Episode: Young Dalmatian was full of energy and jumping on the bleachers and kids. Owner still apologized for dog, but was more casual in her response. Her relationship with Zeba was playful and relaxed, with less discipline. "If you don't love me then you should“

The man was eating a hotdog and his dog was sitting down intently looking at the man looking hungry. The man flipped the hot dog let the dog bite it in the same spot. Then he took another bite behind the dog. I said Hotdog!
