Transcript
Narrator: "Copper the Hound Dog enjoyed living in the vicarage orchard. Hercules came to see him everyday, but sometimes, Copper didn't have enough work to do."

Copper: "I do like to like to keep busy all the time."

Narrator: "He sighed one day."

Copper: "And I do like company, especially children's company."

Hercules: "Cheer up."

Narrator: "Smiled Hercules."

Hercules: "Mickey Mouse has work for you at his new harbor. I'm to take you to meet Pongo today."

Copper: "Oh!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Copper happily."

Copper: "A harbor! The seaside! Children! That will be lovely!"

Narrator: "Pongo was on his way to the harbor with a load of metal pilings. There were needed to make the harbor wall firm and safe."

Hercules: "Hello, Pongo."

Narrator: "Said Hercules."

Hercules: "This is Copper, a friend of mine. He's a hound dog."

Narrator: "Pongo eyed the newcomer doubtfully."

Pongo: "A what dog?"

Narrator: "He asked."

Copper: "A hound dog."

Narrator: "Exclaimed Copper."

Copper: "I walk on hunting trails instead of roads. Can you take me to the harbor, please? Mickey has a job for me."

Pongo: "Yes, of course."

Narrator: "Replied Pongo. But he was still puzzled.

Workmen gave Copper's cart to Pongo, and soon, they were ready to start their journey."

Copper: "I'm glad Mickey Mouse needs me."

Narrator: "Called Copper."

Copper: "I don't have enough to do sometimes, you know. Although, I can work anywhere. In orchards, on farms, in scrapyards, even at harbors."

Pongo: "But you don't run on the roads."

Narrator: "Puffed Pongo."

Copper: "I'm a hound dog. I don't need roads to be useful."

Narrator: "Replied Copper."

Copper: "You wait and see."

Narrator: "When they reached the harbor, they found everything in confusion. Pirates were blocking the roads, and stone slabs lay everywhere."

Pongo's Driver: "We must get these pilings past."

Narrator: "Said Pongo's driver."

Pongo's Driver: "They are essential. Copper, we need you to drag them around this mess."

Copper: "Just the sort of job I like."

Narrator: "Replied Copper."

Copper: "Now you'll see, Pongo. I'll soon show you what hound dogs can do."

Narrator: "Copper was as good as his word. He dragged the pilings clear with chains, and towed them into position."

Copper: "Who needs roads?"

Narrator: "He muttered cheerfully to himself.

Later, Pongo brought Abigail and Amelia to meet him. Pongo was most impressed."

Pongo: "Now I understand how useful a hound dog can be."

Narrator: "The ducks had lots of children. Copper gave them rides along the harbor. He liked this best of all."

Abigail: "He's very kind."

Narrator: "Said Abigail."

Amelia: "He reminds me of Pongo."

Narrator: "Added Amelia.

Everyone was sorry when it was time for Copper to go. Pongo took him to the junction.

A small tear came into Copper's eye. Pongo pretended not to see. He barked gaily to make Copper happy."

Pongo: "I'll come and see you if I can."

Narrator: "He promised."

Pongo: "Grimsby will look after you, and there's plenty of work for you now at the orchard. But we may need you again at the harbor someday."

Copper: "That will be wonderful."

Narrator: "Said Copper.

That evening, Copper stood remembering his new friend, Pongo, the harbor and most of all, the children. Then he went happily to sleep in the shed at the bottom of the orchard."
