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) which is the eighth 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 after midnight in New York City. At Dot's Puppy Pound, all of the dogs and cats are asleep in their beds. All seems calm...all, that is, except the villainous Milton Feltwaddle's nephew Morton, who had sneaked into the pound and was now sticking a flash drive into Pound Puppy HQ's main computer,which contained a virus which would prevent all of HQ's computers from working. After doing this deed, Morton quietly steals away, snickering nastily as he goes. "Heh heh, this'll stop those do-gooder dogs for sure!"
The next morning, the Pound Puppies and Kennel Kittens are welcoming a new arrival to the pound. "Friends," Lucky says, motioning toward the new pup. "I'd like you to meet Roxie(1)!" Roxie is a small Dalmatian pup wearing an orange shirt, plum-colored jeans, and an orange bow above her right ear.
"Howdy, everyone." she greets them politely.
"Howdy, Roxie." the Pup Club reply.
Cookie walks up to her. "Roxie Dear, we have a special surprise for you. We're going to find you your perfect owner!"
The little Dalmatian pup's face lights up. "Really? Oh, this is so wonderful!"
"I shall go now and find your perfect owner via the F.K.D." Strudel says. She traipses over to the machine and presses several buttons, but nothing appears on the screen. "Hmm...odd..." She checks to see if the machine is plugged in, which it turns out to be, checks the on/off switch, which is set to "On", and tries rebooting the machine, but regrettably, it doesn't work.
"This is a mysterious case," the dachshund says, scratching her head. "It's hard to quite discern what's causing this."
"Say Strudel," Squeak calls. "I think I may have found the problem." Strudel hurries over to Squeak, who's standing by the main computer; he motions toward the flash drive. "This seems to have given the computers some sort of virus."
A serious look crosses the dachshund's face. "This looks very much like one of Feltwaddle's tricks."
"Feltwaddle!" an angry look crosses Cookie's face. "We should've known HE was behind all of this!"
"But, what're we gonna do?" says a concerned Niblet. "Without no computers or the F.K.D. or nothin', how are we gonna find any puppies or purries their perfect owners?"
"Especially Roxie." adds Rebound. Roxie looks on worriedly.
A wistful look suddenly crosses Strudel's face. "I think I might know just the thing! Follow me, please."
