"Seemed like a mistake to me." "Soon, I had to live my life on the run." "[gasps] Found him!" "[whimpers]" "There was no escape." "I let them do what they wanted to me." "I'd do anything so that Roxy could be safe." "That was my mission, to protect her at all times." "[kids screaming playfully]" "I guess, if I was really honest," "I liked all the attention." "[barks] [kids laughing, squealing]" "Boo!" "[whimpers]" "As Roxy and I got older, our connection grew stronger." "[Roxy barking]" "And she never lost the spark that drew me to her in the first place." "One day, Roxy went to the vet." "And she never came back." " (BOY) Look at me!" "Look at me!" " (GIRL) Oh!" "Everyone was good to me." "But as the years went by, I missed Roxy." "It just wasn't the same without her." "Hey, Tino." "Hey, Tino." "You know what I'm thinking?" "Yes." "I know what you're thinking." "Pizza." "Ugh." "No?" "No pizza?" "I'm not hungry." "Okay." "Tino... what are you thinking?" "Hmm?" "What are you thinking?" "Tino, what are you thinking?" "I'm thinking I'm ready." "One of my best lives, really." "[chuckling softly]" "[puppies yapping]" "I'm back." "Again." "But why?" "[yelps]" " Puppies!" "Want a puppy?" " Hey there, little fella." " Puppies for sale!" " Want to buy one?" "Who wants a puppy?" "Hi!" "[gasps] Oh!" "Here we go again." " Look what I got." "Huh?" " [dog barking nearby]" "(MAN) Yeah, I am looking." "Look how cute he is." "You know, it's-it's crazy." "Who's gonna take care of him?" "I will." "Come on." "I named him Waffles." "Not inside." "[barks quietly]" "Come on." "(MAN) I kept telling her you were going to get bigger." "Not so into you now, is she?" "(DOG) I never went anywhere." "I never played." "It was like the days went on and on without me." "[barks]" "You have 30 days to deal with this." "When the officer came," "I thought it was to take me to do find-and-show." "But she left without me." "(MAN) He's dirty." "We're getting rid of him." " [barking] - (WOMAN) We are not going to get rid of that dog." "(MAN) That's enough!" "We're getting rid of him." "(WOMAN) I took him in here, and we're gonna take care of him." "You'll make sure he finds a nice home, right?" "Somebody responsible?" "Yeah." "Come on." "Out." "Move it." "Let's go." "Come on." "Move." "[whines quietly]" "So long, doggie." "Now I'm supposed to walk home?" "That didn't seem very fair." "But when I thought about it," "I didn't want to go back to that home." "(BOY) Come on." "Over here." " Look, Mom." " [dogs barking]" "(DOG) That looks like fun." "(BOY) Sit." "Sit." "You like that?" "It's been so long since I've had fun." "(BOY) Where is she going?" "[dog panting]" "Do I know you?" " [sniffing]" " There's something about you." "It's... your smell." "(WOMAN) Aw." "You're a scruffy one." "Are you lost?" " Where are you from?" " [sniffing] [sniffing continues]" "You got a collar?" "I know that smell." "Don't be afraid." "It's... from a long time ago." "[horn honks]" "[birds twittering]" " Had I been here before?" " [sniffing]" "I was so happy to leave the town behind." "My nose was full of fresh new smells." "And then there are the smells you never forget." "[sniffing]" "Train." "Moss." "Trees." "Horse." "Garbage." "It was horse-dog!" "[barking]" "Could it be the same?" " [snorts]" " Ah, it was the same." "Could it mean Ethan was here, too?" "(MAN) That ought to cover us to the end of the month." "Ethan?" "That can't be him." "(MAN) Tell Fred that I will be in town..." "Is that him?" "...tomorrow to settle up, okay?" "(MAN 2) Will do." "It is him!" "It's him!" "Yes!" "Yes, it's him!