[Tully] "Tully's Troublesome Trainee."
There it is! The K-9 Academy.
That's where you learned how to be a search and rescue dog?
Yep. And today, it's where you'll get to do
some advanced Skills and Drills training.
Oh. My. Feathers. I'm so excited, I could just--
[whimpers]
Gee, Coop. That sounds more sad than excited.
Um, that wasn't me.
Is someone there?
-[whimpering] -[sniffing]
Oh, uh, just me.
Hey there, little pup. What's your name?
My name's Freckles.
Hi, Freckles! I'm Coop, and that's Sweetie,
Little Boo, and Captain Tully.
Do you live nearby? Where's your collar?
Actually, I don't have a collar.
Because I don't have a home.
-[gasp] -No home?
That's okay, Freckles.
I know just how you feel,
because when I was a little pup,
I didn't have a home, either.
Really? We didn't know that.
It's true. Up until the day I joined the K-9 Team,
I had no place to go each night, and nowhere to call home.
Did you ever find a home?
I did.
I learned that some dogs,
if they worked very hard,
could join the K-9 Team.
I knew if I could do that, then this could be my home.
♪ Once I was a pup like you No collar of my own ♪
♪ Had no place to rest my paws Spent every night alone ♪
♪ But then I found a friendly hound Who led me through this door ♪
♪ I found the home Where I belonged ♪

[Freckles] Wow, Captain Tully.
You're so lucky you found a home.
This can be your home too, Freckles.
-Really? -You bet, buddy.
I'll help you learn everything you need to know to be on the K-9 Team.
By the time we're done, you'll have a home. I promise.
Of course, I'll need my team to help with the training.
Whaddaya say, Squad?
I say we have our charge for the day.
And it's one of our most important charges ever--
help Captain Tully train Freckles!
Let's roll!
You got it!
[grunting and laughing]
[laughs nervously] Sorry. I thought you said "roll over."
[Coop] Now this is an obstacle course.
So... much... exercise equipment.
And this is where you learned how to be on the K-9 Team?
Yep. These are my old stomping grounds.
Neat!
To join the K-9 Team, you have to finish this obstacle course
and show you have the athletic skills needed
to do search and rescue missions.
Hey, Captain Tully!
What are you doing back at the academy?
Helping out a possible new recruit.
[chuckles] Well, then you're being trained by the best.
Good luck to you.
[grunts] Now let's see if I've still got it.
There's the rope bridge, where you test your balance.
[grunts] Give it a try, Coop.
Whoa! Whoa!
Keep your wings out!
Feathertastic job, Coop!
Then you practice returning a wallet that someone dropped.
Who wants to try?
My turn.
Bagawk!
[grunts] Sir, I believe that belongs to you.
I am genuinely in awe of our sister.
[train whistles]
[Captain Tully] Finally, you'll rescue a teddy bear from the train tracks.
Teddy bear? Little Boo, comin' through!
[panting]
Gotcha!
Nice teamwork, Captain Tully.
Thanks for helping with the demo, Squad.
Freckles, you think you got all that?
[Freckles] Ooh, head scratchies.
-Freckles? -That's the spot.
Freckles!
Oh, uh, yeah, got it! I'm ready to try the course!
Okay, about to start my new life in the Academy.
Home on the K-9 Team, here I come.
Looking good, Freckles!
[ball bouncing]
[gasps] Ball! [panting]
Freckles, w-wait!
-[exclaims] -[grunts]
-Freckles! -[panting]
Yes?
Oh. Right! Coming!
Sorry about that.
But now I am focused and ready
to prove I can be on the K-9 Team.
Good, because someone just dropped something.
You know what to do.
Ooh, hello!
You don't look happy.
You look like you need a puppy kiss! [slurps]
Uh, Freckles, he's not happy because he dropped something, remember?
Excuse me, sir, you dropped this.
Wanna play fetch?
Aww, Freckles...
Uh-oh. I messed up, didn't I?
That's okay. Let's try it again.
Freckles, it isn't easy to get into the K-Academy.
You have to pay close attention to your training.
[chuckles] Okay, those last two mess-ups were definitely my fault.
But this time, I'm on it. Puppy promise!
