The Adventures of Milo and Otis

Narrator: To keep up his spirits, he began singing a dog marching song.
Otis: Here comes the dog, strong and brave - woof! Here comes the dog, your life he...
[falls into a hole]
Narrator: He then decided to skip the whole thing.

Milo: You're a strange-looking cat.
Otis: Oh, I'm not a cat; I'm a dog.
Milo: All right, a dog, I understand, but... deep down inside, we're all cats, right?

Milo's Mother: And Milo! I've told you again and again - *please* don't walk on the chickens!

Otis: Maybe you don't realize it, Milo, but this a major day for me, because... well, maybe you don't realize it, but this is the day I've become... a watchdog!

Narrator: The noise upstairs didn't disturb the dogs that slept in the barn. They could sleep through anything. But a lot of the other animals were awakened by all the scurrying overhead. Some of them just accepted it... some were pretty annoyed... and a few quietly plotted revenge.

Narrator: Naturally, the sight of a dog and a cat watching an egg brought the usual string of gawkers... and thrill-seekers.

Deer: Just let your heart lead and your feet will follow, and we'll bound and leap like a gentle breeze. Bound and leap like a zephyr set free. Bound, and, of course, leap.

Otis: [after Sandra gives birth to their first puppy] It's a boy! It's a boy! It's a boy!
Sandra: Uh, Otis... you ran out a little too soon.
Otis: It's a litter! It's a litter!

Milo: [smacking a bird on the head] Hey! Your singing stinks! Will you quit it?

Chicken #1: Did you hear about Gloria?
Chicken #2: Oh, the egg! So it finally happened! Is she staying at home with it or is she going back to work?

Raccoon: [observing Milo's attempt at fishing] That cat has got to be kidding.

Narrator: Under a fresh bright sky, Otis resumed his search for Milo. He saw in the distance an animal that he thought might be helpful.
Fox: [singing and swimming in a creek] Deeya-da da da dat da, deya-da datta da... Eeyo edata da, de do doo datta-da.
[Otis runs down the hill]
Fox: Eeya dat-datta da!
[continues singing, climbs out of creek]
Fox: Oh... ah! Gah...
[shakes water off]
Fox: Ooh, that's better.
[proceeds to jump in meadow]
Otis: Excuse me! I'm looking for a friend of mine!
Fox: I'm looking for, uh, someone to play with! Wanna race me across the stream, eh?
Otis: I haven't got time!
Narrator: ... Otis said, sensing that this fox wasn't going to be any great help.
Fox: Hey wait a second... What kind of animal are you anyway?
Otis: I'm a dog, of course.
Fox: How can you be a dog? You have no tail!
Narrator: Otis was outraged.
Otis: I certainly do! Look!
[wags his tail]
Fox: Ha! You call that a tail? THIS is a tail! Ha ha ha!
[waves his tail wildly]
Narrator: And with that, the fox jumped away laughing.

Milo: [taunting the bear in the drawers] Wanna come in? I'll help you. I'll pull you in by your nose!

Narrator: Now the bear was raging mad. He'd had enough of rummaging through drawers after a cat. Now he was gonna pull the whole shack apart.

Otis: Are you sure you know where we're going?
Narrator: Otis asked.
Milo: Sure. The dock is right this way. And you've never seen the river. Come on!
Narrator: Said Milo.

Narrator: They battled over the trout until the bear saw something more bigger and tastier. A cat.

Otis: [to bird who was perched on Milo's box] Woof! OK, punk!
Narrator: Otis barked.
Otis: Rrrr! There's the box. Now where's the cat?
Bird: Poor Ca-ca-cat! So sad!
Narrator: The bird croaked.
Bird: Look in the box!
Narrator: Otis prepared himself and peaked in the box, and saw... only a solitary black feather. And the bird flew away cackling.
Bird: Ca-ca-ca!

Narrator: Otis, meanwhile, had traveled through the wetlands to a beach, full of clam holes. A clam might be able to help him, but how does a dog talk to a clam? Then he remembered there was one magic word everyone understood, and that was "please." So he marched up to a clam hole and said,
Otis: Excuse me. Uh, please...
[a clam squirts water in his face]
Otis: Aww. Ohh.

Milo: [looking at a lobster on the dock] Wow! Look at this thing, Otis!
Narrator: Milo said.
Milo: Do you think we can eat it?
Otis: Who would something that looks like that?
Narrator: Otis replied, and continued on to the river. And then it happened. When Otis was just sitting on the dock, wasting time...
[lobster pinches Otis on his bottom]
Otis: Oh! Cor! OW!
[Otis jumps into the water and splashes about for a while, ducks quack. Otis later returns to the dock]
Narrator: Otis dried off, and came back to settle a score with that... that... uh, thing.

Narrator: Sometime later, during the last weeks of the long winter, Joyce was making preparations. The time was drawing near.
Milo: [about her soon-to-come babies] You okay, Joyce? Want some more dinner? Remember, you're eating for eight now.
Joyce: Milo... Milo, I think it's time.
Milo: Okay! Remember the way to breathe?
[Joyce breathes deeply]
