it before I let Brandon use it.

I would have never lent you my imported almond cream rinse if I knew you were

going to use it on a lower life form.

Sorry, Margo, I didn't see the warning label for snobs.

$60 a week?

Yeah.

I'll be happy if I get $60 in my lifetime.

Hold still, Ben, while I give you a shot of this deodorant.

Brandon could possibly be.

Alley's parking lot.

Dumb.

You must have been someplace we haven't looked.

Hunky, we've looked everywhere.

And I've got the holes in my Ferragamo's to prove it.

Did anybody check Clarence Street?

I did.

Several times.

And I got the holes in my hush puppies to prove it.

Ixnay on the yuppie pay.

Sorry, but my dogs are killing me.

I'd love to look some more.

But it's very, very late.

We have to get some sleep.

We have to look for Brandon.

Honey, I'll be back in the morning with bright eyes and roller skates.

Come on, Marco. I'll take you home.

Hunky, I'll help you look tomorrow, too.

But I'll be doing it from the back seat of our town car.

tomorrow. Thanks, Betty.

We'll find him.

Hello,

I'm Mr.

Abbott.

Sorry to wake you up, sir.

My name's Punky Brewster, and I'm looking for my dog, Brandon. Have you

him?

Of course not.

Hello, Mr. Abelman.

Hi, my name's Punky Brewster, and I'm looking for my dog...

Frankie, who on earth are you calling at this time of night?

Hello, Mr. Abernathy. Please don't hang up. I'm looking for my... Boy, these A

people are rude.

That's not the way to find Brandon. Get off that frog.

Henry, I was just kidding myself when I said that Brandon might be at the drive

-in.

Security might really be lost.

Well... That's possible.

He's out there alone, scared, hungry, cold.

Well, now, Brandon's a very smart dog. He can take care of himself. In fact, I

wouldn't be a bit surprised if tomorrow morning he was scratching at the door.

If he is, I'm going to hug him and kiss him, and then I'm going to kill him.

You're beginning to understand what it's like to be a parent.

What if he's not back tomorrow morning?

Then what?

Well, one of our options is to check with the animal shelter.

Maybe he hitched a ride there.

Yeah, I bet he did. Right now. Come on. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold it.

The animal shelter is long closed for the evening. We'll call him tomorrow

morning. Right now.

I'd like you to get some sleep.

I don't think I can.

Well, at least try.

Okay?

Henry? Yes?

Can you turn on Brandon's push light? I want to keep it burning until he gets

home.

I certainly will.

Thanks, Henry. Good night.

Good night, sweetheart.

Hello, God?

Sorry to call so late.

I need your help.

Brandon's lost.

Please.

Please bring him back to me.

Thank you.

Hello,

Buddha?

Sorry it cost so much.

I need your help.

Okay, boy.

You're leading ten to nine.

But you have to win by two.

Ready?

What was that noise, son?

What noise?

It sounded like a dog bark.

Oh.

That must have been me.

I was having a terrible nightmare.

An evil magician turned me into a dog.

First, I was hunting for ducks.

on the David Letterman show, trying to do a stupid pet trick.

They had me barking the Star Spangled Banner.

Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff.

Joe. Yeah?

Where's the dog?

In the closet.

Joey, what is this dog doing in your bedroom?

Uh, the Pledge of Allegiance.

this afternoon at the park.

I go for a jumper, and out of nowhere, out comes this paw blocking my shot.

Whoa. A Larry Bird dog.

Larry Bird.

Stealthy. Tall guy.

Then what happened, son?

Me and the dog got along great together.

He didn't have any tags, so I brought him home.

Can I keep him, please?

Well, it's okay by me, but... Michael!

know Joey's not going to take proper care of him? Sure, he will.

He probably has fleas.

Nah, Joe's a clean kid.

A little humor.

Very little. Come on, Donna, this is a great dog.

Even wears the same aftershave I do.

And what about the food bill? He's going to eat us out of house and home.

Look on the bright side, we'll finally have someone willing to eat your

meatloaf.

every boy needs a dog.

I think it's in the Bill of Rights.

That's right, Brandon Brewster.

How soon can you get this out of the paper?

Tomorrow will be great.

Hold on.

Henry, the paper man needs to know how much reward we're offering.

Reward?

Uh... Is $8 ,000 enough?

I think it's best to leave it to their imagination.

After all, Brandon is priceless.

Right.

Hello, sir?

Just say reward.

That way we can go over $8 ,000.

Thanks a lot.

Goodbye.

Henry, you must be hungry.

I noticed you were eating a poster.

Well, I am feeling a little shaky.

I'll go and whip us up something to eat.

Oh, and Henry, thanks for making these pictures.

I know how expensive they are.

Hey, you know how I feel about Brandon.

He's family.

Okay, we're putting an ad in the paper. We're hanging up pictures in all the

stores. This afternoon, we're going to the mall to put flyers in people's

windshields.

There's got to be something else we can do.

Fonky?

Yes?

Brandon's been gone a long time.

days and six hours.

Have you been able to sleep?

Nope. Meaning?

Trey, what's wrong?

I'm so sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

It's all my fault.

No, it isn't.

I left the door open because you were all excited about Lee's checkup.

that Brandon's lost because she left the door open.

Well, she didn't do it on purpose.

It was an accident.

I know I told her that, but it didn't help.

I hate to see Cherry upset, but I'm so worried about Brandon that

there's not enough room to worry about Cherry, too.

No, honey.

That makes you a normal person.

But I am getting a little worried about you girls.

You are?

Mm -hmm.

Now, I know you love Brandon, but he's a pet.

And people would pet that face the fact that they could get lost.

I know, but he's not just a pet.

It's more important than that to me.

All I have from... Before.

Before what?

Before my mom left me.

Everyone I've ever loved has left me.

Punky, we all love you. And none of us are going anywhere.

Thanks. I'd sure feel a lot better if you all started carrying beepers.

Can we take a one -minute hug break?

Sure.

Oh, come on, dude.

You gotta eat.

Here comes the airplane heading for the hangar.

Nice. Got a ring to it.

So he's still not eating, huh?

No.

Think he could be sick?

Not if that says he's in great shape.

Listen up, dude.

It's like you got a chow down guy because, like, there's this hot -looking

Airedale down the block.

I mean, I'm talking hubba hubba, dude.

And, like, she's panting about you.

I mean like cowabunga, dude.

So take it from me, pal. You are gonna need your strength.

Well, struck out there.

What else you got?

Zip.

Look, if we leave his food here, I'll leave when he's hungry.

Right now, I want you to hit the sack.

But, Dad, I'm worried about dear.

Ah, he's fine. He just needs the time to get used to us.

Are you sure that's all it is?

Absolutely positive.

Night, champ.

Night, Dad.

Airedale.

Hey, almost forgot the good news. My boss okayed the transfer to California.

A week from now, we'll be bagging rays and hanging ten.

All right, that is good news.

Sleep tight.

Thank you.
