Ep 9. Top Dog

Sunny Day season 1 episode 9, named "Top Dog," is a fun-filled adventure that focuses on the theme of competition. The episode centers around the annual Bow Wow Bonanza, a dog show where pups from all over the city compete in various contests to determine who is the ultimate "top dog."

Sunny, the talented and innovative hairstylist and entrepreneur, is excited to participate in this year's Bow Wow Bonanza. Her loyal and lovable dog, Doodle, will be competing in several categories, including Best Trick, Best Costume, and Most Obedient. Sunny is determined to help Doodle win in all three categories and is confident that her expertise in styling hair will give her an edge over the other contestants.

However, as Sunny and Doodle prepare for the show, they realize that they are up against some tough competition. One of the biggest challenges comes from Lacey, a snobbish and arrogant poodle who is considered the queen of the Bow Wow Bonanza. Lacey and her owner, Poppy, are determined to win every contest and become the top dog of the show. They mock Sunny's unconventional style and dismiss Doodle as a scruffy mutt who doesn't stand a chance.

Undeterred, Sunny and Doodle continue to practice their routines and perfect their costumes. They enlist the help of their friends, Rox, Blair, and Timmy, who all lend a hand in creating the perfect look for Doodle. Rox designs a stunning dress for Doodle to wear in the Best Costume category, while Blair helps Sunny brainstorm new tricks for Doodle to perform.

As the day of the Bow Wow Bonanza arrives, the tension is palpable. Sunny and Doodle arrive at the competition grounds, which are filled with barking dogs, excited owners, and colorful tents. They meet up with their friends and are excited to see all the other contestants in their outfits and gear. Lacey and Poppy are there too, looking sharp in their matching designer outfits and wigs.

The contests begin one by one, and Sunny and Doodle are called up for the first category, Best Trick. Doodle performs a flawless backflip, which wows the judges and impresses the crowd. Lacey follows and performs a basic sit, which gets a lukewarm response from the audience. Sunny is thrilled and thinks that they have a good chance of winning.

Next up is the Best Costume category, and Doodle struts her stuff in the dress Rox designed. The judges love her adorable look, and the crowd cheers loudly. Lacey, on the other hand, is dressed in an elaborate gown that barely lets her move. She trips on her way to the stage and rips her dress. The judges are unimpressed, and Poppy looks embarrassed and angry.

The final category is Most Obedient, and Sunny is nervous. She knows that Doodle can be a bit stubborn and unpredictable at times. However, she is determined to do her best. Doodle follows her commands and performs all the required tasks, including sitting, staying, and coming back. Lacey follows suit, but her attitude is haughty and dismissive.

After all of the contests are over, it's time for the awards ceremony. Sunny and Doodle sit nervously as the judges announce the winners. They start with the third place in each category, and Sunny and Doodle win it in both Best Trick and Best Costume. Lacey and Poppy are furious but keep their cool. As they announce the winner of Most Obedient, Sunny and Doodle hold their breath. When the judges announce that they have won first place, Sunny is speechless. She jumps up and down, hugging Doodle, while their friends and the audience cheer.

The episode ends with Sunny and Doodle taking a victory lap around the show arena, proudly holding their trophies. Lacey and Poppy leave in a huff, and Sunny and her friends celebrate their win with ice cream and treats. The message of the episode is clear: hard work, creativity, and determination can help you overcome even the toughest competition. And sometimes, it's the underdog who comes out on top.
