Its within a week before Spotty is done with his job and heads back with his Dalmatian family back at the Dearly Farm. Today he is announced from his captains about the deceit of Lieutenant Pug.
"Yes Captain McPurr!" Spotty says on the phone in his office, "Yes! My cats have successfully been formed into proper cadets. Following all my duties, staying on task, marching one by one. And best of all ultimately dictating the safety of all the pets, especially those human ones, all around this country! I'm proud to say that our aiding in the Companion Animals Act has been a big success!"
"Wonderful news, Spotty, wonderful!" McPurr proudly states to him, "However, as accustomed as we are to the Companion Animals Act, theres one major case, you should consider putting your cats into! And its a really big one right here, Sergeant!"
Spotty a bit shocked and flustered about what he just heard his Captain say, "What do you mean?"
"I'm getting records collected that there have been brigades of puppies over at a barn around Grutely!" McPurr tells him.
Spotty all dazed and confused, "What? There are brigades going on over at a Barn? Really? Brigades at a BARN?"
"Yes sir, Sergeant, that's what im getting reading. And that's illegal of course. I'm even confused myself who even could be running such a thing over at a barn." McPurr says to Spotty.
"Bow wow, Sir yes sir, Captain!" Spotty says agitated, "Wait Captain, you said at a barn in Grutely right?"
"Yes sir!" McPurr says.
"And puppies?" Spotty questions, "That must be where my Dalmatian family lives!"
"Ooooooo." McPurr flutters, "Really?"
"Yeah!" Spotty says, "This can't be right Captain! I've got to find out whose leading that 'Brigade' whatever he calls it at that barn, and put that low-life what's his name under military arrest!"
Just then, Cadet Patrick comes in to his office, "Sargeant Spotty!"
Spotty looks over at him in attention and then sighs in distress, "McPurr I gotta call you back!" "Yes Cadet Patrick, Is this important? I'm in the middle of an important call with Captain McPurr here!" Spotty scolds over to him.
"Oh yes sir, very important, I've created a warrant for you to make copies of which you might want to take a look at." Patrick tells Spotty.
"What is it?" Spotty asks him. "I've managed to create this picture of this creature of a weird looking dog called 'Pug' who's not a commissioned lieutenant." Patrick tells him as he shows him what he created.
Spotty then takes it from him and takes a look at it. After looking at it and reading it all, he gets shocked out of his mind at what he's done with his family as he discovers and that hes using the puppies for his own personal well being.
"This is complete fraud against civil law for the care of animals indeed! And certainly not legitimate under the Companion Animals Act." Spotty says, "My family lives there and this ugly 'Pug' doofus is an absolute disgrace to that landmark! We must save my family!"
Spotty also adds, "As we know Patrick, This act is designed to benefit pets, their owners and the wider community. This is a serious matter indeed!"
"Sergeant, if I must ask, how might you inform Pongo and Perdy, your parents! If this is your family your dealing with, you better get started lickity-split!" Cadet Patrick asks him.
"I can do that once I track him down, I've got to evaluate his performance in observance. Cause I know Lucky, Rolly, and Cadpig, my favorite siblings, are a part of this calamity. I'm already making pre-arrangements on the lineup on the announcements of caution towards my family." Spotty says.
Spotty then looks over at the warrant again and sees all about Pug's fear of cats, "Hmmmmmmm, according to this warrant, you say hes afraid of cats right?" Spotty asks Cadet Patrick. "He is sir yes sir! He also claims he fears this big cat named, 'Persian Pete', and claims him to be his number one target. They were neighbors at some point in time, but that's the least of our worries as he's not in any association with him." Patrick tells him. Spotty looks over about his troop of cats and thinks over the perfect plan and smirks at his idea. As he does that, he looks over to his troop and Patrick smiles and nods with him.
"I think we've got our cue to put that sicko behind bars." Spotty inclines.
