once was a fridge that was empty, and

0:02

no one wanted to shop. What

0:04

would they do? Order Green Chef said one.

0:06

0:08

0:46

a fawn -coloured French bulldog, lives

0:48

with his human in an

0:50

apartment in New York City. But

0:53

Dexter has another life

0:55

his human knows nothing

0:57

about. He is

0:59

the famous detective Dexter.

1:02

Every morning Dexter hops onto the

1:04

fire escape where he keeps an

1:06

office. His trusty assistant,

1:08

a Pomeranian named Peanut, is

1:10

always early and there is

1:12

always a line of city

1:14

dogs who need help. Today,

1:20

Dexter and Peanut worked

1:22

three cases. They

1:24

helped a Chihuahua find her tail. That

1:27

one was rather quick as her tail was

1:29

right behind her the whole time. Then

1:31

they helped a lost kitten find

1:33

her way home. And

1:35

finally, they helped Abishon track down

1:37

a bulldog who had stolen her

1:39

bags of cookies at the park. Now

1:42

it was time for Dexter's

1:44

dinner party. He

1:47

had invited ten dogs, including

1:49

himself and Peanut. He

1:51

prepared the dinner. Ground

1:54

lamb, mashed sweet

1:56

potatoes and a vegetable medley.

1:59

Brussels sprouts, a Dexter favourite.

2:02

Spinach and asparagus. Everyone

2:04

arrived on time and the

2:06

whole night was going off

2:08

without a hitch. With every

2:11

morsel of dinner devoured, the

2:13

time for dessert had come. Dexter

2:16

brings out a cake. The

2:20

dogs are eager

2:22

to try it. Dexter

2:24

too, until he

2:26

cuts into the cake

2:28

and finds that

2:31

there's something in the

2:33

middle. What on

2:35

earth? Dexter pulls

2:37

the cake apart in two

2:39

big pieces and looks inside.

2:42

Jane, the cocker spaniel

2:44

nearly falls over. Fluffy. Jane

2:47

stares down at the stuffed

2:49

animal that has been baked

2:51

into Dexter's cake. Someone's killed

2:53

my stuffy fluffy. A stuffy

2:56

named Fluffy? How original. I

2:58

am so sorry for your

3:00

loss, Jane. And for

3:02

my cake, which... did not

3:04

come out the way I planned. Tastes

3:08

great to me, Jax. Jerry, how

3:10

can you eat at a time like

3:12

this? What? We'll

3:15

get this at home. I'm

3:17

eating every morsel. My own brother

3:19

betraying Fluffy. All the dogs take

3:21

bites of the cake. One

3:23

dog, a yokey, quickly gets

3:25

up. Where do you think

3:27

you're going? We, Felix, please,

3:29

sit. Felix does as he's

3:31

told. Jax. You have to help

3:34

me. Who killed my Fluffy?

3:36

Well, only the dogs here

3:38

knew I was having a party. So

3:40

only those here knew I would

3:42

be preparing a cake for dessert.

3:45

My signature. And

3:47

so it appears the

3:49

culprit is at this very

3:51

table. No

3:54

getting out now. Peanut

3:56

scans every dog's

3:58

face. But no one

4:00

looks guilty. They all

4:02

look innocent, boss. Whoever

4:04

did it is a good

4:07

actor. Hmm, we. Let's

4:09

see. Petunia was

4:11

at the groomer today. A

4:13

fresh cut. Aldo, you

4:15

were at the pasta shop all day. We

4:18

passed by on our way home and I saw

4:20

you measuring flour. Tina and

4:22

Timmy, you were at your human's

4:24

Broadway rehearsal, as you've talked about

4:26

it all night. Quite

4:28

innocently, I might add. Felix,

4:32

while you did try to escape, I

4:34

know you well and I do not believe you

4:36

have it in you to harm a stuffed animal.

4:39

Jane would never harm her own,

4:42

which leaves Jerry and

4:44

Bridget. Don't

4:47

even look at me to think

4:49

you would try to blame me.