That's the spirit! Because you've got a teddy bear to save.
[train whistles]
On your mark, get set... go!
[panting] Ooh, I love racing!
[ball bouncing]
Ball!
Wait! The teddy bear's in trouble!
[train whistles]
Phew! Aw, there, there, Samantha.
I'd never let anything happen to you.
-[whimpers] -Huh. This is not going like I'd hoped.
I guess whatever's over there is more important to him than Samantha.
Samantha?
Um, I mean, joining the K-9 Team.
-Wonder what's beyond that fence? -It looks like there's a girl
-on the playground bouncing a ball. -[giggles]
That must be it. He's distracted by the bouncing ball.
If we can just keep Freckles from getting distracted,
he should be able to finish the course
and make the K-Academy his home!
This will make sure you can't see anything
except the obstacle course in front of you.
[Freckles] Uh, okay.
And these will make sure you don't hear any distractions either.
What? I can't hear you!
It works!
You really think if I use this stuff,
I'll get a home?
-I sure hope so. -What?
She said she hopes so!
What? She said go? Okay! [grunts]
Well, that works too.
[Freckles] I'm gonna do it this time.
I'm gonna finish this obstacle course.
[grunts]
Then I can join the K-9 Team,
and this will be my home!
Come on... you're almost there...
I'm doing it! I'm doing it! I'll finish the course and get a home!
It's working! He didn't notice her!
[laughs]
[gasps, grunts]
[gasps] Ball!
-[struggles] -No!
[yaps]
[squeals] Samantha! [grunts]
Freckles, stop! You're so close to finishing the course!
I got it! I got it!
-[train whistle blows] -[toy squeaks]
Thank goodness you're all right.
[grunts] I did it! Didja see? Didja see?
I...
Uh-oh.
Freckles, I thought if we got rid of your distractions,
you'd be able to focus on training.
I'm sorry. I really tried.
Don't worry. We can always try again.
Right, Captain Tully?
But there will always be things to distract him.
Oh. And... if I get distracted...
You won't finish the course. Which means...
Which means... I can't join the K-9 Team.
Freckles, wait!
Freckles? Freckles!
Captain Tully, do you see him?
Captain Tully?
What's the matter?
I've really let him down.
I just can't seem to help him do what he needs to do.
I'm sure you'll find a way. You always do for us.
Even me. And I am no picnic.
Guys. Captain Tully. I think you need to see this.
-[girl] Oh! [sniffles] Ow... [sniffles] -[children chatter]
She tripped over her shoelaces and skinned her knee.
Oh no! But what does this have to do with Freckles?
Well, look!
[girl sniffles] Ow! [pants]
[giggles]
-Aww. [giggling] -[Freckles sighs]
Maybe he will find a home, just not the home we thought.
Freckles! Over here!
Captain Tully. I'm so sorry I ran off!
Please don't give up on me, I really want to find a home.
Freckles, I think you can find a home, but maybe not the same way I did.
The second I arrived at the K-9 Academy, I knew I'd found my home.
I felt happy. Comfortable. I felt loved.
That's just how you looked when you were helping that girl.
I think you just found your own home on the other side of that fence.
Go be with her, Freckles.
[gasps]
[barking]
[girl gasps] Oh, you did it! Oh, yeah! [giggles]
Oh, he looks good. Look at him play. He's so happy.
Oh, oh, there he goes! [laughs]
Yeah, Freckles!
Aw. Isn't that sweet, Samantha?
We did good, Squad.
-Go team! -[yapping]
-[pants] -[girl giggles]
Captain Tully! Captain Tully!
Check out my new collar!
And these are my adoption tags. Listen!
[tags jingle]
That girl adopted me yesterday,
which means I'm part of her family now,
and I have a home!
Feathertastic!
We're so happy for you, Freckles.
I couldn't have done it without all of you.
Especially you, Captain Tully.
Thank you for helping me find my home.
I'm just glad you found a place that's right for you.
[girl] Freckles!
Gotta go. Bye, Captain Tully! Bye, Chicken Squad!
Okay, Squad. Now, who's ready to finally do
our advanced Skills and Drills training?
-I am! -Me too!
Come on, Samantha!
[Sweetie] "Sweetie undercover."
