Downward Dog

recommended age Unlock co-watching from 2

Michael spends the weekend pet-sitting the neighbour's dog, Yuko, with big plans to become her best friend. When Yuko prefers playing with his younger brother Carl, Michael feels left out, until the panda neighbour Stillwater shares a story about Dario, a mouse who learns the joy of giving. Michael realises that keeping Yuko safe and happy, and sharing the fun with Carl, is what good pet-sitting is about. The episode closes with the whole group heading out for a walk together.

Cony the Babysitter

recommended age Unlock

Cony rides the city bus home with a small robot pet that has a glowing screen for a face. Back in her apartment the robot keeps darting off, and Cony chases it around the sofa and across the rug until she is worn out and finally sits still long enough for it to settle beside her. Afterwards she meets Brown at the neighbourhood café and tells him about her afternoon, leaning against him until she cheers up. The episode closes at Brown's door, where a robot pet wrapped with a yellow ribbon is handed over, and then on a night view of a lit apartment window.

Off Duty

recommended age Unlock

Red spends day and night guarding a nest of three eggs through rain, snow and darkness until Matilda arrives and takes over so he can leave for the beach. On holiday he cannot switch off: coconuts, rocks and the sun all look like eggs to him through his camera. Back at the nest the other birds play around while a crowd of pigs creeps in, and Red races home in a panic to find the nest empty before the eggs turn up safe. The episode ends with Red back on the sand, this time with the three eggs in deck chairs beside him.
