[dramatic music]

[dogs whimper]

Well, this batch is looking good.

Good? They're deformed.

They're not Malamutes.

They're Mala-mutants

Ah, who cares about quality?

I'm breeding for quantity.

I've genetically engineered these brood dogs

to make bigger litters faster.

Puppies by the millions.

[growling]

Now, these are perfect specimens.

Wrong, Dr. Franken Blight.

On the surface, they look fine.

But my scanner shows their internal organs

‘are a frightful mess.’

Who cares, some bumpkin

will buy them before any illness shows up.

Ouch!

Hmm, friendly little nippers, aren't they?

They'll make perfect guard dogs.

Huh, speaking of guard dogs

how about feeding yours once in a while?

They can always take a couple of bites

out of a smart-mouth computer.

[instrumental music]

[dogs whimper]

(Blight) ‘Oh, Slasher, Lasher.’

Mommy's here.

[growling]

(Blight) ‘Want some yummies?'

[growling]

[laughs]

Dumb animals!

[growling]

(Blight) Aah!

Oops. Doggy got loose.

Back off, bow-wow.

[whimpering]

Your electric-collar invention works shockingly well.

Mm, now to check on my puppy production line.

Ten puppies, 14 puppies, 15.

- One? - News flash, Doctor Dearest.

Not all your guinea-dogs

are popping out multiple mongrels.

Well, then she can starve like the other non-producers.

What about the pup?

Toss it inside, and I'll use it

later in one of my experiments.

Hmm, she's cold.

[whimpers]

[whizzes]

[somber music]

[sniffling]

(Captain Planet) We're here to say goodbye to

a dear friend and faithful companion.

‘You will be sorely missed.’

You were a great dog, Skippy.

I'm sure sorry, Cuz.

He was only, he was only 6 months old.

| can't believe this happened while his folks are away.

You did everything you could, Wheeler.

The vet said Skippy had birth defects.

Yeah, well, I'm taking Joey

to get another pup, if he's ready.

We'll come along.

Hang in there, Joey. The power is yours.

(Wheeler) Look at all the cute pups.

[animals squeal]

[door closes]

These puppies seem too young to be away from their mothers.

- Can | help you? - Yeah.

My cousin got a boxer pup here recently.

He died.

I'm really sorry.

To tell the truth, we sell a lot of sick dogs

I'll help these people, Ms. Sanders.

Too bad about your puppy.

So what are you gonna do about it?

There are no guarantees with living things.

That's it, after we spent a fortune on vet bills?

I'd be happy to replace the animal.

But | don't have any boxers now.

So if you'll excuse me..

Hey! We're not finished.

He doesn't care.

I'll catch you at home.

Don't worry, Joey. We'll find you a new pup.

[dogs whimper]

Where do you get your puppies?

Um, uh, many, uh, different breeders.

Uh, excuse me.

Yeah, that guy's one big "Excuse me."

[dramatic music]

[dogs whimper]

- Yeah, yeah. It's a dog's life. - Tell your boss.

That last shipment had too many sick puppies.

(male #1) ‘We give you replacements for the dogs'

that bite it, besides..

...you get what you pay for.

"Puppy-z by the Millions?"

| bet that's where Skippy came from.

(Wheeler) I've handled eco-creeps and toxic spills

but | can't keep track of a 10-year-old kid.

[instrumental music]

He wasn't at the Mall.

[sighs] Where is he?

[vehicle rumbles]

(male #2) ‘Almost there, son.'

Oh, thanks.

[brakes hiss]

The place you're looking for is just down the dirt road.

[revs]

Take it easy, Wheeler.

A boy fitting Joey's description

bought a ticket to a town 50 miles south of here.

Why would he run away?

The man at the station said

they raise lots of dogs out there.

A new Skippy.

[suspenseful music]

[dogs whimper]

This is gross.

Poor pups.

| gotta do something.

[dog growls]

Freeze, puppy-napper

or my little darling will rip you apart.

