hmm...
Yeah, that's him.
Yes!
Well, he was in
pretty bad shape, though.
Rosie, she drives a big rig,
she brought him in.
Morning, Remy.
Trouble you for some water?
Looks like you picked up
a little something
along your route,
eh, Rosie?
[whimpers]
Yeah, found him
by the side of the road.
Someone must have left
the poor little fella.
How do you like that?
Well, it looks to me like
you got yourself a pet.
Hmm, think so?
Hey, you wanna
come with me, little guy?
We'll see the whole country:
Elwood City, Huntington,
Tangleberry,
even Washington, D.C.
[barks]
Maybe I'll name him "Lucky."
You like that name?
Lucky?
[barks]
You should've seen him.
Covered in nuts and chocolate,
all kinds of garbage.
Hard to believe someone would
treat a nice dog that way.
She took off
right after that.
Had to get her load to town
first thing in the morning.
Hmm.
Where in Elwood City
was she going?
Rosie makes all kinds
of deliveries.
I've got no idea
what this one was for.
No idea in the world.

Spot, you did it.
You counted to two!
Very good.
Better hurry now,
or you'll be late for dinner.
Bye, Spot.
[Kids in the audience]
Bye, Spot.
[dog barking]
What? Huh?
Mom, did you hear that?
It was Pal.
I heard him bark!
I don't think so, honey.
I think it was that
big dog, Spot, see?
Mom!
That's just a man
in a dog suit.
I heard Pal,
and I'm going to find him.
D.W.!
It certainly has been
a day full of surprises,
hasn't it?
Shh, quiet Lucky, or we'll
have to go wait in the truck.
[sighs]
Arthur, what are you doing?
Getting rid of Pal's things.
You're just giving up?
You're not even going
to try to get him back?
Come here, I want
to show you something.
This is the video
Muffy gave me of
the water balloon fight.
Yeah, so?
Watch.
Got her.
[barking]
Pal, shh!
Pal!
[gasps]
[shouts]
Oh, yeah, bull's-eye!
Woo-hoo!
Pal, what's the matter
with you?
You wrecked everything.
You always
wreck everything.
Thanks, Pal.
Sometimes I'd rather have
any other dog in the world.
So give me one good reason
why Pal would ever want
to come back to me.
I left him out
in the hot sun...
I forgot to feed him...
And I yelled at him
when he needed to go outside.
I solved the mystery
of why Pal disappeared,
and it's not
a mystery at all.
I'm a bad owner.
Pal is lucky.
Oh, no!
[Buster]
What's that?
Pal's heartworm medicine!
If he doesn't get it,
he could get really sick!
We checked everyplace:
backstage,
the concession area.
I think maybe
a certain little girl
saw the big doggy
on the ice
and she just imagined
she heard a "woof, woof."
What do you think?
I think a certain man
needs to stop talking
to a certain little girl
like she's two!
D.W.!
Hmph!
Well.
Thank you for
helping us out, sir.
We appreciate it.
Please call
if you find anything.
No, we can't give up.
We have to get home, D.W.
But he's here,
I know it.
He has to be!
Woo-hoo!
This is fun, right, Lucky?
What do you think?
[barks]
Yeah, I know.
[Arthur]
We've got
to find him, Buster.
Pal needs his medicine.
Okay, I think
I have something.
The truck driver told Pal
she'd be going to Elwood City,
Huntington, Tangleberry
and Washington D.C.
Ugh, that Moo-Cow's
everywhere!
[phone ringing]
Okay, I'll be right over
to pick you up.
[Jane]
Thanks, it's been
a long day.
Mom, tell Dad I have
to talk to Arthur.
Elwood City, Huntington,
Tangleberry, Washington, D.C.
What do all those places
have in common?
Yellow makes me giggle!
Buster!
Arthur?
Sorry.
Your sister wants
to speak to you.
Dad, not now!
Tell her I'm busy.
