Arthur then mentions how Pal learned that he shouldn’t slip out of his collar during a walk. He remembers the time during a walk where Pal had tried to get in touch with another dog, but had run backwards and slipped out of his collar. Arthur had called out for Pal to stop, but Pal didn’t until both he and Arthur found a guard dog that eventually chased after them. | Arthur then mentions how Pal learned that he shouldn’t slip out of his collar during a walk.

One morning at breakfast, Arthur is feeding a few bites of his pancakes to Pal; D.W. notices and tells their mom. [[Jane Read|Jane]] explains to Arthur that he has his own food. For the rest of the morning, Arthur goes to his treehouse with Pal to read a book. He asks if Pal was done with the page he was reading, and Pal barks, which Arthur takes as an agreement. Arthur offers Pal some jelly worms that were from his Halloween candy bag. Arthur explains the chewing of gummy candy to Pal and then Arthur throws gummy balls into both their mouths. | One morning at breakfast, Arthur is feeding a few bites of his pancakes to Pal; D.W. notices and tells their mom.

At lunch, Jane wants to warn Arthur about feeding to Pal. However, she does not. D.W. asks for Arthur to hear a joke. However, after she says "Knock, knock!" Pal takes hold of D.W.'s food. Arthur tries to command Pal to stop, but Pal and D.W. still continue a tug-of-war over her food, causing D.W. to fall backward. Pal also only eats the hot dog as well. D.W. complains about Pal and wants to teach him a lesson. | At lunch, Jane wants to warn Arthur about feeding to Pal. However, she does not. D.W. asks for Arthur to hear a joke.

As Arthur is in his room playing with his toys, he finds Pal not looking so well. He is lying down on his side, groaning. He explains the troubles to his mom and dad, who advise Arthur to let Pal rest. He may have to go to the vet if he isn't feeling better at all after his nap. The news spreads to his friends. Francine tells Arthur that her aunt's chameleon fled from the vet after climbing up on the wall and into a vent, through the grills, leaving him as a stray. (NOTE: Francine's Aunt's Chameleon ran past by in the foreground.) Buster then explains to Arthur that Pal cannot mutate colors or slide into a vent like the chameleon. Brain tells Arthur that the vet will find out what Pal's symptoms are. He explains to Arthur that vets know how to talk to pets. In an imaginary appointment, Pal tells the vet that his tongue hangs out and he starts to groan. He assumes that he should perform surgery. He turns on a saw that frightens Pal. | As Arthur is in his room playing with his toys, he finds Pal not looking so well. He is lying down on his side, groaning.

David and Arthur decide to go to the vet, and Pal is ushered to the doctor. Sue Ellen explains to Arthur that her snail (who is also groaning) is sluggish. David explains to Arthur that Pal will have to stay at the vet overnight. Arthur sadly tells Pal that he'll be fine. He assumes that he's allergic to something, which David agrees with. At dinner, Arthur is still in a bad mood and he hardly even eats his food. D.W. thinks of getting a new dog, which makes Arthur annoyed. While Arthur is in the living room, D.W. apologizes to Arthur for annoying him at the dinner table. She wonders how Arthur is feeling. She then explains that she had the same bad mood when her bird died, hoping this would help, but it just makes Arthur cry. | David and Arthur decide to go to the vet, and Pal is ushered to the doctor.

At | At school, Brain explains to Arthur that the vet may explain what Pal's symptoms really are and that Pal will be sent home on the following day. Buster and Francine agree. Arthur reckons the cause of the symptoms were done by D.W. Francine and Buster are shocked to hear this and they threaten to punish her. Brain decides to put her on trial. | ||
Later that day, Arthur, D.W., and his friends decide to play "courtroom", where Brain poses as the judge, Francine, the lawyer, Buster, the jury, D.W. the defendant, and Arthur, the plaintiff. Brain accuses D.W. of making Pal sick. He tells D.W. to explain how she made Pal sick. D.W. gets defensive, and Buster assumes that D.W. is an alien replicate to take over dogs in an attempt to make way for an invasion because dogs would be able to tell who is an alien and who is not; this makes Arthur, D.W., Brain and Francine look at Buster in surprise. | Later that day, Arthur, D.W., and his friends decide to play "courtroom", where Brain poses as the judge, Francine, the lawyer, Buster, the jury, D.W. the defendant, and Arthur, the plaintiff.
