From your friends at PBS Kids.

Good morning, podcast people.

Arthur Reid here with the Arthur podcast.

And today, I want to tell you how I got my dog, Pound.

That's right, boy.

This story is all about you.

Before we got Pau, we didn't have any pets at all.

But I really, really wanted a dog.

There's so much you can do with a dog. You can play,

chase, cuddle, relax. Oh, I know, boy. So one night at dinner, I asked my mom and dad if I could get a dog.

I love this roasted broccoli, hun. Thank you. More rice, D.W.?

Rice is nice.

Um, excuse me, but you know what's really nice?

Dogs. Can I get one?

Dog, dog, dog.

Shush, D.W. I'm the kind of kid who should have a dog of his own.

Well, Arthur, a puppy is a big responsibility.

I know.

But I'll feed it, and walk it, and play catch with it.

It's easy to say those things now, but tougher to do them every day.

That means no.

Shush, D.W.
