Quito was dry as a beige pterodactyl bone when Henry Mancini's very pink and instantly recognizable theme to Breakfast At Tiffany's, Moon River, started. (In fact, it was a massive hit song in the early 1960's when the movie came out. Just everybody knew it.) But more to the point, Quito needed to know who or what could aid him in getting out of this jam. So he was grateful for his Mancini-powered ESP to provide a little help. He wished he could break free by himself, but the leashes were just too strong and there were 7 hench-poodles plus our villain. Also, he knew that asking for help when needing it or accepting it when offered was good for the soul. And really, who would be impressed by a dog getting loose all by himself? Lord knows, they do it all the time anyhow.
So with Mancini's music playing on the TV, and the other dogs all working hard on their project, our dog used his ESP to find out who'd scare Wanda the most. He concentrated hard, real hard, to get into Wanda's brain and discover who'd really freak her out. When he felt her deepest fears, he barked "are you kidding me?" to himself. He just couldn't believe whom she was scared of. In fact, he actually felt like laughing at her for having this most silly fear. But he knew how mean it would be to laugh. He wouldn't like it if somebody laughed at him for being scared of something. He knew, for example, that some people are scared of the Wicked Witch from the Wizard Of Oz. It not nice for people or dogs to judge each other about their fears. So he just said to himself "whatever". But he also thought, "this explains a lot."
Then he went into his brain and concentrated on materializing the help...
He heard them singing from outside while marching.
Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!
We're here to save Quito,
Our furry friend,
From a dreadful end,
Heigh Ho!Heigh Ho!
And with that, the little door in the corner opened and marching down the stairs and into the room came the Seven Dwarfs ready to kick some poodle butt.
