[Narrator]
Lost and found.
[Dad]
Okay, Caillou, remember what I told you! Keep your eyes on the ball.
[Caillou]
I got it!
[Dad]
That's okay. Just take your time.
[Caillou]
Hey! Gimme my ball! Come back! Daddy, help! He's got my ball.
[Dad]
Gotcha. He has a collar, so he must belong to someone. Well, we've looked a long time and no one seems to know whose dog this is.
[Caillou]
He's all alone?
[Dad]
He must be lost. He's a scruffy little guy, isn't he?
[Caillou]
Scruffy? We could call him Scruffy. Oh, could I keep him, Daddy? Please?
[Dad]
I'm sorry, Caillou, but this dog probably belongs to someone who misses him very much.
[Caillou]
Huh?
[Dad]
I'll tell you what, though. We can help find his owner. How's that?
[Mom]
Okay.
[Narrator]
Caillou was sad. He wanted to keep the dog all to himself.
[Dad]
Hello? Anybody home?
[Mom]
Who's this?
[Caillou]
I found him. His name is Scruffy.
[Dad]
He was lost in the park. I thought we could help find his owner.
[Mom]
Hmm.
[Caillou]
Scruffy, no! Stop! Doggy!
[Mom]
What a mess. Why don't you two take him outside and clean him up?
[Dad]
Time to rinse him off.
[Narrator]
It was time to look for Scruffy's owner, so Daddy decided to take his picture to put on a poster.
[Caillou]
Smile, Scruffy!
[Dad]
Perfect! Now we just have to make copies and buy some dog food on our way home.
[Caillou]
What if no one calls daddy? Can I keep him?
[Dad]
We'll see. Taking care of a dog is a big job.
[Mom]
Hello? Yes? Uh-huh. That's him. Great. See you then. That was Scruffy's owner. She saw your poster and is coming over to pick him up.
[Little Girl]
Rocky!
[Woman]
She's been so sad since we lost Rocky. I'm so glad you found him.
[Mom]
It was Caillou who found him, right, Caillou?
[Little Girl]
Do you have a dog?
[Caillou]
No, but I have a cat. His name is Gilbert.
[Little Girl]
Really? You're lucky. I wanted a cat too, but my dad is allergic.
[Woman]
Time to go, sweetie.
[Little Girl]
I'm so happy you found him. Thanks for taking care of Rocky for me.
[Narrator]
Even though Caillou was sad that Scruffy was leaving. He was very proud that he had helped.
[Group]
Bye. Bye.
[Caillou]
Gilbert.
