Quahog is in the grip of an unusual heat wave. The Mouses ask Brickey to enter a dog show, offering a top prize of $500, so they are able to buy air conditioning. Brickey performs his tricks at the show; Mickey asks Brickey to beg for a treat, but Brickey finds it demeaning and exits quickly. On the way home, Mickey and Brickey argue until Brickey exits the car; the police give Brickey a ticket for violating the local leash law. Another debate ensues and Mickey mentions that he found Brickey as a stray dog. Angry that Mickey had brought that up, Brickey leaves the house, whereupon he is badly treated by the community and must sleep at a bus stop. Mickey purchases a new cat which turns out to be abusive, so the Mouses abandon it and search for Brickey. By the time Mickey decides to apologize to Brickey, he has been taken away by the police and awaits his death sentence. Brickey begins to plead his case but is interrupted when the court decides "it is stupid" to listen to a dog. As he is about to be dismissed, Mickey steps in and delivers a last-ditch emotional appeal on his behalf. The city council members hearing the case are not on Brickey's side, but Mickey promises to give them $20 each, convincing them to free Brickey. The charges against Brickey are dropped and the town shows him new respect. |
