{4721}{4780}My story begins|in London... {4784}{4849}not so very long ago. {4853}{4978}Yet so much has happened since then,|that it seems like an eternity. {4982}{5051}At that time,|I lived with my pet... {5055}{5149}in a bachelor flat|just off Regents Park. {5153}{5210}It was a|beautiful spring day, {5214}{5270}a tedious time of the year|for bachelors. {5274}{5372}Oh... that's my pet,|Roger Radcliff, {5376}{5445}a musician of sorts. {5449}{5497}I'm the one|with the spots. {5501}{5553}My name's Pongo. {5557}{5621}As far as I could see, {5624}{5700}the old notion that|a bachelor's life was so... {5704}{5769}glamorous and carefree|was all nonsense. {5773}{5861}It was downright dull. {6087}{6182}It was plain to see that|my old pet needed someone. {6186}{6282}But if it were left up to Roger,|we'd be bachelors forever. {6286}{6357}He was married to his work,|writing songs. {6361}{6407}Songs about romance...|of all things, {6411}{6487}something he knew|absolutely nothing about. {6552}{6636}Oh, he's intelligent enough,|as humans go. {6640}{6741}And I think you could say, Roger is|a rather handsome animal in his way. {6745}{6809}I could see no reason|why my pet... {6813}{6869}didn't deserve|an attractive mate. {6873}{6961}At least I was determined|to do my best. {7001}{7094}Of course, dogs are a pretty|poor judge of human beauty. {7167}{7245}But I had|a rough idea... {7249}{7313}of what|to look for. {7316}{7403}Hmm!|Unusual breed. {7427}{7520}Very unusual. {7561}{7625}Hmm!|Oh, surely not. {7659}{7731}Well now,|what have we here? {7735}{7791}Hmm. {7795}{7878}Well, a little...|too short coupled. {7882}{7927}Nope! {7931}{8035}I say!|Well, I do say! {8039}{8122}Now there's|a fancy breed. {8126}{8237}Hmm.|Perhaps a little too fancy. {8241}{8320}Yes, much too fancy. {8357}{8441}Too old.|Too young. {8486}{8614}It was a problem,|a realproblem. {8617}{8697}Well, now that's|a bit more like it! {8701}{8779}The most beautiful creature|on four legs! {8804}{8873}Now if only the girl... {8877}{8953}Well!|She's very lovely too. {8957}{9001}It was almost too good|to be true. {9005}{9089}I'd never find another pair|like that, {9093}{9162}not if I looked|for 100 years. {9166}{9231}Ah, they're heading|for the park. {9235}{9303}A perfect meeting place...|if I can only arrange it. {9307}{9413}Uh-oh... but Roger never|stopped work 'til after 5:00. {9417}{9463}That would be|too late. {9883}{9941}After 5:00 already. {9980}{10027}Fancy that. {10090}{10165}All right, Pongo.|All right, boy. {10761}{10805}Pongo, boy,|take it easy! {10809}{10871}What's all|the hurry? {11073}{11131}Pongo, boy,|slow down. {11459}{11556}I was afraid we'd missed them.|Perhaps they passed on by the park. {11560}{11609}Then suddenly...|I spotted them. {11613}{11693}It was a perfect situation|if I plannedit right. {11697}{11769}I couldn't depend on Roger.|I knew what he'd do. {11773}{11865}He'd settle on the grass, puff|his pipe and that would be it. {11869}{11962}No, it was all|up to me. {11966}{12027}Well. {12535}{12603}At first I had|no particular plan, {12607}{12659}just anything|to attract attention. {12663}{12730}You know,|stir things up a bit. {12787}{12839}Pongo,|you silly old thing! {12843}{12907}C'm on!|C'm on, let's have it, boy. {12910}{12961}Pongo! {13043}{13088}Pongo! {13267}{13337}For a while,|it seemed to work. {13341}{13409}At least they|had seen one another. {13413}{13478}Things were going along|first-rate. {13482}{13559}But for some strange reason|they left! {13640}{13723}C'mon, you old renegade.|We're going home. {13727}{13791}But I wasn't giving up. {13794}{13903}I was determined that somehow|they just had to meet. {13958}{14003}- Oh!|- Ohhh! {14007}{14073}I beg your pardon.|Please excuse me. {14077}{14139}I must say,|what on earth! {14143}{14188}- Oh, really.
