My story begins
in London...
:03:11
not so very long ago.
:03:14
Yet so much has happened since then,
that it seems like an eternity.
:03:19
At that time,
I lived with my pet...
:03:22
in a bachelor flat
just off Regents Park.
:03:26
It was a
beautiful spring day,
:03:28
a tedious time of the year
for bachelors.
:03:30
Oh... that's my pet,
Roger Radcliff,
:03:35
a musician of sorts.
:03:37
I'm the one
with the spots.
:03:40
My name's Pongo.
:03:42
As far as I could see,
:03:44
the old notion that
a bachelor's life was so...
:03:48
glamorous and carefree
was all nonsense.
:03:50
It was downright dull.
:04:03
It was plain to see that
my old pet needed someone.
:04:07
But if it were left up to Roger,
we'd be bachelors forever.
:04:11
He was married to his work,
writing songs.
:04:14
Songs about romance...
of all things,
:04:16
something he knew
absolutely nothing about.
:04:22
Oh, he's intelligent enough,
as humans go.
:04:25
And I think you could say, Roger is
a rather handsome animal in his way.
:04:29
I could see no reason
why my pet...
:04:32
didn't deserve
an attractive mate.
:04:34
At least I was determined
to do my best.
:04:40
Of course, dogs are a pretty
poor judge of human beauty.
:04:46
But I had
a rough idea...
:04:49
of what
to look for.
:04:52
Hmm!
Unusual breed.
:04:57
Very unusual.
