This is a collab that brave kid and I worked on a little while ago(He had the initial idea and I wrote the script), and the fourth in a series he and I will be working together on in the future, in which the characters from the 2010 series stand on their hind legs, wear human clothes, and talk to humans as the characters in the 1986 series did(Pictures of the characters from this story are also now available at my blog, the Keeper of the Fun blog). Please enjoy!(BTW brave kid, thank you very much for this story suggestion. I had a lot of fun working on this story with you, and I very much appreciate it. I look forward to writing future stories with you.) :)

It's a lovely day in New York City. In the harbor, a boat from Russia is docking, and a series of people, dogs, and cats are disembarking it. Among them is a small shaggy Wolfhound puppy; he's black with a grey snout and shaggy grey eyebrows, and wears a floppy green beret and a thick silver collar with a large rounded tag which almost looks like a compartment for something(1). Looking all around him, he takes a deep breath and sighs, "Ahh, America, what a country! And soon, she vill be my home sweet home."

Unfortunately, little did he know that things weren't to remain smooth sailing for him. Seated at a nearby bench are a pair of large Siamese cats(2), one with a brown snout and one with a black snout; the brown snouted one wears a dark green coat, a pink beret, and a pair of dark glasses, and the black snouted one wears a dark brown coat, a furry black hat, and a pair of dark glasses. The cats look casually up at the little dog. "Zere he is," the black-snouted cat says. "He eez zee one wis' zee map hidden inside hees collar."

"Splendid, Dear," the brown-snouted cat replies. "Zee boss vill be happy to see heem."

"Quite indeed." The cats sneak quietly up to the unsuspecting puppy and nab him. "Oh, hello, friends," he greets them. "Are you velcoming committee from new country?"

"Not quite," the brown-snouted cat replies. "Vee are torturing committee from old country!"

"Oh my!" the pup shudders. He quickly slip out of their grasp and runs away. "Toodle-oo-ski!"

"Don't let heem get avay!" the brown-snouted cat commands, upon which the two cats take off after him.

"Help! Someone please!" the pup cries as he zooms down the road.

At that very moment, the Super Secret Pup Club come walking down the sidewalk from the other end, when suddenly the little black pup collides with them. He gasps, "Oh my goodness, I am zo zorry!"

"Think nothin' of it, li'l fella." Patches replies, as the pup gently helps each of them up.

"Oh, by zee vay, my name is Yakov." the pup states.

"What'cha runnin' away from so fast, Yakov?" Rebound inquires.

Before Yakov can answer, he hears footsteps behind him and begins to sweat profusely. "Oh no, oh NO!"

"What's the matter, Yakov?" Cupcake inquires.

Yakov motions over his shoulder toward the two cats running toward him. "They're after me!"

"Don't worry, li'l fella," says a very determined Rebound. "We know a place where you'll be safe for sure. Follow us!" The four of them then hop down a nearby garbage can; at that moment, the cats approach the can as the lid pops up and end up getting smacked in their noses. "Owwwski..." they groan, as they amble away.
