(Sniffing)
Uh-uh, not here.
(Sniffing)
No way!
(Sniffing)
Oh, bingo!
How does he know that that's
the spot to bury his bone?
Eh, it's a dog thing.
Hey, look at this!
Where is everyone?
Woopsie! Sorry.
Ah, no worries.
Yeah! Dirt never hurt anyone.
Yes, yes! Getting dirty
is noble and fun.
Is that a stain? Oh, no...
Hal, what do you got there, bud?
No idea. It was
buried right here.
Only one way to find out.
Tally ho!
(Grunting)
Voila.
Whoa!
This certainly looks
like some sort of map.
A map! Oh, boy! A map!
Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
Oh, boy! Oh, boy-- wait.
What's a map?
A map is a picture of
a place from way above.
Kind of like if you were
looking down from an airplane.
Hey, there's Sunset Park!
Here are the swings
and the baseball fields.
Oh, a map's kind of like
a miniature world!
Whoa! This isn't just any map.
This is a treasure map.
It leads to the treasure
of Bad Dog Bart.
(Gasping)
The treasure of Bad Dog Bart!
Oh, boy! Bad Dog Bart!
Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
Wait, who's Bad Dog Bart?
He was the
neighbourhood bad dog.
Bad Dog! Very bad dog!
Here, I'll show you.
Um, can we roll
that clip please?

Bad Dog Bart ♪

such a bad dog ♪
♪ What a very, very bad dog ♪♪

♪ Whoa, what a bad dog,

(Laughing)
No one ever knew what
happened to Bad Dog Bart
or his treasure chest.
Until now!
This map will lead us to
the treasure of Bad Dog Bart!
We gotta go find it!
Wait-- I mean,
let's not be rash.
After all, Bad Dog Bart
is a bad dog,
and, uh, kind of a cat.
But think how
amazing it would be
to find all the stolen toys
and bones and return them all.
True. Very compelling
argument, Daisy.
It's just that his name
is "Bad Dog Bart,"
so he must pretty bad.
(Squeaking)
What's that,
Mr. Chewinski?
Oh, you think Mrs. Chewinski
could be in the treasure chest?
(Squeaking)
Oh, yeah. No, I know,
it's been one year and
six days since we last saw her.
I miss her so much too.
(Sobbing)
(Sighing)
That's it!
I can't stand to see
a chew toy so sad.
Bad dog or no bad dog,
we need to find
the stolen loot for Hal,
for the neighbourhood dogs
and for true love!
ALL:
For true love!
DAISY:
Okie dokie, it says here
we begin at a big old
oak tree in Sunset park.
Well, g*ng, it looks like our
treasure map adventure
begins in Sunset Park!
Onward and Yonward!
(Crashing)
Okay, Sunset Park
is the other way, Nature Cat.
But of course! I knew that.
Tally ho...
The old oak tree, here she is.
But how do we know that
this is the right oak tree?
There's so many.
The map!
Look on the map. The oak
tree's on the edge of a pond
and look here,
this oak tree is on
the edge of a pond.
It's the right tree! Whoo-hoo!
I never doubted you, tree.
Okay, according to the map,
we go from the
tree twenty paces
toward the peak of the
Mighty Mountains to a boulder.
The Mighty Mountains!
So, twenty paces that-a-way.
Follow me!
One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten, eleven,
twelve, thirteen,
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
and twenty. Whoa!
This is not the boulder!
(Screaming)
(Grunting)
Stop the ride.
I want to get off.
Oh, you guys,
where's the boulder?
Did we mess up the directions?
Or maybe the map's wrong.
It can't be wrong.
Bad Dog Bart made it.
Hey, that's it.
Bad Dog Bart made it
and he's a big dog,
so his paces would be longer
than yours, Nature Cat.
True, but mine are
way more graceful.
Thank you.
Yeah, what we need
are some big doggie paces,
just like bad Dog Bart.
I've got this!
Twenty big doggie paces
coming at ya!
One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten, eleven,
twelve, thirteen,
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
seventeen, eighteen,
nineteen, twenty!
Hey, I'm over here!
Ta-dee! Is the large boulder
you were looking for?
Well, he headed towards the
mountains for twenty paces,
so yup, this is the boulder.
Way to go, Hal!
Oh, thank you.
Okay, guys, look,
it says now we gotta go
forty paces from the boulder--
I got it.
Forty big doggie paces.
Wait, forty paces,
but there's more!
It says head north until you
come to the red berry bush.
Hey, do you think this is north?
Whoa!
(Grunting)
Does the map say anything about
being chased by
hundreds of rocks?!
Um, no.
Whoa!
Okay, direction is north.
Distance is forty paces
to the red berry bush.
So, we need to figure out
which way is north.
We need a compass.
Voila, a compass!
Now, if I only knew
how to work this thing.
You guys, you guys,
I think I'm on to something.
Look, the way the compass works
is I hold it very flat
in my hand, and I move myself
until the "N" on the compass
lines up with the needle.
That's the direction
we need to go, north!
Forty large doggie paces,
onward and northward.
One, two, three,
four, five...
... , and forty.
(Sighing)
It's the red berry bush!
(Squeaking)
Yes, soon,
Mr. Chewinski,
very soon you'll be
back with your true love.
Oh, true love!
(Sobbing)
Sorry, where were we?
Okay, what's next?
Looks like we now head west,
thirty paces to the brook.
Okay, this is north,
so now what?
Hold on. We can find
west another way.
If we face north,
then my right arm points east
and my left arm points west.
West it is!
Thirty paces
onward and westward.
ALL:
... , , !
The Brook!
DAISY:
Yup, looks like now we have to
follow the brook downstream.
Hmm... but how far do we go?
DAISY:
Until we get to
this Y-shaped tree.
How are we going
to do that?
(Grunting)
Hop on!
Water, why'd it
have to be water?
(Squeaking)
Yes! I won't forget the quest...
for true love!
ALL:
For true love!
NATURE CAT:
Which way do we go?
SQUEEKS:
Um, it says
head south of the park.
But which way is south?
So, if north is this way...
that means south
is right behind me!
(Laughing)
South!
SQUEEKS:
Which way, Nature Cat?
NATURE CAT:
To the left!
HAL:
The left? Right.
Wait, the right?
NATURE CAT:
No, left.
HAL:
Left? Right.
Again? So, south is right?
No, south is left!
SQUEEKS:
Man, oh, man, that
certainly was a close one.
Now what do we do?
Okay, everyone,
look for the Y-shaped
tree along the shore.
There it is!
Okay, now we go ten paces
to the east of the tree,
"X" marks the spot.
If north is in front of me,
then east must be that way!
Ten doggie paces!
Come on, Mr. Chewinski,
for true love!
ALL:
One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten.
DAISY:
"X" marks the spot right here!
Stand back, everyone.
I'm going in...
for true love!
There's something here.
(Both gasping)
It's the treasure
of Bad Dog Bart.
(All gasping)
Oh, my!
We found
Bad Dog Bart's treasure.
Look through and
take back your toys!
(All barking,
toys squeaking)
I'm sorry, Mr. Chewinski,
but it doesn't look like
Mrs. Chewinski's in here.
(Squeaking)
Okay, I'll look one more time.
Oh, oh, oh!
(Squeaking)
ALL:
Oh, Mrs. Chewinski!
NATURE CAT:
Yay!