[puppies whimper]

Gotcha. Ugh! Oh!

Sic 'em!

[snarling]

[Joey panting]

(Joey) Aah!

[growls]

[dramatic music]

Oooh!

(Blight) ‘Nice of you to drop in.’

Seal it, Mal.

[whirrs]

Let me, let me out! Come on!

Slasher, Lasher, feeding time.

[both growl]

[grunts]

I'll be back..

...when they're fighting over the bones.

[Blight laughs]

[growls]

You guys are starving.

Good thing | brought along some snacks.

[laughs]

[dog whimpers]

Hey. Who are you?

It's okay.

I'll bet you're hungry, too.

[somber music]

You're a real lady.

Hey, that's what I'll call you. Lady.

(female #1) ‘Sorry, | haven't seen your cousin.'

But if he got his puppy from a pet store

it most likely came from one of the puppy mills around here.

What's a puppy mill?

Puppy mills are basically

puppy factories that supply pet shops.

The owners treat dogs as a cash crop.

Don't you sell the pet stores too?

Oh, no.

And most reputable kennels won't.

Why not?

Because we want to be sure

our pups get good homes

so they don't end up abandoned.

It's sad, but animal shelters destroy

millions of homeless dogs and cats a year.

Millions? Bohze moi!

[insects chirp]

[engine whirrs]

[dogs bark]

Yuck, | never smelled so much dog--

- Hold it right there! - Easy, we're just trying to--

Get off my property, now!

| think those gentlemen are hiding something.

Yeah. Like, Joey.

| said get..

Easy, Wheeler, we'll come back later

and have a look around.

[shivering]

Man, it's cold. Come here, pups.

How am | ever gonna get you guys out of here?

[dogs bark]

- Uh-oh. - Heart.

[whimpering]

Oh.

[instrumental music]

This is criminal.

That lady said puppy mills were inhumane.

But it's worse than | ever imagined.

Dang snooping kids, I'll get rid of 'em.

[music continues]

You hold it right there and keep quiet.

If you're looking to shut this place down

I'm already working on it.

I'm with the Humane Society.

Wow! An undercover agent, hey, do you--

Wheeler. Joey.

Oh, yeah, we're just looking for my cousin.

We think he's at one of these puppy mills.

Not here, but if you'll keep an eye out while |

gather evidence maybe | can help you track him down.

No problem.

[dog barking]

This dog looks too young to be a mother.

Puppy mills start breeding the females at 6 months.

They're still puppies themselves.

They breed them every heat until they're too sick to continue.

(Gi) "Then they're retired?’

(male #3) ‘Permanently, they're destroyed.’

Some way to treat man's best friend.

Why are these puppy mills permitted to stay in business?

(male #3) "You shut one down, another reopens. '

How can this cruelty be stopped?

If people stop buying their dogs from pet shops

the puppy mills will go out of business.

So we should get them

from a responsible breeder like we met today?

That's good, but the best place is your local animal shelter.

Psst! Trouble.

| warned you to get!

Here darn kids, just stay out of here!

| told you to go, and | meant it!

This is for the poor puppy dogs.

Wind!

[dramatic music]

I'll get them, boss!

[dogs whimper]

(MAL) ‘Oh, looky.’

He turned your Rottweilers into rot-weenies.

We'll see about that.

Stop! You're hurting them! Ah!

(Blight) That's the idea, genius.

Get out here.

[growls]

Shh, Lady! Not now.

Turn sweet on me, will you?

Sorry to interrupt play time with the pups.

‘But we have more uninvited guests, the poope-teers.'

- Wheeler! - My, my.

Doggy boy appears to know flame head.

You can help me give the eco-snoops

a special welcome.

Let me go!

[snarls]

Give it up. Lassie you're not.

[growling]

(Wheeler) Man, this is the fourth puppy mill we've been to.

Da. And each one is more horrible than the last.

(male #3) ‘This is plenty bad.'

‘Oh, these animals look like something out of 101 mutations.’

