That was boogie-woogie awesome, Zippy.

I brought a camera today because we're making a movie.

And I've invited

a world-famous movie director to come help.

[barks]

What's a movie director?

Well, it takes lots of people to make a movie,

and the director's the one who's in charge.

[barks]

- Of course you can be in the movie, Zippy.

Everyone will.

Come on, let's go start our day.

you don't say hello by sticking your hand out.

You say hello to dogs like this.

Hello, dogs.

You let a dog come to you and give you a sniff.

Hey, Zippy.

Dogs say hello with their noses.

Zippy, that's a beautiful coat.

I just have to figure out what it is.

I'm gonna make you giggle and wiggle with a movie joke.
