Cartoon Synopsis:

Dog sitting Charkie is always a challenge, but it's especially difficult today when George really wants to practice his soccer kicks. Every time George comes up with a way of keeping Charkie tied up, Charkie comes up with a way of slipping out of her leash. It takes all of George's problem-solving skills to find a way to keep Charkie from running away until George discovers that she likes playing soccer, too.