(Blight) You think I'm cruel to animals, huh?

Wait till you see what | do to people.

(all) Dr. Blight!

Wanna toast your friend here, fire freak?

Ooh, | wouldn't want to miss

the eco-chewies going to the dogs.

Slasher, Lasher, attack.

No. Stop. They're friends.

[whimper]

Attack, you miserable mutts!

[dramatic music]

No!

[both growl]

Sic them or fry.

[electricity crackles]

Ugh!

- 'Lady!' - Get the cops.

We'll handle this.

Wind!

No fair! Stop them!

[both growl]

(Wheeler) Whoa, nice doggies.

[dogs bark & growl]

Got it. Now she can't hurt you.

[whimper]

Ooh! But | can.

I'll just over-ride that little box and take charge.

[whizzes]

Now attack those eco-intruders.

[snarling]

- Easy, now. Joey. - No!

It's alright. We'll help you.

Give them all you got, Mal-ikins.

[whirrs]

Easy.

[snarling]

Oh, no!

Uh, nice, Slashy.

Nice, Lashy.

Get away! Bad doggies!

[dogs growling]

Time for plan B, MAL.

Destroy the evidence now!

(MAL) Hot dog. Mm...literally.

[dogs bark]

[dogs whimper]

(Blight) Move it, MAL, baby. Whoa!

Ah! the animals!

[dramatic music]

Easy, Lady. You'll be okay.

Water!

The fire, it's spreading too fast!

Then we must let our powers combine. Earth.

Fire.

Wind.

Water.

Heart.

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

What kind of coldhearted beast imprisons pets?

Dr. Blight, of course.

[whimpering]

You keep springing the spaniels, Planeteers.

Mistreating animals really gets me hot under the collar.

[dramatic music]

Easy, Lady.

[barks]

Lady, wait! Stop!

[barks]

[whimpers]

Wow. Your puppy.

[coughs]

Let's get out of here.

[Joey coughing]

[whimpers]

[fire crackling]

Joey! Joey!

| said it before, and I'll say it again.

Smoking can kill you.

Don't try this at home, kids.

[dogs bark]

[coughs]

It would be a doggone shame if the dogs were all gone.

Hey, calm down, my canine compadres.

You're safe now.

Joey, am | glad to see you.

Thanks, Wheeler.

| just wish that witch hadn't gotten away.

Actually, | think old Blight's in the dog house.

[dogs growling]

Watch it! Aah!

MAL, do something!

Hey, it's a dog-eat-dog world.

Ahh! | never thought I'd be happy to see the law.

Shut the door!

What? And abandon your pets?

[Blight grunts]

[tires screeching]

[instrumental music]

[dogs whimpering]

What's gonna happen to all the dogs?

Some of them are very sick.

‘They may have to be put down. '

[barks]

Wait! Don't take Lady!

Please, you've got to let me have Lady and her pup.

(male #3) ‘Sorry, son.’

'The shelter has to check them out first.’

[engine revs]

We've been through three times.

Just one more, please.

Lady and her pup have got to be there.

Joey, they told us if she wasn't here, then they had to..

[tires screech]

Hey, Joey. I'm sorry.

| thought I'd catch you before you got here.

It wouldn't have made a difference.

| think it would have.

[barks]

Lady, pup! You made it!

[laughs]

Slasher and Lasher made it, too.

I'm taking them.

[whimpers]

Alright. Hey, come on. Cut it out, cut it out.

The best place to get a pet is at your local animal shelter.

They have a lots of great dogs and pets.

Unfortunately shelters are often forced to destroy

healthy animals because they cannot find homes for them.

No matter where you get your dog or cat

be sure to have them vaccinated, spayed or neutered.

Owning a pet is a big responsibility.

But if you care for your animal properly

it'll be a loving and loyal friend.

The power to protect pets is yours!

[barks]

Earth.

- Fire. - Wind.

- Water. - Heart.

(all) Go planet!