What's your status, Sweetie? Over.
Hangin' in there!... Rover.
It's over. Not rover...
When critters use radio code,
they say "over" at the end of a message. Roger that?
Who's Roger?
"Roger" means you understood the message.
Let's keep practicing with the walkie-squawkies.
Whoa, what's that?
[Gilroy] Oh!
Hi, Gilroy!
Oh! Chicken Squad!
I have something to report.
What's going on?
It's those two raccoons,
[stammers] Snick and Wheeze.
They asked me to dig them a tunnel.
They wouldn't tell me why,
but they were giggling about planning a big heist.
That sounds fun! Is a "heist" a party?
A "heist" is a plan to steal something valuable.
[gasps] That's the opposite of a party.
We better find out what Snick and Wheeze are up to.
Where are you going?
To politely ask Snick and Wheeze what they're planning.
But we're the Chicken Squad.
They're not just going to tell us if they're about to do something bad.
Yeah, they know we'll try and stop them.
So then how do we find out what they're up to?
Captain Tully will know what to do!
Thanks for the information, Gilroy. We'll take it from here.
Good luck!
Hmm, to find out what Snick and Wheeze are planning to take,
you could try using one of my favorite K-9 Team strategies.
You want us to throw a costume party?
No, those are my disguises.
I used them when I was going undercover.
What's "going undercover"?
It's when you pretend to be someone else
so you can blend in with whoever you're trying to investigate.
If a critter thinks you will help them,
they might tell you what they're going to take.
That way you can stop them.
Neat! But what should we go undercover as?
It has to be someone Snick and Wheeze think can help them.
-They thought Gilroy could help. -Right!
Because they wanted a groundhog like him to dig a tunnel.
One of us should go undercover as a groundhog!
Okay. But who's as tall as a groundhog? Or as strong?
Do we know anyone?
Why's everyone looking at me?
You're strong and tall. You'd be perfect!
But Snick and Wheeze wanted a groundhog who would help them steal.
I would never help someone steal.
You'll only be pretending to help them so they'll tell you their plan
and we can stop them from stealing.
Oh. Well... Okay!
I'll go undercover and pretend to be mean and tough!
Then we have our charge for the day--
Put Sweetie undercover to stop Snick and Wheeze!

For the first part of your undercover training,
I'll teach you how to scowl and growl
just like the supervillains in my books.
Let's practice.
[growls]
Grr. Eep! Is that too mean?
I finished making the first part of Sweetie's groundhog disguise.
Melon ball scoopers!
Genius idea, this way Sweetie can scoop melon balls for--
Wait, why would she need to do that?
Sweetie needs scoopers so she can dig tunnels like a groundhog
who's trying to take stuff.
Right. Dig tunnels. Take stuff. Got it.
Every supervillain in my books has an evil laugh,
which means you need one too. Like this...
[clears throat]
[evil laugh] Give it a try.
[clears throat, giggles] I think I'm getting it!
The costume is ready. Come try it on!
Who knew a supervillain could be so cute?
Look at my fuzzy ears!
At least she looks like a groundhog.
But she still acts like a Sweetie.
[giggles]
I don't know if she can pretend to be mean and tough enough
to find out what Snick and Wheeze are trying to take.
[snickers]
Look! It's Snick and Wheeze.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -[Sweetie] Gilroy was right,
-they're digging a tunnel. -[chuckles]
They might be on their way to steal something.
We have to stop them!
Ooh, Mom made seed cookies for our snack today!
We don't have time for snacks.
Sweetie's gotta go undercover.
Sweetie? You need to get going!
It's just... [sighs] what if I accidentally act sweet?
I wish you could be there to help me act mean and tough.
I already thought of that. Check it out!
I hid a mini walkie-squawkie in your disguise.
We'll be able to talk to you the whole time.
And help you act like a mean and tough groundhog. Roger?
Roger that. I'll be the meanest and toughest groundhog ever.
I promise. Excuse me, please. Thank you.
[sighs] I sure hope this works.
[snickers]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
From up here, we can watch everything with our bagawkulars.
[groans] Digging is hard.
You haven't even picked up your shovel yet.
I'm watching you, and it looks exhausting.
-Hi! -Ah!