"But sir, our last class isn't until Friday!" Cadet Patrick tells Spotty. "Oh that's okay. I'm going to get this TallyPugger on my system radar and keep track of where he is, and see what he is up to, then alert my family of all this for proof! My family has had their last brigade today, and soon we are going to show that Pug what REAL cadets to!" Spotty tells Cadet Patrick.
"Lucky must have taught you well, Sergeant!" Cadet Patrick proudly states.
"He did indeed, Patrick," Spotty says, "Diligence, determination, discipline, and dedication. What he considers, the four D's."
"Alright Cadet Patrick, get back to cleaning the closet!" Spotty commands Cadet Patrick. "I just cleaned it yesterday!" Patrick informs Spotty.
"MY closet!" Spotty directs him, "Be sure it's spotless and clean for when I leave." "Yes sir, I'll get right on it!" Patrick salutes him and heads to the direction of a wall with two doors. Cadet Patrick enters inside one of the rooms but heads into his bathroom not his closet.
Spotty looks over to the action and shouts out, "PATRICK! I said clean out my closet, not my bathroom!"
Cadet Patrick comes out and says, "Sorry sorry sir, I didn't quite see where I was going! Yes I will get right on it sir!"
Patrick then enters inside through the other door of the right room in his closet.
Spotty then gets to work gathering up all the information on Pug and gets him booted into his radar system while sighing then saying to himself, "The things I do for my kittens. Two weeks ago I taught them Map reading class and they successfully learn about it. Perhaps I should have made them some maps too!" Then he shakes his head in distress.
-Later-
Lucky, Rolly, Cadpig, and Spot make it to Stifle Mall. Spot gets apprehensively shocked by how big the mall is and says, "Wow this mall is REALLY huge! We'll never find Filibuster"
Then a man announces through the speakers on the Malltop ceiling, "Welcome Stifle Mall shoppers! For today's visit by 'The First Lady and the First Dog'," As the man makes the announcement, Spotty arrives out of his Military Paw Patrol truck and listens as the man continues
The man in the speaker continues, "The secret service requires that each dog be accompanied by its owner!"
Spotty gets out of his truck then sneaks out to look at the action behind one of the tires of one of the cars that are parked closer to the entrance to get a closer look at the action that's going on.
The man in the speaker concludes, "Thank you very much!" Spotty then says as he notices Lucky, Rolly, Cadpig, and Spot, "There they are! My favorite siblings! But what are they doing here without Mom and Dad?"
Lucky and them make their way into the entrance but are stopped by one of the big security dogs. "Where are your pets?" The security dog asks Lucky. Lucky answers as Spot steps beside him, "Uh, we left them home. They are housebroken." Cadpig and Rolly are standing side from behind him.
The security dog states upon that matter, "No humans, no entry!"
"SCRAM!" He then scolds out to them. Then they flinch out and retreat away and hide behind one of the parked cars tires.
Spotty watches the action and then sees the pups as they go hide behind the tires while shaking his head in dispair.
The pups stick their heads out and then Cadpig says, "He could definitely use a workshop in anger management. And I'd love to facilitate." She comes out in front of the tire while stating that remark. Spotty sighs then says to himself, "Oh don't don't don't don't don't don't don't come on Cadpig, please! He's the Mall Security Dog, he's got every right in what he's doing."
Spot says, "Oh turned away at the door." She then comes out in front of the tire, "Can you believe it? I object sick about this. Lets go home!" She then makes her way on path back at the farm.
Spotty says as he sees Spot trying to make it back home says to himself, "Is Lucky going to try for a plan for them to sneak inside? I bet he is."
Lucky then bites on to Spot's tail pulling her back with the gang. "Yep," Spotty says, "I knew it! You just don't know when to quit do you Lucky?"
"Forget it," Says Lucky, "We're going in!" He then notices a big orange hairy dog with hair long enough to make cover around the bottom.
Lucky says, "And I think I've found our cover!" The gang make their way towards through the underside of the big orange hairy dog.
