The kids and Fran are playing tag in the yard when a dog (Shadow) starts following them around. Fran stresses the importance of being wary of stray dogs, but this dog is friendly. They all play until it's time to go home. But the dog keeps following Kip. Kip's dad tries to find the dog's home, but with no luck. They take the dog to an shelter, where Kip says his sad goodbye to Shadow. Kip's mom and dad ask if he'll miss feeding the dog, taking it for walks, etc. Kip says yes, so they adopt Shadow.
