Back at Shelter 17, Sweet Pea embraces Harry in a big hug. "Oh, I'm so happy that you're safe, my sweet friend! I missed you so!"

"I missed you, too." Harry smiles and gives a contented sigh.

The two pups look up at the older dogs. "Uhm say, we hate to cut our visit short, but we need to be heading home now; Leon and Ruby might be getting worried."

"We understand," Lucky replies obligingly. "Please stay safe, little guys, it's been good to see you."

"Goodbye!" the Pound Puppies, Kennel Kittens, and Dot all bid a kind farewell to their little friends as they leave.

"Bye-bye!" the two pups wave goodbye in reply.

After Sweet Pea and Harry have left, the dogs and cats notice a concerned look on Strudel's face. "Say, what's th' matter, Strudel?" Squirt inquires.

"Well, you see," the dachshund begins hesitatingly. "There's something I've been meaning to tell all of you. You see, the reason why I haven't been familiar with these surroundings and the way things are done around here is...I'm actually from another dimension."

The group stares at her, astounded. "Another dimension?" Cookie echoes.

"Yes, I come from a dimension where dogs walk on all fours and can't talk to humans."

The group continues to exchange astonished glances. "Can't talk to humans? I can't believe it!" exclaims Niblet.

"The trouble also is, I think I've gotten switched with the Strudel from this dimension; if only there were some way that I could go back to my dimension and bring the Strudel from this dimension back to where she belongs."

"Well, I think I can help with that." says a voice from behind them. The dachshund whips around to see Toyoshiko approaching them. "There's an invention in your lab that will solve this issue right away. Follow me, please."

The group follows the robot dog into Strudel's lab, upon which she leads them to a large glowing purple machine with several multicolored buttons and a large swirling vortex in the center. She turns to Strudel, "This is the Dimensional gate, which will send you back to your own universe, and likewise bring the Strudel from this dimension back here. Ready to go, Strudel?"

"Just about," the dachshund sadly turns to the group. "I just wanted to tell you all that I've had a wonderful time in this dimension, and that all of you have been very good friends, and though I'll be missing you, I hope to come back to see you all again sometime soon; I'll tell all of my friends back home all about you and this marvelous place."

The group smiles and sighs contentedly. "Good luck, Strudel." Lucky says.

"Good luck to all of you, too. Goodbye, my friends."

Strudel then steps into the vortex, and immediately finds herself traveling at light speed through dimensions. She notices that she's changed back to her normal appearance, walking on all fours like a real dog again; as she zooms by, a version of herself resembling her previous guise, walking on two legs passes by her. "Hi there, uhm...me!"

"Oh, hi," the Strudel on two legs replies. "How are things going in my dimension?"

"Oh, just great! Your world's such an amazing place; I've had quite a good time there."

"Well, that's quite wonderful! Now, if you'll excuse me please, I must be going. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

A bright light flashes and Strudel appears back in her own world again. She looks around her and sees the other dogs tending to different matters around the pound, and the squirrels still tinkering with the machine. Strudel smiles; she couldn't wait to tell everyone where she'd been and what she'd seen!

The end.