Spotty sees that action and then says to himself, "Inside a big hairy dog. How clever. Guess it's a good thing that dog hasn't been to the grooming store in so long!"
Spotty adds smiling, "I wonder who that chicken might be with Lucky, Rolly, and Cadpig though. A friendly pup if I could call her indeed!"
He then turns back around behind the car tire and looks over to his radar that indicates Pug is at the location of Stifle Mall. "Man, you know its bad when your heart is in the same area as the victim of crime. It's only a sign that those pups are in deep trouble."
Spotty sees the precise spot Pug is hiding in and then says, "Alright, where's that doggone Pug!"
Spotty then sticks his head out from the front of the tire and brings out his binoculars to see the closer look at the location Pug is hiding at.
Pug sticks his head out of a fern plant outside and notices the puppies. He then says as the puppies make their way toward their cover, "Looks more like desertion every second!"
"Gotta follow em!" Pug says, "Hiya!" As Pug starts chasing after those puppies, Spotty notices and pulls out his binoculars to get a closer look at Pug.
Spotty growls silently as he seems him through his binocluars and says, "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, there's that malicious Frog head!"
Spotty calls out to his walkie talkie to call order to his Captain, "Paw Patrol Military base number seven, Sergeant Spotty to Captain McPurr?...I've encountered Lieutenant Pug at a Mall called 'Stifle Mall' about four or five blocks southeast from my families barn."
As Pug continues making his chase towards the pups, he runs under the security dog and then the dog looks at him upside down, "Hey short stuff! Where are you going?" The dog asks Pug.
"Now just stand down mister!" Pug says to the security dog, "I've got official military business. Four deserters went through those doors and I'm tracking em." Pug tells the security dog.
"Then you'll have to go through me. The White House didn't send me here to let rotty little loudmouths threaten National Security." The security dog growls at him.
"Little!?" Pug scolds back and climbs on the dogs head, "My muscle bum, brain-dead pile..." He stammers and then falls asleep on the dogs nose hind.
Spotty continues to look at the action through his binoculars and gasps, then calls over to McPurr on his walkie talkie, "McPurr!?...This is worse that I anticipated, he's being held back on what he claims his 'official military business' by going after my brothers and sister, Lucky, Rolly, and Cadpig and their chicken friend, name I don't know, but just snuck their way into the mall. They managed to find their cover by hiding beneath a really hairy orange dog. Not entirely sure what that breed of a dog is, but as for Pug; one of the big security mall dogs has him stopped right now. However, his Narcolepsy really kicks in on him. Your right, Captain, this is not military fashion! He just fell asleep on top of the nose hind of the dog...I'm watching all the action going on right now with him, and I'm hiding behind one of the car tires of a vehicle that's parked close to the Mall."
Captain McPurr answers to Spotty, "Alright, I've got your location pinpointed Spotty, and I'm following the system here. Just continue keeping a good eye out for him, but don't get too close, Sergeant!"
"Roger, Captain!" Spotty obeys to McPurr.
The security dog throws Pug off his nose hind then holds onto him toward his mouth while hes in a snooze. He then heads toward a trash dump and throws Pug inside.
As the security dog does so, Spotty sneaks his way through the undersides of the other parked cars to continue seeing the action of what the security dog is doing to Pug, and then notices he threw him in a dump.
Spotty calls to McPurr, "McPurr!...The security dog just threw Pug in a trash dump!" "Oh wow, Sergeant!" McPurr answers back, "Man, this is bizaare. As unpredictable as it seems for Lucky, Rolly, Cadpig, and what did you say their friend was?"
Spotty answers, "A chicken, name I don't know."
Captain McPurr continues on out, "I see, well I am getting reading Filibuster is there! They must be pretty excited, and dying to meet him! I've told you, Spotty, about the exciting offers I'd have to you about him. And Thunderbolt as well!"
"Bow Wow, you indeed did, sir!" Spotty answers back, "And from what I can tell, they are apparently skipping their 'Bark Brigade' class for this special occasion which is why Pug is after them!" Spotty answers back.