We're trying to find Pal!
No, tell him
I have to talk to him.
I know where Pal is!
[Pal whimpering]
Thanks for letting us take
a spin in your Zamboni.
Always wanted to drive
one of those things.
No problem.
Well, we got everything
loaded into your truck.
You're set to go.
Great.
Well, this is it, Lucky.
You ready to see the world?
C'mon, boy, let's get
this show on the road.
[whimpering]
You've got to listen
to me, Arthur!
Pal is here at the show,
I know it!
Enough, D.W.,
I can't believe
you're still trying
to get me to your dumb show!
Well, Pal's not there,
he's in a truck somewhere,
and you don't care about
anyone but yourself!
Good-bye!
A truck?
In you go, boy.
Come on.
Elwood City.
Huntington.
Tangleberry.
Washington, D.C.
I'll see you boys later.
I'm going to get
your mom and D.W.
Bye, Dad.
Now, what would go
to all those cities?
[Announcer]
It's udder-ly fantastic!
The Mary Moo-Cow
"Ice is Nice" extravaganza!
Turn it off!
With limited engagements
in Elwood City, Hunt...
Now, what goes to Elwood City,
Huntington, Tangleberry
and Washington, D.C.?
Mary Moo-Cow!
What?
Oh, I just meant too bad
we missed that show.
It could have been cool?
Ugh, are you kidding?
Well, you can go tomorrow
if you like her so much.
First we find Pal.
Naw, it was only here
for a day.
Tomorrow it's in
another city.
What?
Buster, what did you say?
Elwood City!
Then it stops in...
Huntington, Tangleberry.
[Buster, Arthur]
And Washington, D.C.!
D.W. was right,
he's at the arena!
Dad!
Maybe we can
still catch him.
He's gone.
Bye, Mary Moo-Cow
'stravaganza.
Maybe your lips will move
at the next show.
[phone ringing]
Must be Dad.
Hope he's not
stuck in traffic.
Hello?
Oh, Arthur.
Hold on.
He wants to speak to you.
Well, maybe I don't...
What?
A Mary Moo-Cow truck?
It just left!
The truck just left!
Ahh! I told you
so, Arthur Read!
Why don't you
listen to me?
Oh, Pal!
Poor, poor Pal!
[crying]
The truck's already
on the road.
What are we going to do?
Have no fear, Detective
Buster Baxter is here.
Whoa!
All systems functional.
Francine's got the park,
Prunella downtown,
and Binky, the Sugar Bowl.
And Muffy?
Um...
[musical tone]
Hello?
What is it?
Muffy, where have you been?
Buster, I see it.
It's near the library.
We have to stop it
before it gets
to the highway.
[Buster]
Muffy, this is important.
Get in your limo
and go to Fremont street.
We need you to block
the intersection.
[Muffy]
What?
Hurry, it's a matter
of life or death!
Hang on!
Whoa!
Let it go!
Mine!
Mine!
Whoa! Whoa!
[together]
Wow.
Come on, Buster,
quit playing around.
[Pal whimpering]
Okay, Lucky, calm down.
I'll have us out of here
in a minute.
Once I figure out
these crazy...
[car honking]
Oh, all right!
Hold your horses.
[Pal whimpering]
Whoa!
Excuse me.
The truck took a wrong turn.
It's going toward downtown.
Muffy, quick,
turn your limo around.
Head for Puffer's Pond.
What are you talking about?
I don't even know what
I'm wearing yet.
Muffy, this is important!
I'd be much faster
if you didn't keep calling
to yell at me.
Oh, now, where is that...
Lucky, you waggy-doodle.
Look, you made me miss
the highway entrance.
It's going around the block.
Which block?
Yeah, which block?
Whoa!
Now it's going toward
the power plant.
[barking]
It's getting away!
Muffy, where are you?
It's turning toward
Lincoln Park.
Where is it?
