A Pup Named Scooby-Doo

Like, it was a dark and stormy night,

and the gang and I were at the Knittingham puppy farm.

It was the night before the big Doo reunion,

and we could not find my pet, a pup named...

Scooby-Doo! Where are you?

Right here, Shaggy.

Oh, I'm glad that Scooby could come

to tomorrow's birthday party.

It's not often that the Doo pups get together.

That's right.

Yeah, we love our puppies.

Scooby, Skippy, Ruby and Howdy.

Wow!

According to the National Exaggerator,

the Doo pups have the same birthday as Bigfoot.

I seriously doubt if Mrs. Knittingham invited him

to the party, Freddy.

She didn't? Darn!

Mama and Daddy Doo have a special birthday gift

just for you, Scooby.

They do? Ooh, what is it?

It's special.

Yeah. Very special.

Being the oldest son,

you've inherited the family dog collar.

I have?

Yuck.

Come on, Scooby. Try it on.

Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

Scoobert.

Scoobert?

Mom!

Oh, all right.

I'll get it.

Whoa.

Like, you left

before anyone could see your collar, Scoob.

I know.

It's a present for the Doo pups.

Oh, boy.

That collar is mine!

That collar is mine!

Like, yow!

Yeah. Yow!

Like, abandon puppy farm.

The Dogcatcher Ghost is loose.

Yeah, loose.

A ghost?

Shaggy.

You don't believe in a Dogcatcher Ghost, do you?

Well, Daphne...

Yes.

Like, show her, Scoob.

Right, Shaggy.

"That collar is mine."

Oh, that can only mean one thing.

Buster McMuttmauler has finally returned.

Buster McMuttmauler?

Buster McMuttmauler? Who's he?

Mama and Daddy Doo first met him a long time ago.

Buster McMuttmauler was a dogcatcher gone bad.

He loved to corner helpless puppies.

You got a problem with that?

Help! Help!

Ahem. I said, help!

Huh?

Uh-oh. Trouble.

Let's go.

Huh?

Yiiiike!

Ha! You stupid dogs will never get me now.

McMuttmauler.

So you're the one who's been stealing

those expensive dog collars.

B-but, Dogcatcher General, I...

I'm sure the police will want to hear about this.

One day I'll get you puppies...

and your ugly collar.

Like, no wonder the ghost is back.

He wants that collar.

Oh, no!

Yeah, it must be cursed.

Cursed?

Ahhh...

Great going, Freddy.

Oh, I'd better call Dr. Needlemeyer.

Did you call, Mrs. Knittingham?

We've just had a Doo family faint.

Like, you've gotta help them, doctor.

It's almost dinnertime.

Dinner? Oh, boy.

Mmmmm.

Are my itty-bitty, teenie-weenie, puppy-wuppies

feeling better now?

Ew. Make her stop.

Thanks, Velma.

My little Scooby-Dooby has a nice collar-wollar.

Yuck.

I'll see you bow-wows tomorrow

for the big birthday party.

Here, Mrs. Knittingham.

You take it.

Th-that's all right, Scooby.

It's yours.

Thanks a lot.

Mrs. Knittingham? Mrs. Knittingham?

Shaggy!

Mrs. Knittingham is gone!

Gone? Like, where'd she go, Scoob?

I'll bet the ghost of Buster McMuttmauler got her.

That collar is cursed.

Cursed?

Oh, calm down.

There are no such things as curses.

Let's go see if anyone's seen Mrs. Knittingham.

Sorry, kids, I haven't seen

Mrs. Knittingham around here anywhere.

Boo, hoo, hoo, hoo.

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo.

Calm down, Mama.

Well, I've gotta bake some doggie treats.

If I see her, I'll let you know.

By the way, nice collar you've got there, Scooby.

Yuck!

There's only one way to find Mrs. Knittingham.

Yeah. Let's split up, gang.

Aw, Scooby. I was gonna say that.

Sorry, Freddy.

Like, looking for clues in the kitchen should be safe,

right, Scoob?

Right.

Like, there go the lights.

What do we do now, Scoob?

I know.

Like, good idea, Scoob.

Maybe there are some clues in here.

Maybe.

Like, no clues in there.

Yeah, no clues.

Like, did you turn off the lights, Scoob?

No.

Then, is this your hand on my shoulder?

I don't think so.

That collar is mine!

Like, it's a peeping ghost.

Yeah. Do you mind?

Sorry.

Huh?

Huh?

Like, I think we lost him, Scoob.

Yeah, phew.

Like, is that your hand, Scooby?

Uh-uh.

It's mine.

Like, oh, no, Scoob.

It's the Dogcatcher Ghost's brother.

Hold it right there, Mr. Dogcatcher Ghost.

I'm Mr. Goodman.

Sure, buddy. How come you're wearing a white hat

and carrying a net?

Why, any fool can see
