Bud and Michelle were already out and they smiled to Cherry as they were part of city council. The Buddies felt forced about being here as their kids were going to sing carols. Patch, Oddball, and Domino soon came over to the Buddies.

Deputy Sniffer was with them until he looked over to see the incoming dalmatians. "Well, look at who we have here."

"Hello, Deputy Sniffer, Merry almost Christmas." Patch smiled.

"So good to see you folks," Deputy Sniffer smiled back. "The kids are about to sing O Christmas Tree."

"That's a classic." Domino smiled back.

"It sure is, one of my favorites," Deputy Sniffer replied. "Now, who are you two again?"

"This is my niece Oddball and my nephew Domino." Patch introduced.

"Ohh, I've heard about you two." Deputy Sniffer laughed a bit but not in a mean way.

"Uh, what's so funny, sir?" Domino asked.

"Yeah, what's so funny?" Oddball added.

"Ah, it's nuthin'," Deputy Sniffer replied. "I believe the little Buddies have talked about ya two."

Budderball and Rosebud looked over shyly and nervously.

"Uh, Rosebud, what about Shasta?" Oddball whispered to her best friend.

"We kind of broke up." Rosebud frowned.

"Long-distance..." Oddball sighed.

"Yeah..." Rosebud sighed back. "Luckily it's gonna work out for you and Budderball though, Buddha can sense it."

"That's good." Oddball smiled.

"I sense it will be certain, my friends." Buddha replied spiritually.

"And I'm sure you three will find your true loves someday." Oddball smiled to MudBud, Buddha, and B-Dawg.

MudBud, Buddha, and B-Dawg smiled back to their old friend.

Soon enough, it was time for the carols and there was the singing of O Christmas Tree and Darla, Hallie, and Annie joined in. Atticus joined in as well and where even Patch, Oddball, and Domino joined in.

Deputy Sniffer chuckled to the song before looking to the Buddies. "Aren't you pups gonna sing along?"

"Yo, I don't sing, I rap," B-Dawg replied. "Why did we even have to come here?"

"It's a way to spread Christmas cheer." Oddball said.

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." Domino recited from a movie he and the twins really liked around the holidays.

"And besides, singing Christmas carols is great." Patch said.

"Indeed, I've been watching them light up the tree since I was a pup like you all." Deputy Sniffer smiled in memory.

Budderball quietly whimpered.

"Budderball, what's wrong?" Patch asked.

"Um, well, I'm still in the doghouse for eating Thanksgiving turkey." Budderball replied.

"Are you worried you might be on Santa Paws' naughty list?" Deputy Sniffer asked.

"Pshaw!" B-Dawg scoffed. "Santa Paws is just Dad dressed up in a red and white suit, that's all, dog! They just use it so we behave all year!"

"Sorry, B-Dawg, but Santa Paws is real; I know because I've seen him at the North Pole in one of my adventures." Patch told him.

"No way, you're full of it!" B-Dawg replied.

"If Uncle Patch believes in Santa Paws, then I do too!" Oddball replied firmly with a pout. "Hmph!"

"B-Dawg has a point, if Santa Paws actually came down the chimney, wouldn't there be a lot of soot?" MudBud asked.

"He walks down on the side of the inside of the chimney." Patch told MudBud.

"I'm not sure if I buy the whole Santa Paws thing either, but I sure do love the presents." Rosebud commented.

"Your material desires are those of what you want in mind," Buddha replied. "Enough is never enough."

"Wait, so you don't believe in Santa Paws, but you are happy on Christmas Day when you get presents?" Domino asked.

"That sounds rather selfish." Patch pouted.

"Oh, but presents isn't what Christmas is all about," Deputy Sniffer told the puppies. "Christmas is about the spirit of unselfish love and kindness.. There are pretty good amount of lonely puppies without children to love them."

"Deputy Sniffer is right." Patch told the pups.

The dogs then looked over as the humans sang their carols.

Bud and Michelle clapped with the other adults as the song concluded.

"And now for the best part." Cherry said.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the sheriff smiled to the crowd. "I wanna thank you all for coming to the Annual Lighting of the Fernfield Christmas Tree," he then muttered under his breath. "Not quite the turnout we expected..." he then spoke up louder again as he counted down while taking the plugs and plugged them in together to light up the tree and where everyone cheered for this.

Oddball shook a chill down her spine as a car drove past the celebration.

"Who's driving that car?" Domino asked.

"What car?" Budderball turned around. "Oh, that's Mr. Cruge, the dog-catcher."

"But doesn't he just catch strays?" Patch asked.

