Summary
Arthur gets a puppy and names him Pal, but training his pet turns out to be much harder than he had imagined.
Plot
In the intro, Arthur is playing with his new puppy. He tells the viewers he never got the chance to name him. He said it had to be just right for the puppy because a name for him can effect the way he thinks of himself and how he will grow up. He thoughts of names like Champion, Bionic Puppy, but won't name the dog after his friends like Buster, Francine, and definitely not Binky. So he chooses on the name Pal.
Soon they went into the kitchen and D.W. is there getting a drink. She see Arthur writing Pal's name on his bowl. She suggest that Arthur should name Pal "Fredrick" because looks like one. Arthur doesn't like that name, and said that Pal likes his name and to prove it, he calls his puppy. Pal runs to Arthur, but only to go to his bowl. D.W. thinks Pal isn't very smart, but Arthur say that Pal is a genius and D.W. comments he hides it very well. Arthur said he is once Pal is trained soon, which D.W. said she will be in college by then and bets Arthur a million dollars. Pal goes to the living room, and Jane calls Arthur from the living room saying the rug is getting wet. Arthur quickly grabs Pal to go outside and D.W. follows along asking if Arthur would like to bet 12 million dollars.
Arthur is outside taking Pal on a walk. He soon see Francine on her bike and they greet each other. He tells her that he named the puppy Pal. Francine said he looks more like a Steve, but Arthur doesn't think so. Pal began to chew on his leash and Francine asks Arthur if does Pal does anything besides that. Arthur said not yet but will teach Pal some tricks soon, but for now he's just house-training him. Francine advises Arthur to train Pal quick because her cousin had a dog she couldn't train; and her parents made the dog go live on the farm, which scares Arthur a little, and Pal bit Francine's wheel.
Arthur takes Pal back inside and D.W. says that Pal's not smart. Then Arthur's dad calls him to get Pal. D.W. then says that he should be called Puddles. Later, he tries to train Pal, but it didn't go well. Later, Arthur asks to let Pal stay in the house. Once inside, Pal goes inside D.W.'s room and takes one of her shoes. Later, Pal howls causing everyone to wake up and Arthur to stay with Pal. After Arthur falls asleep, Pal wrecks the living room to everyone's horror. The next day, Arthur tells Francine and Buster, who explains that his puppy was sent away to Arthur's horror.
Later, Arthur's parents tell him that Pal will live in the garage, but Arthur protests, saying he'll be trained in no time. Later, Pal ruins Dad's party platter to Dad's horror. So Arthur trains Pal and he doesn't have to live in the farm and he found the garage key and licks D.W., finishing the episode.