4:51

Well, you've got fresh carrot shavings

4:53

under your claws. That cake

4:55

was waiting for the oven. Now

4:57

Dexter might bake a great cake, but

4:59

he makes a mess. Maybe you

5:01

stepped in it after you took Fluffy

5:03

and dropped him in. Rock carrots

5:05

are my daily snack. I

5:07

chew them and yes, I use a

5:09

paw and a claw. It's my

5:11

own carrot, no analysis. But you do

5:13

live next door to Jane and

5:16

Jerry. We are maybe else, yes. So

5:18

you could have easily gotten into

5:20

their apartment and taken Fluffy. Then come

5:22

just across the street here and

5:24

dropped him into my cake as I

5:26

turned my back to check the

5:28

oven. I suppose they could have, but

5:30

why? I don't have anything against

5:32

a stuffy. Good question. Perhaps,

5:34

Envy, you

5:36

do not have a stuffy

5:38

yourself, do you? No. Or perhaps,

5:40

because Jane is your best

5:42

friend, but she preferred the stuffy's

5:44

company to yours on many

5:47

occasions. She drags that thing everywhere.

5:49

Whoa! It seems

5:51

fluffy was not where liked. Not

5:53

at all. In fact, the

5:55

only dog would dislike him more

5:57

than me. Was Jerry? That was

5:59

no secret. Perhaps not. But

6:01

it makes it all the more interesting. Dexter

6:04

looks around at his dinner

6:06

guests. I see

6:08

it now. See what?

6:10

Jane and her stuffy,

6:13

fluffy, were best friends. Jerry,

6:15

her brother, was annoyed by the

6:18

stuffy. And Bridget, Jane's

6:20

best friend, was jealous of

6:22

it. So they worked

6:24

together to destroy it. but to

6:26

maintain their innocence, or

6:28

so they thought. We are

6:30

all friends here, but perhaps

6:32

some of us take advantage of that. No

6:35

one liked the stuffy. Jane

6:37

talked about him all the time,

6:40

brought him almost everywhere, so it

6:42

was not just one of you. It

6:44

was all of you. Bridget,

6:47

you took Fluffy from the apartment after

6:49

Jerry let you in. You handed

6:51

it off to Petunia, who was on her

6:53

way to the groomer. and would pass by

6:55

Aldo at the pasta shop. Tina

6:57

and Timmy were supposed to take it,

6:59

but rehearsal ran late and the shop was

7:01

closed by the time they arrived. Which

7:04

left Aldo to give it to

7:06

Felix to take to my apartment, sneak

7:09

in and throw it into the

7:11

cank. Felix, you've

7:13

been doing quite a bit of work for

7:15

Aldo lately. Perhaps he caught

7:17

you eating pasta from the plates

7:19

in the shop. This saw

7:21

still remains on your bottom lip

7:23

and saw instead of getting

7:25

you into trouble He feeds you

7:27

whatever you like, but you

7:29

work for him in return So

7:31

Jane your fluffy had not

7:33

one culprit, but all and while

7:35

we cannot single any one

7:37

of you out I do believe

7:39

it was Jerry who first

7:41

proposed to get rid of the

7:43

stuffy. Oh Jerry Things

7:46

stared at me all the time.

7:48

Those beady little eyes. I was

7:50

sick of it. No more. He

7:52

had to go. And Jane

7:54

never stopped talking about that stuffy. What

7:56

he did, where he was. What

7:59

he told her. It's a stuffy.

8:01

They do not speak. Well, now he

8:03

can rest in peace. Just like

8:05

our friendship. Sorry, Jane. They

8:07

dragged me into it. He was so

8:10

cute. Lot of drool on him, but

8:12

so cute. I think they have some

8:14

new ones at the store on the

8:16

corner. No one can replace my Fluffy,

8:19

but I suppose my friends will make

8:21

it up to me with a

8:23

new stuffy. That seems fair. I

8:25

think that should be considered. No

8:28

way. I have to agree. Well

8:30

then, Bridget, no more carrots for

8:32

you. Didn't think of that, did

8:34

you? I give you your snack. And

8:36

you, Jerry, you love your

8:39

peanut butter filled bones, don't you? I'll

8:41

make sure we never have one in

8:43

the house again. OK, we have gone

8:45

to revenge. And

8:48

Felix, you will get me

8:50

that new stuffy first thing tomorrow. I

8:52

can do that. We'll just get

8:54

rid of that one, too. Jerry, please.

8:57

I do not want to have to call the dog police

8:59

on you. You can bet if they do it again,

9:02

I'll make the call myself. Jane

9:04

stumps off. The rest

9:06

of the dogs pack together and leave. Dexter

9:09

and Peanut are left with

9:11

the cake covered fluffy. What

9:13

do we do with it? In

9:15

the garbage he goes. Can we eat

9:18

the last few bites of the cake? We

9:20

cannot let it go to waste. That's

9:22

exactly what I was

9:25

thinking.
