"Arthur's Lost Dog" is the second half of the twelfth episode in the first season of Arthur. It was later adapted into the book Arthur's Lost Puppy.
Summary
When Pal runs away at a street fair, even Arthur starts to doubt his dog's intelligence.
Plot
The episode opens with Arthur pouring orange juice into a glass. Meanwhile, D.W. looks at Pal's eyes and says that he is dumb. Arthur says that any dog that does old tricks, like him, is very smart. D.W. doesn't think so. She then commands him to roll over while holding a dog treat in her hand. However, he will not respond. While she proves to Arthur that he is dumb, he goes after the dog treats. In the living room, Arthur picks up his Doggie Care book and reads it. D.W. also says to him that Pal can't even get a treat. This time she commands him to sit up. Again, he doesn't respond. Arthur then laughs and states to her that he's not as smart as her. Pal then burps after eating the dog treats.
We now see a street fair being held in the center of Elwood City. Arthur, Buster, D.W., Pal, Jane, David, and Kate all attend it. They walk around at many of the sales and stands, such as the pickle guessing stand and the free jokes stand in front of Jack's Joke Shop. After hearing about the free jokes, Arthur chooses to take one. Unfortunately, the joke that the jokester told them really wasn't that funny. Meanwhile, at the bank, one of the employees announces that there are free giveaways inside the bank and a crowd of people rushes over to see what they are. They really are free pencils. This angers the crowd, so they walk off.
Buster is at a pizza stand buying a slice. Meanwhile, Arthur and David are sitting on a bench while Kate, in her stroller, is petting Pal. Then Pickles walks by with free balloons. Kate wants one, but he walks away, then she starts crying. David tries to comfort her with her pacifier, but that doesn't work. Arthur tries to give her her bunny, but that fails too. Buster makes an attempt for her to eat his pizza, but that idea also fails. As she is having a tantrum, she knocks it to the ground. D.W. gets a balloon from Pickles. Pal wants to see it, but Arthur holds him back. Kate finally stops crying when she sees D.W. with the balloon in her hand. Buster grabs the end of it and makes noises with it.