It's headed towards
Muffy's house.
There's another
freeway entrance
a block from there.
[all]
Muffy!
[barking]
There it is!
Faster!
[barking]
Lucky, Lucky,
calm down.
What's the matter?
Come on, come on.
Ah, here we go!
Highway at last.
One more block, and then
it will be too late!
Muffy!
We'll never catch them now.
Pal!
Hey, it stopped.
Pal.
Excuse me!
This is so rude.
Can't you see
we're in a hurry?
I have to stop a truck.
Excuse me,
Miss Truck Driver!
I...I... Pal!
Pal!
Oh, Pal, it's so good
to see you.
You know this dog?
Yes, he's my... I mean,
he used to be my dog,
but I lost him and now--
he's yours.
I came because
he needs these.
I guess you think
I was a pretty bad owner,
but I wasn't as bad
as you think.
I mean, yes,
I forgot to feed him
and take him
for his walk.
And I even yelled
at him sometimes.
But I didn't cover
him in chocolate.
You didn't cover him
in chocolate,
and you brought me
this because?
If he doesn't take them,
he'll get sick.
Hmm. I see.
Well, I'd say it takes
a pretty concerned person
to chase down a truck
just to deliver some medicine,
wouldn't you?
No wonder this little guy
didn't want to leave town.
You didn't?
Looks like he
forgives you.
And if he forgives you,
who am I to tell him he's wrong?
Then I can
have him back?
Up to him.
But it looks like
he's already decided.
Pal!
You're coming home!
I believe
you'll need these.
It's been fun, Lucky.
And young lady,
if I could trouble you
to move your limo
out of the way.
Got a road
that needs hitting.
The happiness of millions
of children depends on me
getting the Mary Moo-Cow
"Ice is Nice" extravaganza
to their city.
[Kids]
Good-bye.
[sighs]
Mary Moo-Cow.
Oh, Pal,
I almost forgot.
Look what I found.
We solved a mystery.
I can't believe it.
Yeah, we sure did.
See, Buster?
You're not a bad detective
after all.
In fact, you're
a really good detective.
You think?
[barks]
[laughs]
But there's still one piece
of the puzzle missing,
one last thing
I can't figure out.
We still don't know
how you got outside.
[horn honking]
[Pal barking]
Pal!
Good work, boys.
I knew you'd do it.
Welcome home, Pal.
You found him!
You're safe!
I'm very mad at you,
though, Pal.
If I knew you'd take
this long to come home,
I never would have...
Uh...
D.W.
You have the right
to remain silent.
No, she doesn't!
Okay, D.W.,
what did you do?
All right,
you caught me.
I confess.
I did it.
But it's not like you think.
It's like I told you, see?
I heard a splash...
[splash, Pal barking]
...and I went to investigate.
[Pal barking]
Ew!
You can't take a bath
in there.
That's not for baths!
I tried to help him...
Toilet water!
Toilet water!
Toilet water!
Toilet water!
Aah!
How long before you die
from touching toilet water?
Aah!
I'm going to get you!
[whimpering]
What's the matter?
You have to go outside?
Okay, you can go outside,
but you have to stay
in the yard
and not go very far...
and come right back.
And if you get lost,
it's your fault
because I warned you.
You want us to believe
you told him all that?
I did.
Then I opened the door
and Pal went outside.
I'm sorry, but I think
he really, really had to go.
You're right,
he really did.
I'm really sorry, Pal.
From now on, I promise
to be better.
I...Pal?
Hold on,
I'm picking up a clue.
[D.W.]
Ahh!
[Arthur and D.W.]
Pal has to go again!
[D.W.]
I'll get his leash.
Whoa, I don't think
he can wait.
Hey, Pal, wait for me!
Me, too!
Arthur, don't let him
pee in my sandbox again.
[laughing]
Arthur, do
you hear me?
Arthur!
Ahh! Arthur, get him
out of my sandbox now!
