Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	At the Fix-It Shop, Kerri welcomes the viewer as Maria finishes fixing a radio. Telly becomes concerned that Maria is "hurting" the radio with her screwdriver, but Maria and Kerri remind him what it means when something is "alive." She turns the radio on and finds that it's tuned to a canine station: WUFF Radio, where reporters Terry Terrier and Annie Afghan give a shout-out and thanks to the folks at the Fix-it Shop for their recent explanation on what's alive.

	SCENE 2	Maria explains to Telly that a radio isn't the same as television since it has no picture. Kerri notes that the two aren't much different to her since she's blind. They all tune in to WUFF to listen to today's broadcast of "Puppy Dog Tales," which features the story of Old Mother Hubbard. As Terry Terrier narrates, Telly uses his imagination to picture the story. At the nursery rhyme's conclusion, a second announcer (Martin P. Robinson) chimes in with a happy ending: Mother Hubbard had a box of Fido's Favorites (the program's sponsor) in her other cupboard, which inexplicably makes Telly become hungry for the product as well.

	SCENE 3	At the WUFF station, Terry Terrier and co-host Annie Afghan introduce a game of "Name That Sound," which Telly decides to participate in. He calls 1-800-BOW-WOW and he and Kerri have to identify the sounds of three things dogs like to chase. They are able to guess the first two as a firetruck and a cat, but the third sound of barking and crashing noises stumps them. Terry reveals that the last sound was Annie chasing her tail (wrecking the studio in the process). Telly doesn't mind not winning the prize since it was a rawhide chew-bone.