"However, by themselves at the mall?! Sargeant its too dangerous to go their without their parents or human pets! Don't your parents, Pongo and Perdy, concern of this?" McPurr explains to Spotty.
"I don't know, Captain! But apparently it's worse they are being chased by the victim of crime, McPurr! I've got to do something! I've already got some warrants to post around the city including this mall for Pug's arrest. What are my commandments sir?" Spotty answers to McPurr.
"Alright look Sargeant!" McPurr directs to Spotty, "Make your way inside. Being the sargeant you are, you can probably go in without a human pet. Just keep a good eye out on Pug on your radar, but don't post out any warrants until hes gone! I want you to command your cats on the last day of your class to charge toward him to the prison court martial. By then he will be locked up for good! Now no matter what you do or where you go, don't make any sudden moves whatsoever!"
"Roger Captain, but I should also try to warn that chicken, as well as Lucky, Cadpig, and Rolly about Pug and the truth about him while I'm on it!" Spotty answers back to McPurr. "That won't be necessary Sargeant, until the job is done." McPurr answers back, "You can't let Pug in your sight while in there! All clear!?"
"Yes Sir, Captain! Sargeant Spotty, over and out!" Spotty calls out. "This is my family I'm dealing with here, and I have to defend it! BIG TIME!" Spotty says to himself.
-Inside the Mall-
As the big hairy orange dog continues walking its back, Lucky, Rolly, and Cadpig stick their heads out from the front of the dog, and Spot sticks out from the middle.
They all come out from their cover from the hairy dog and then sneak their way into path. They then run towards path over a bench chair in front of a lady reading a book.
They run up the stairs to another floor then down an escalator on the rail, and then they run path towards another escalator and sit on the rail making their way up again.
After riding that escalator, they continue running path. As they go, Spot points out, "This place is a maze!" They find a fern to hide behind while Spot continues, "Now I know we'll never find the first dog."
They then all stick their heads out from side of the pot of the fern plant. Lucky then says, "No sweat! All we need is a mall directory map." They find one just right down the center corner. Lucky sees it and says, "Bingo!"
They then make their way towards it and try to make up the locations of their whereabouts are inside the mall.
Cadpig notices the bottom center of the map with the arrow pointing down to the dot indicating where the exact location of where they are right now is .
She says, "It says, 'You are here.'". As they try to understand the map, they are unfortunately all dazed and confused as it turns out they are not the best at map reading.
Rolly says, "They hardly know it's us." Lucky then says, "They have their ways." He then gets up and leans toward the right side of the map pointing out matters of locations in his own mind and puts his paw on some random location on the spot and says, "I think we're right here, in the Titanium Terrarium Terus."
Cadpig objects and says, "No, that's silver! We're in the red, see? That's the Magnificent Marble Mezzanine."
Rolly then says, "Nuh-uh, red is the Grandiose Carded." "This map dosen't make any sense." Lucky says all lost in his mind.
-Back at the Dump-
The Mall Trash Truck comes and dumps out the trash inside the truck where Lieutenant Pug was thrown into by the mall security dog, and he falls in with it.
After Pug comes out from the pile of trash inside, he says to himself while a couple of flies are surrounding him, "So, that secret service weenie wouldn't stay abide. Thought he could keep ME out, did he?"
The compactor inside the garbage truck closed in on him, flinging Pug right out in the shape of a rectangle.
"Well," Pug says as he returns to normal shape with stains on him and flies continuing to fly around him, "I sure outsmarted him! Huh!" He then makes his way inside through the back door and says, "Silly Doberman!"
-Back inside the Mall-
The pups continue exploring inside the mall. Lucky sees the mall security cop and dog running toward some pathway, and then says, "Look! Maybe if we follow them, they'll lead us to the first dog."
They then follow them both toward their path with Rolly in behind. However, Rolly stops and smells something bad and says, "Yuck! Smells like we're near a garbage boutique!"