Want some help with that?
Nothing to see here.
Keep on walking.
Oh, I love taking long walks!
Ah! You have to sound mean!
Um. I mean. Walks are for babies. But babies are cute.
[Little Boo] Sweetie! Meaner! Meaner!
[Sweetie] Um, I mean... My name's Swee...
Do not say your real name! Do! Not!
...eet-- Not. Yeah! Sweet-Not.
I'm a famous supervillain. And definitely not sweet.
I'm mean and tough. [growls]
Huh. Never heard of you. Now scoot!
[Coop] Remember your scooper gloves! Over.
Um... I also love digging holes.
-Hmm. -Digging holes, you say?
What about tunnels?
[Coop] Say you're the best at digging tunnels!
You're the best at digging tunnels.
Oh, I mean, I'm the best.
A groundhog could really help us.
You know. With that thing we're planning.
Oh, you mean the heist?
I love heists. And not the party kind.
Hi!
Oh, this is much faster than our shovels.
Now, nobody can stop us.
[evil laugh]
Oh, I love a good evil laugh. [evil laugh]
Me too! [giggles]
Hmm. That's a strangely cute evil laugh.
-Don't be cute! -[radio feedback]
Ahh!
Not exactly a laugh...
But definitely evil.
That's me! But your evil laughs were amazing too.
Well, you'll get to hear my amazing laugh again
once we finally take those cookies.
C'mon, we're almost there!
So that's that what they're trying to take. Cookies!
[Coop] Sweetie, status report!
Sweetie? Come in. Over.
Are you there? Sweetie?
I gotta say, Sweet-Not,
you've been a real help. You're one of us now.
I am? I mean... uh, yes!
And since I'm one of you,
why don't you tell me more about the heist we're doing today?
We're digging a tunnel to the human house!
Yeah. They made cookies inside and we want them for ourselves.
[gasps] But those poor humans!
They'll be so sad when their cookies are gone.
Are you sure you're a mean groundhog who steals things?
'Course I am! I'm not nice.
So not nice
that I love taking cookies that aren't mine.
Let's go get them!
[whispers] A little help here! Coop? Boo?
Ah! My mini walkie-squawkie is gone!
Sweetie! Are you there? Over.
What if Snick and Wheeze realize she's actually a chicken?
She'd be in real trouble. Bagawk!
We gotta get down there!
Hey, how come you quit tunneling?
I just need [gasps] to find something!
[gasps] Did you take that cookie from the human house?
I... Uh... Do you wanna share it?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. -[struggling]
Ooh! Mmm! [giggles] Yum.
I'm so happy. I could almost say...
th-- tha-- thaaaaa--
Thaaaaa--
-Thank you? -Oh, you're welcome.
You know, there's an easier way to get cookies
than digging a tunnel all day.
-There is? -There is?
There's a nice, uh, chicken family who bakes them.
Oh, so we should steal from them.
Actually, they could teach you to bake your own cookies.
Then you wouldn't need to dig a tunnel or steal.
Eh, I dunno. Baking cookies sounds like a lot of work.
So is digging a tunnel.
If you learn to bake,
you can make as many cookies as you want,
anytime you want.
Well, what're we waiting for? Let's go bake some cookies!
Like the supervillains we are.
You better watch out for these chickens, Sweet-Not.
We know 'em. They're pretty... nice. [shudders]
Especially their sister.
[giggles]
Snick. Wheeze.
Miss, uh, Groundhog. Everything okay?
Grade-A OK! But my new friends want to learn how to bake--
Cookies! Lots and lots of cookies!
Can you teach us?
Oh! Um... Of course we can. We just need our sister first.
I'll go get her.
It was nice working with you, fellow supervillains.
Did someone need a baking lesson?
Oh, boy, am I stuffed.
I don't even want to steal from those humans anymore.
Yeah! Who needs 'em? We can make our own cookies now.
That calls for an evil laugh.
[evil laugh]
[clears throat, evil laugh]
[giggles]
Hey, you sounded just like our friend, Sweet-Not.
But other than the laugh,
you two are totally different. [laughs]
Phew! Anyone want some melon scoops?
Melon scoops?
We sure do want melon scoops!
-[laughs] -[all laugh]
