Plot[]
After feeling underappreciated for his toil, Dawkins goes on strike from his sidekick duties for Dylan and Dolly. Dawkins storms off to the park with Princess Positron, where the Canal Crew teach him how to relax. When the machines of 101 Dalmatian Street begin to malfunction to the point of chaos, Dylan goes to the park to retrieve Dawkins. However, Dawkins refuses to return, with Dylan believing himself to be cable of fixing the machines without Dawkins' help. Dylan's plan backfires, causing Dolly to retrieve Dawkins herself; she proves to be more convincing, causing Dawkins to return to 101 to fix the machines. When trying to come to an agreement for better treatment, Dylan and Dolly show their respect for Dawkins, stating that they leave him in charge when they are away because he is the only one they can trust to take care of the rest of the puppies. With everything restored to order, Dawkins, Dylan, and Dolly rest after their busy day before Dawkins is left in charge of the puppies once again.
