Ep 18. Space Buddies Forever! / Liv Long and Pawsper

In "Space Buddies Forever! / Liv Long and Pawsper", the 18th episode of Doc McStuffins season 3, viewers are introduced to a new toy named Liv Long, a brave astronaut action figure with her loyal sidekick, Pawsper, an alien space dog.

The episode begins with Doc and her friends playing in the park, when Liv Long and Pawsper suddenly crash-land their spaceship in a nearby toybox. The toys rush to their aid and bring them back to Doc's clinic for a check-up. Liv Long shares that she and Pawsper have been on many space adventures together, but lately, Pawsper has been feeling sick and she's not sure why.

As the toys work to find a cure for Pawsper, Liv Long shares stories of their space adventures and the challenges they faced together.

Liv Long and Pawsper join in the fun, and Pawsper starts to feel better as he eats healthy snacks instead of space rocks. Doc is thrilled to see her toys bonding and having fun together, and makes a special Space Buddies Forever photo album to commemorate the event.

The episode ends with Liv Long and Pawsper bidding farewell to Doc and the toys, promising to come back and visit. Doc reflects on the importance of friendship and how it can make even the toughest challenges easier to navigate. The episode serves as a reminder to viewers of all ages about the value of true friendship and the magic of imaginative play.
