(Engine revs and whirs)

Hop on!

Let's find boy.

(Scooter whirs off)

Austin: boy!

Boy!

Here, boy!

Boy?!

Ugh! Look!

There he is!

Hey, can you whistle?

Ugh?

If you whistle, the dinosaur will come

And we can put the leash back on him.

Oh! Well, I can try to whistle.

(Blowing hard but no sound) pffffft!

Pffffft!

Ugh.

I guess I can't whistle.

Can you whistle?

No, I can't whistle,

But I can snap my fingers.

(Snaps fingers)

Impressive.

(Boy barks happily)

Austin: but it's not helping.

(Panting and snuffling the flowers)

Time for plan b.

What're you gonna do with that?

Watch and learn.

Yoo hoo! Dinosaur!

Here, boy!

Here, puppy! Wanna treat?

(Barks excitedly)

Here he comes!

Uniqua: quick! Give me the leash!

I don't like quiche.

No! The leash!

Oh, the leash!

(Boy barks)

(Gasps) ugh! Come back here!

(Lunging grunt)

Gotcha!

Whoa!

Ahhh! Whoa!

Ugh! If only I could whistle!

Pfffffft! Pfffffft!

Uniqua: whoaaa! Hey! Help!

Oh! Here I come!

(Engine revs and whirs)

Uuugh!

Help!

Pfffffft!

Ahhhh!

Aaahhhhhh! Ugh!

Austin: uuugh!

Ugh! (Siren wails)

Come back here! Police!

Ahhhhh! Help!

Pfffffffffft!

(Police siren wails)

Ugh! The police!

Ahhhhhhhhh!

Oh no! Tar puddle!

Boy, stop! Whoa!

Whoaaaa!

Oof!

Hello.

Why, hello.

Tar puddle!

Both: ew! Ick! (Tar sloshes)

Tar puddle.

Puppy: (panting happily)

Oh, boy!

(Approaching wail of siren)

(Police car screeches to halt)

Do you know why I stopped you?

Um, because you wanted to say "hi"?

Yes. Hi!

But also because you were driving too fast.

Sorry, officer.

And you were riding around on a dinosaur.

Sorry, officer.

That's my dinosaur, officer.

He's just a puppy and he ran away.

Hmmm...

A runaway dinosaur, you say?

Uniqua and austin: ugh!

(Pebbles clatter)

Pablo, uniqua and austin: huh?

Austin: (gasps) boy! There he is!

Stand back, everyone.

This is a job for the police.

Attention! Attention, dinosaur!

This is the police.

Put the bone down,

And move slowly away from the hole.

He's not listening.

Can you whistle?

He'll come if you whistle.

Hmmm...

No, I can't whistle.

But rub my belly and tap my head.

Ugh!ugh!

That is impressive.

But we really do need someone who can whistle.

Don't worry, I know what to do!

Austin: what's that?

Uniqua: and what are you gonna do with it?

I'm going to put this hook on your dinosaur's collar

So he can't run away.

Gotcha, dinosaur!

You thought you could outsmart the police?

Well, I've got news for-

(Bumper snaps and rattles)

Note to self: get new bumper.

Austin: boy!

Boy! Come back!

Lips don't fail me now.

Pffffffft! Pffffffft!

(Boy barks excitedly)

Ugh!

Officer, we've got to catch that dinosaur!

(Frightened yelps)

Except maybe up that tree.

(Whimpers)

Officer, you scared him!

Sorry 'bout that.

How are we gonna get him down?

Well, I could call the fireman.

Uniqua and austin: ugh!

Come in, fireman tyrone.

(Fire truck siren wails)

You called?

Pablo: that was quick.

Austin: mr. Fireman, sir.

My dinosaur,

He's caught up in that tree.

Hmmm...

You know, he'll come down

If you whistle.

Yeah! Can you whistle?

I'm afraid I can't.

But I can wiggle my ears.

Ugh!ugh!ugh!

That is impressive!

But whistling would be really helpful.

Don't worry, I know exactly what to do.

I'm gonna climb this ladder, see.

Then I'm gonna put that hook

On the dinosaur's collar.

Careful. Don't let him fall!

I would never let him fall.

But if do let him fall,

Be ready to catch him in this!

Austin and uniqua: cool! Awesome!

All: (grunts of effort)

Okay. (Ladder whirs)