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "[grunts]" "It's me!" " Boss dog!" "Bailey, Bailey, Bailey." " [laughing]" " Doodle dog!" " Hey!" "Where'd you come from?" "After all these lives, I'd actually found him." "I found Ethan." "I'm gonna make a bet you're hungry." "Here you go." "[cows mooing]" "Wow." "You must be." "Nobody likes my cooking." " Don't look at me like that." " [whining]" "You can't stay here." "You gotta go home." "You belong to somebody." "Home." "Yes." "Yes, I'm home." "[barks]" "Go home, dog." "Go home." "You're a stubborn one, aren't you?" "[MAN over radio] Then, Tuesday night, we got three tenths of an inch of rain." "[dogs barking]" "Be sure he gets a good home." "He's a good dog." "(WOMAN) Sure." "No." "No, don't leave me here." "This is a white-coat place." "I belong with you." "So long, dog." "[barking]" "[water running, dishes clattering]" "[dogs barking] [footsteps approaching]" "[whines]" "You want to get out of here?" "[barks] [laughing] Do you want to go?" "Come on, let's go." "[train whistle blowing]" "(DOG) I was back in the front seat." "Okay, buddy." "Guess it's gonna be you and me." "And the donkey." "What's a donkey?" "(ETHAN) Now, when was the last time you got a bath?" "That's a good boy." "Yeah." "There you go." "All right." "Just step out." "Out." "Let's go!" "There you go." "You're getting a new collar." "Yeah!" "Doesn't look like he's missed too many meals." " He's in good shape." " Yeah, he's a good boy." "Aren't you, huh?" "But Ethan still seemed sad." "Maybe it was because he slept alone." "I wanted to help him, but I didn't know how." "Wait." "Wait." "Hold that thought." "Okay, Bailey, let's do this." "Hurry." "Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry." " This is the place." " [dogs barking]" "I'm looking for... [sniffing]" "(WOMAN) Come on, Carly." "Come here, girl." " Come on, Carly." " Come on, Carly." "(BOY) Come here, Carly." "Can you get the gate for me?" " Yes, Mommy." " Thank you." "(BOY) Good girl." "Oh, sorry." "Rach." "(RACHEL) Oh, hey." "Look, Will." " Grandma's here." " (WILL) Hi, Grandma." "There's that smell again." " How are you feeling?" " I'm pretty good." "This is a surprise." "It's stronger now." "I thought I'd bring you some groceries." " It's Hannah!" " Aw." "Hmm, thanks." "You're still here?" "Oh, you look different." "But you still smell like biscuits." " [sniffs, barks] - [indistinct chatter] [chuckles]" "(HANNAH) Who is this?" "It's the, uh, stray from the park." "A stray?" "Really?" " Well, hello there." " [sniffing, panting]" "What a good dog." "Well, he's certainly not a stray, 'cause he's got a collar." "Let's see." "His name is Buddy." "Let's see." "He belongs to... [panting]" " [Buddy barks] - [rooster crows] [gasps]" "[footfalls on steps]" "[knocking on door] [sighs] [knocking]" "Come on, Ethan." "I can smell you in there." "I don't want to leave you here." "But I guess he's not home." "[barking] [groans]" "[barking]" "[gasps]" "Hi, Ethan." "Hi, Hannah." " [Buddy barks] - [Hannah chuckles]" "I brought your dog home." "[chuckles softly]" "(ETHAN) Must have been tough on you, losing your husband after all those years." "Yeah, it made me miss my daughter a lot." "[sighs]" "And then, with the new baby coming," "I thought Rachel and Miguel could really use the help." "Yeah." "How long you get to stay for?" "Uh, well, I'm..." "I'm not visiting, Ethan." "I moved back about a month ago." " Y-You did?" " [Hannah chuckles]" "Welcome home." "Thanks." "[groans quietly]" "Well, this place is still the same." "[ETHAN chuckling] Yeah." "(DOG) Oh, come on." "So, what about you?" "You... you never met anyone or..." "Never found the right fit." "Mm-hmm." "I'm really stubborn." "I know that." "[chuckles]" "When you put your mind to something, that was