Felix, a puppet of a dog with floppy ears and brown and white fur wearing a yellow T-shirt with blue and white stripes and a blue hoodie, stands in front of a row of three-storey buildings on a street.

Felix says, IS THERE A DOCTOR
IN THE HOUSE?

Annie, a puppet of a pig with shaggy orange hair wearing a pink dress, looks out a window in one of the buildings.

Annie says, YES, AND HE'S A MOUSE.
