Hi, welcome to Elmo's World.

Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?

Wait for it, wait for it. (gently chiming music)

(Elmo laughs)

A dog walker.

Oh, look, Grover is walking the doggies.

(Elmo laughs)

Looks like the doggies are walking Grover. (laughs)

Boy, Elmo wants to learn more about dog walkers.

Oh, let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.

Let's call her together.

Oh, Smartie! - [Kids] Oh, Smartie!

♪ Ruff ruff ruff ruff, ruff ruff ruff ruff ♪

♪ Ruff ruff ruff ♪

(Elmo laughs)

- Oh, look, a doggy!

Oh, hi, doggy.

- Oh, no, Elmo, it's me, Smartie.

- What?

- I'm just pretending to be a dog. (barks)

(Elmo laughs)

- That's perfect, Smartie,

because Elmo wants to learn more about dog walkers.

- Well, what do we do to learn something new?

- [Group] We look it up!

- Getting a lead on dog walkers, here we go.

(slow music)

Dog walkers are people who walk dogs when a dog owner can't.

Dog walkers make sure that dogs get their exercise.

Some dog walkers walk one dog at a time,

and others walk lots of dogs.

Dog walkers know a lot about dogs,

and sometimes they take them to a dog park,

where they can play with other dogs. (laughs)

Look at all those doggies.

- Wow, dog walkers are really helpful.

- You betcha!

Well, gotta go, Elmo, it's time for my walk.

(Elmo laughs)

- Thank you, Smartie, bye-bye.

Boy, dog parks look like a lot of fun.

Hey, (laughs) that gives Elmo an idea.

Let's play a game together.

Yeah, (laughs) come on, come on.

(slow orchestral music)

(Elmo laughs)

It's time for the doggies to go home.

Let's see if we can find them all.

Are you ready?

Let's play!

(upbeat music)

Now, where could a doggy be hiding?

- [Kids] Behind the tree!

- [Child] Look, behind the tree!

- [Elmo] Yay, (laughs) yes, it's a poodle!

(poodle barks)

Okay, that's one doggy, are there any more?

Oh, could it be up here?

(children laughing)

- [Kids] Doggies don't climb trees, that's a cat.

(cat meows) (Elmo laughs)

- How about there?

Yay, we did it!

(dog barks)

Bye bye, doggies.

Aw, Elmo loves doggies.

Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.

Oh, does Mr. Noodle walk his poodle, Schmoodle? (laughs)

Come on, let's ask him.

Hey, Mr. Noodle?

Oh, (laughs) it's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle.

Hi, Mr. Noodle.

Mr. Noodle, do you walk your doggy?

You do, oh, show us how, Mr. Noodle.

- [Kids] Yeah!

- [Child] Show us how.

- [Child] You're not walking the dog.

- [Elmo] Schmoodle is walking you, Mr. Noodle.

Okay, okay, Elmo will give you a hint, okay?

The leash needs to be on Schmoodle.

Whoa. (laughs)

That's better, wait a minute, wait a minute, hold the phone.

That is not right.

- [Child] Schmoodle's not walking, he's sitting.

- You're getting exercise, Mr. Noodle, not Schmoodle.

Oh, boy, try again, Mr. Noodle, whoa.

(Schmoodle barks)

That's right, Mr. Noodle, good job.

Wow, (laughs) bye, Mr. Noodle.

Boy, (laughs) learning new things makes Elmo so happy,

it makes him want to dance, come on!

♪ Happy, happy dance, dance ♪

♪ Happy, happy dance, dance ♪

♪ When we learn something new we do the happy dance, yeah ♪

Let's see your happy dance.

Yeah, cool, see you next time.

Keep learning, Elmo loves you.

♪ Happy, happy dance, dance ♪

Oh, hi, Elmo and Tango are having a puppy play date
