Well, here goes my day...because I'm totally going to watch this another hundred times.
Owner (male voice; off-camera): Hey hey hey, remember how you wanted a kitten?
Dog (a black and white hound mix, trotting around back and forth in front of the unseen cameraperson sitting on a couch, making silly faces and barking and stuff, but its sounds have been replaced with the voiceover): Yep.
Owner: I went to the pet store today.
Dog: No way.
Owner: Yep, I did.
Dog: (excitedly walking) Well come on, let's go. I want to see!
Owner: Hang on, keep your collar on. You wanted a girl?
Dog: Yeah!
Owner: A tabby?
Dog: Yeah, that's right! (jumps up in the air) Oh, I can't believe it, you got me a cat! (looks around)...Where is she? Is, is she out here?
Owner: Wait, wait you didn't let me finish. So I went to the pet store and I looked at the snakes.
Dog: Snakes? Oh. Blech! I'm gonna just go over here.
Owner: Well, I didn't get one.
Dog: Okay, um....
Owner: No, no, then I went and I took a look around, right, and I looked at the, uh, guinea pigs. You know what guinea pigs are, right?
Dog: Yeah.
(dog continues to nod along and say "yeah" in between each animal on the owner's list)
Owner: Yeah, I looked at the mice, gerbils, parrots, newts, hamsters, kittens –
Dog: (interrupts) Oh oh, that's it! That's where you stopped because that's what you're gonna get me, a...
Owner: And the hermit crabs.
Dog: (tosses head around) OH COME ON!
Owner: Can you calm down now?
Dog: You better get me a kitten or I'm gonna chew this couch's arms right off!
Owner: Oh, you will, huh?
Dog: Now tell me what's going on!
Owner: Went to the pet store.
Dog: Yeah.
Owner: Saw the turtles –
Dog: OH COME ON!
(kitten meows in the background)
Dog: What...was...that?
Owner: Well, let me tell ya. You listening?
Dog: Yeah.
Owner: I went to the pet store. There were shelter kittens. So I picked one up.
(text onscreen says "pets need a pal to talk to")
Dog: Oh, no way! You got me a cat! Yeah! Oh! Oh! Oh! What does she look like? What does she look like?
Owner: You wanna go see her?
Dog: Um, yes. Yeah! Let's go!
(Owner stands up and follows dog into the next room; as the screen fades to black, the kitten mews and the dog says excitedly: "OH!")
