In "[[Arthur's Pet Business]]", | In "[[Arthur's Pet Business]]", Arthur watched many animals including [[Mrs. Wood]]'s dog, [[Perky]]. Mrs. Wood had a list that he needed to abide by for Perky to be happy, such as brushing her 100 times. When Mrs. Wood was about to pick up Perky Arthur believed that he had lost her, but she was actually giving birth to be a litter of puppies behind one of The Reads' chairs. Mrs. Wood lets Arthur pick Pal out of the litter because he was a good petsitter. | ||

When he was a couple of weeks old, he was easily excited and not housetrained. He bit his leash and popped the tire of [[Francine Frensky|Francine]]'s bike with his teeth. Because of doing these things Arthur's parents gave him the options that Pal will either stay in the garage or be sent away until he was housetrained, both of which were to Arthur's objections. However, Arthur spent a lot of time training him and he has since then learned to become a fairly-intelligent dog. He only knows basic tricks, such as sit, and Arthur failed to teach him more complex orders. | When he was a couple of weeks old, he was easily excited and not housetrained.