that." "[chuckles]" "Yeah." "That's good for getting things done." "It's not so good for relationships." " Uh..." " Mmm." "Okay, well..." "Okay, here we go." "They're gonna lick faces." "Well, look, this was really nice." "I gotta go." "Thank you, Ethan." "(DOG) Wait, what?" "Oh, come on!" "(ETHAN) Hey, thanks for bringing back my dog." "You're welcome." "Bye." "Hey, Hannah." "I, uh..." "I owe you an apology." "For what happened to us." "Back then." "Well, don't worry." "It was a long, long time ago." "No." "I pushed you away." "And I was..." "I was really mad at the world." "And I just want you to know that not a day goes by that I don't kick myself for doing that." "There's that sweaty smell." "You think, uh, it'd be crazy if... we did something together?" "Are you asking me out on a date?" "Well, I just think that I'd be an all-time fool if I just watched you drive away." "(DOG) Enough talking." "Use your nose." "Then don't." "[both chuckle softly]" "Okay, now you're getting it." " Yes!" "Yes!" " [barking] [chickens clucking]" "[Buddy continues barking]" "Get out of here." "Give 'em some space." "[quiet chatter, laughter]" "Few right there, that's why..." "Hi, you little cutie pie." "Ew." "My water has mint in it." "You have a good time?" "(DOG) Once they started licking faces, no one could stop them." "Ethan finally had what he needed." "He was happy." "I was happy, too." " Excuse me, everybody." " [glass clinking]" "I-I would like to thank you all for coming here today." " It means a lot to Hannah and I." " Cheers." " Hear, hear." "I've always wanted a big family." "All in one day, I've got one." "You didn't tell me how big it was." "[laughter]" "I just would like to say how grateful I am, that my beautiful girl walked back into my life." " (OTHERS) Aw." " Thank you." "Life's a mystery." " (OTHERS) Cheers." " [applause, cheering]" "There was one thing I still wanted." "I wanted him to know it was me." "(HANNAH) We had so much fun last night." "That I was Bailey." "(HANNAH) What a great night." "Stop." "You were amazing." "Yeah." "You, too." " [barks quietly] - [Ethan laughs]" " Wait, didn't Bailey used to do that?" " Yeah." "It's a dog thing." "[Hannah chuckles]" "Bailey." "I'm Bailey." "There's gotta be a way." "Hmm." "Wait." "[sniffing]" "That's familiar." "[sniffing]" "I smelled... me." "What do you got there?" "Where did you find that?" "[sniffing]" "Hey." "You want to play?" "[barks]" "Get ready." "You have to really go after this one." "Go get it." "Good boy!" "Come on, bring it here." "Good one." "All right." "You go play, all right?" "Gotta get back." "[chuckles] [barking]" "What?" "What do you want?" "[chuckles] This is nuts." "[barking]" "All right, Buddy." "You want to go for the showstopper?" "[continues barking]" "You want to try it?" "You want to get it?" "Ready?" "I am ready." "Okay." "Go!" "Where did you learn how to do that, Buddy?" "[sighs]" "You are really starting to freak me out, boss dog." " [barks]" " Yes, Ethan, that's right." "I'm your boss dog." "I'm Bailey." "Say it." "[Buddy barking]" "Boss dog?" "[continues barking] [whimpers]" "Are you the boss dog?" "[barking]" "No." "Yes." "It's me, Ethan." "It's me." "Bailey?" "[barking]" "Bailey." "[whimpering] [laughing]" "Boss dog." "Bailey, Bailey, Bailey." "Bailey, Bailey." "Aw." "Mmm, yeah." " [laughing] - [barks]" "So, in all my lives as a dog, here's what I've learned." "Have fun, obviously." "Whenever possible, find someone to save, and save them." "Lick the ones you love." "Don't get all sad-faced about what happened and scrunchy-faced about what could." " Just be here now." " Go!" " [barks]" " Okay, go get it." " Be here now." " That's it." "[barking]" "That's a dog's purpose."
