Arthur’s New Puppy
Arthur gets a new puppy, something he has always wanted. He and his family are all surprised to find out that Pal isn’t the greatest puppy. He tears the house apart, hides the garage key, wets on everything, and refuses to wear a leash. Arthur’s father makes Pal stay in the garage but Arthur tells his father not to worry because he would train Pal. It takes a lot of work, but Arthur eventually gets Pal trained. Arthur did not realize that his decision to have a puppy would have future consequences and costs.
