Tito has been taking care of a stray dog which he found in the park and the dog has become his pet. However, Tito's parents do not want a dog in the house and are making him return the dog to the park.
Maya and Miguel, being good friends, do not want to see Tito sad. So, they come up with a plan to convince Tito's parents to let him keep the dog. Maya and Miguel tell Tito to write a letter to his parents and express his feelings about taking care of the dog. Tito writes a heartfelt letter and gives it to his parents.

But a new problem arises as Tito's family cannot afford to take care of the dog's needs and they do not know anything about taking care of dogs properly. So Maya and Miguel team up with their veterinarian friend, Dr. Hernandez, and organize a fundraiser to help Tito's family take care of the dog.
Maya and Miguel's idea for the fundraiser is to sell homemade dog treats that they make themselves. They use recipes that they find online and in dog cookbooks. The fundraiser is a huge success and they make enough money to buy all the necessary supplies for Tito's new pet.
In the end, Maya and Miguel's kind deeds and hard work pay off as Tito's family is able to properly take care of the dog, and Tito is very happy with his new furry friend.
Overall, season 2 episode 5 of Maya & Miguel, "Tito's Pet," is a heartwarming story about friendship, love for animals, and the importance of standing up for what you believe in.
