SCENE 1 | Polly Darton and her Get Along Little Doggies are considering letting Barkley join their group. The dogs bark out a short rhythm for him to repeat, but Barkley just barks his own way. Savion and the kids try helping by repeating the rhythm as well, but Polly eventually decides that he's not cut out to be a country-western singer. Everyone leaves Barkley alone, and he successfully barks out the rhythm on his own will. |