"He's ruthless against any dog that's all alone." Budderball explained.

"Yeah, if the kids weren't here, we'd be toast!" Rosebud added.

"Uncle Patch, I think you should give Budderball super strength." Domino said.

Patch nodded in agreement. Cherry coughed as she smelled smoke since somehow, the Christmas lights burned out. Patch soon used the Christmas magic from his crystal magical Pound Puppy dog tag to make the Christmas lights better and not burned out.

"I wonder how that happened?" Michelle pondered.

"A Christmas miracle, if I do say so myself." Bud replied as he held his wife.

Patch soon started to growl and bark at the dog-catcher. Atticus looked over as his grown teenage puppy was going toward Cruge and he rushed over.

"Miserable duo..." Cruge grumbled at Atticus and Patch.

Patch looked like he wanted to teach that man a lesson. Atticus held his puppy. Patch growled as he then went after the car.

"Wah!" Atticus yelped as he held onto Patch's back legs, but that wasn't going to stop the dog.

"Wow, Patch must really hate the man." Cherry said.

"It's a dog thing, Cherry..." Atticus grunted. "You wouldn't understand..."

"I guess I wouldn't." Cherry said.

"Patch, get back here!" Atticus cried out.

Patch followed after Cruge's car as he was on his way into an alley and where he soon caught the scent of an unfamiliar dog. "Stranger?" he asked himself as he followed the scent into an alley and where he saw a little puppy.

Patch saw the car coming and came to the puppy and hid with her quickly. "Stay quiet." he whispered.

The puppy nodded and hid away with Patch to avoid the dog-catcher. And where the dog-catcher looked down the alley to see no dogs there and decided to drive on. Patch peeked out and then breathed in relief once he then came out with the puppy again.

"Excuse me, but I'm hungry." the puppy told Patch before knocking down a trashcan.

Patch soon winced from the noise as he was sure that would catch the dog-catcher's attention for sure. The puppy prayed before eating and then bit into the meat she had found. Patch soon used his Christmas magic to protect the puppy. Unfortunately, Cruge was not gone, he had left his car and he came into the alley.

"Want some?" the puppy offered while she ate what she found.

"No thanks." Patch said before he used his magic to place a barrier around them.

"Oh, okay." the puppy then said before going back to her meal.

Cruge emerged from the shadows and came toward the dogs with his net.

"And he'll be trying to get the net on us in 3, 2, 1." Patch smirked quietly.

Cruge lowered his net only to get shocked by the magical barrier which blew him back against his van.

"Ooh, that sounded like it hurt." the puppy winced slightly.

"That's what happens when a bad person tries to catch either of us or any other dogs." Patch said.

"You're amazing..." the puppy said, then noticed his collar. "Oh, my gosh, you're a Pound Puppy!"

"That, I am," Patch smiled. "And much more."

"It seems more crystal like than I imagined." The puppy said.

"I'm more than a Pound Puppy," Patch said. "What's your name?"

"They call me Tiny 'cuz I'm so small." the puppy replied.

"Well, Tiny, where do you live?" Patch asked.

"Here." Tiny shrugged.

"What about your family?" Patch asked.

"I... I don't have one..." Tiny replied gently.

"That's terrible." Patch frowned.

"I've been trying to get adopted for the longest time," Tiny replied. "It's all I want for Christmas."

"Then that's what I'll get you for Christmas." Patch said.

"Are you Santa Paws in disguise?" Tiny asked.

"No, but I am one of his helpers," Patch smiled. "And where my master is a Santa helper for the big man in the red suit."

"Ooh!" Tiny sounded amazed.

"I know I've even met him once or twice and even his five pups." Patch smiled.

Tiny smiled back. "I think I've found me a friend."

"You have and I will find you a home, Tiny, I promise." Patch vowed.

"Thanks, Patch." Tiny smiled up.

"No problem, Tiny." Patch smiled back down.

And where after Tiny ate, Patch heard Atticus calling out for him.

"Atticus!" Patch turned himself around.

"Patch, where are you, boy?!" Atticus called.

"You better go to your master." Tiny said to Patch.

"Um, okay... Stay out of trouble." Patch replied before going off to Atticus.

"I will." Tiny smiled before about to get some sleep.

Patch then went off to Atticus.

"There you are!" Atticus smiled to his puppy.

"I met a new puppy." Patch told him.

"Oh, that's good." Atticus said.

"A Yorkshire I think, her name was Tiny." Patch replied.

"Aw!" Atticus smiled.

Patch smiled back. They then came back to the house.