The others stop to smell the exact stench Rolly came across. At the same time after they smell the stench, Lucky grosses out, "UCCK!" Cadpig says, "Ewww!", and Spot says, "Yuck!". Lucky comtinues to sniff and says, "It smells more like fumingdales."
Lucky then gasps as he sees Lieutanant Pug inside covered in the garbage where that stench is coming from.
"It's Pug!" He says. "Ooooooooh, he'll report us to Colonel!" Spot says all worried. "Stay cool," Lucky says, "Just don't let him see us!" They then quietly start walking off to their side.
Pug unfortunately catches them in his sight and says, "HALT!" They all then stop. "HALT! You deserters!" Pug shouts out. Then he starts making a run towards the gang.
Lucky then inclines, "If he dosen't catch us, he can't throw a thing out to the Colonel! Run!" Then they make a run for it as Pug chases them out.
The gang runs past a chair and then runs a different direction to their left from the chair. At the same time Pug slips and runs into a plant, and then it gets knocked over his head. Pug sticks his head out from the plant all frustrated and says, "Now, your making me mad!".
The gang continues making a run from Pug around the mall around all the people inside. Pug continues chasing them down over those people while ordering, "HALT! You awol renegades!".
The pups find another escalator and run toward it as Lucky leads in and says, "The only way out is up!". Then he starts climing up toward the steps on the escalator with the rest of the pups following behind. All the people around the escalator shout in shock and astonishment towards the action going on as all the pups continue trying to make their way up toward the steps.
As they continue trying to make their way up Spot, Rolly, and Cadpig catch up with Lucky. Spot then lands on top of Lucky causing him to tumble back rolling over. They run into Cadpig leading her to tumble back along with them. Finally they run into Rolly leading to the same, and then they all fall back onto the floor.
Pug then encounters them and says, "Deserters at ten o'clock!" Then a woman is demonstrating perfume excessive passion. "Discover the mystery of perfume excessive passion." The lady says to the man as she sprays some of the perfume towards the man's face, "For bi-" She gets cut off by Pug who still has that garbage smell on him. Then she screams and tries to step on him in the process of shooing him away.
However she comes up with the perfect plan to make Pug's stench go away by spraying the perfume on him. "Discover the mystery of this, you little stinkbomb!" She says as she sprays it on him.
Pug gets a little stunned by the gas from the perfume, "Ah! Poison gas and-" Pug gets cut off by knocking over the cabinet of all the glasses of perfume. He then says making a run from all that perfume being knocked down, "Take cover!".
The gang notices Pug making a run from all that perfume being knocked out one by one. Spot gasps at the action as Pug continues running from the perfume being knocked down.
Lucky then inclines for the gang, "Now is our chance! Let's get out of here!" Then they start making a run for it.
Pug continues running from the knocked out perfume, and then finally finds a fern plant to hide inside. He then sticks his head out and says to himself, "I hate the smell of perfume in the morning."
Just then the pups are now hiding inside a big trash can. Spot sticks her head out and sees that as of the moment, coast is clear. She gets back inside and says, "Oh, We're in for it now! Pug will hunt us down like animals!" Then Cadpig says to her, "We ARE animals!".
Rolly points out, "Worse, if Pug catches us, we'll have to face the Colonel." Lucky then asks, "Anybody got any ideas?".
Cadpig answers while grabbing onto Lucky's collar while in the middle of stating, "Well, we could humbly confess, beg for mercy, and then... blame you for getting us into this mess."
Lucky then says in return, "Uh, that's not a good idea, but this is! We ask Filibuster to get us a Presidential part, and then they CAN'T throw us out of the Bark Brigade."
Lucky then leads the gang out of the trash can and all make their way out while he directs, "Come on! Let's find that bookstore!"
Tune in next chapter as Spotty makes his way inside the mall to investigate Pug and try to win the pups way to Filibuster and perhaps maybe, just maybe Spotty can return them the favor of retreiving the bowl they've wanted and autograph it by Filibuster in case they miss it!
