Waffle the Wonder Dog

Evie pretends to be Waffle’s dog friend. She even wears a headband with doggy ears. Waffle loves it when they play together like this but Simon calls Evie for school - it is time to leave. Evie says her goodbyes together with Simon and Doug and she promises she will play with Waffle again later, when she returns home. Waffle is disappointed that his playmate has left but Jess cheers him up - she suggests they play doggy chase before she goes to work. Jess puts on doggy ears and chases Waffle on all fours into the bedroom where Jess’s mobile phone rings. It is Angela from the kennels, calling with news of a sad dog she wants Jess to examine. Jess assures Angela she will come right away and invites Waffle to join her. Waffle is very excited and when he arrives at the kennels with Jess, he still wants to play chase.

Waffle won’t move from his new doggy doormat because he loves it very much. Jess opens the door to reveal Gram and Grand have come to visit and Grand has made coconut cake for everyone plus a special cake for Waffle but Waffle won’t move from his doggy door mat to greet him. Gram and Grand discover that Waffle can talk and Evie tells them Waffle’s learning to read, too. Gram gives Waffle a congratulatory snuggle and Waffle loves it!

Waffle is banned from going anywhere near Sommersby School, so Gramps is at the Brooklyn-Bells’ house to cheer him up. Mrs Hobbs shouts over the garden fence from next door. She wants the barking and the “din” coming from the Brooklyn-Bells’ garden to stop. Mrs Hobbs accuses Gramps of nosing into her garden to see how a good dog like Jelly behaves but meanwhile, Jelly is trying to squeeze her way through a hole in the fence. Mrs Hobbs calls Waffle a “rascal” but Gramps informs her that Waffle is far too busy to be a rascal today – because he’s learning to read. Mrs Hobbs concedes that Waffle is an unusual dog but he’s not clever enough to read! Later, the Brooklyn-Bells settle on the sofa for a bedtime story read by Gramps, with help from Waffle. Waffle makes a mistake with his reading. He can’t read the word “hero” yet, but Waffle the Wonder Dog will always be the Brooklyn-Bells’ hero!

Evie finishes her reading book before school, so she can hand it in and bring a new book home later. Home alone, Waffle makes up a chant and dances around the house to the music. He spots Evie’s reading book! She’s accidentally left it behind and it needs to be handed in today. Waffle doesn’t know what to do. He could take the book to Evie, but he’s banned from school...

Evie and Waffle arrive home from school with Gramps for a playdate with Ruby and her dog, Jelly. Just as they’re all about to go inside the house, a delivery van arrives with shopping for Mrs Hobbs, next door.

Waffle isn’t allowed at school, so he’s being looked after by Connie, the Brooklyn-Bell’s neighbour, at her house. Connie has dressed as a dog and made a huge, doggy maze game from cushions and suitcases for her dog, Jelly, to race through with Waffle. Waffle asks for one more race through the maze at home but Jess explains that the time for noisy play is over and offers him a quiet cuddle instead. After dinner, Evie tells Jess she’s been given her first reading book at school and gets the book out of her school bag to show her Mum. Waffle sits next to Evie and watches her read. When he starts to say words from the book out loud, Evie wonders if he’s reading, but Jess and Simon refuse to believe it.

Mrs Hobbs supervises Waffle at the Brooklyn-Bell house. Waffle wants to join Evie at school and tries to escape. Later, the family look at photos and Evie asks about her birth dad.

It's the morning of Evie's first day at school and the Brooklyn-Bells are on schedule. But Waffle isn't happy as he is expecting his usual morning walkies. Doug tells Waffle that Gramps will be walking him today; he'll be coming to the house later. Waffle is insistent, he wants to walk to school with the rest of the family…now! Evie thinks it's a great idea. She's nervous about starting Reception and walking to school with Waffle will make her feel happy.

It's early in the morning after the Brooklyn-Bells have returned from holiday and there's someone banging on their front door. It's Mrs Hobbs and she's furious.

But Jess and Simon will be Mrs Hobbs' "knights in shining armour" - Sir Jess and Sir Simon - Brooklyn-Bells to the rescue!

During a face-to-face call with Waffle, the Brooklyn-Bells check their wonder dog is settling in and ensure he has his favourite snuggly toy with him, PegStar. Angela tries to settle Waffle but he whines, he’s missing his Brooklyn-Bell family and looks at their photo on the wall of his kennel. Angela resorts to calling the Brooklyn-Bells and explains that when dogs are very disruptive, she expects their owners, or someone they know, to pick them up. Jess has an idea – there’s someone who might be able to pick Waffle up in the morning - Mrs Hobbs!

It’s the eve of Waffle’s first Christmas with the Brooklyn-Bells. Mrs Hobbs is invited, and Gramps has knitted a Christmas jumper. Waffle learns about Santa and really wants to meet him.

When Jess takes Evie for her first school visit, Waffle goes along too - on the condition that he doesn't sing. He tries his best to behave, but it's hard for a Wonder Dog! On their walk to school, Jess and Evie bump into Connie Lester and her daughter Ruby. Ruby reveals that she will also be starting at Sommersby School too, in the year above Evie. Ruby enjoys stroking Waffle and tells Evie that she loves animals. She has a pet dog of her own, Jelly, a yellow labrador. Waffle introduces himself to Jelly, but decides Jelly is a grumpy dog. Meanwhile, there's a For Sale sign in Mrs Hobbs's front garden. Mrs Hobbs and George are moving house and leaving Maple Close forever.

Simon and Waffle put on a show for their excited guests, performing the amazing tricks Waffle has mastered. Next to arrive is Mr Meagre and his talking parrot, Pickles.

The Brooklyn-Bells are looking after the kitten from Jess's veterinary practice. When Waffle checks on the kitten, it's not in its bed. In fact, the kitten is nowhere to be seen. The Brooklyn-Bells don't see it disappear into the utility cupboard and through the tunnel to Mrs Hobbs's house next door. When Mrs Hobbs meets the kitten, she mistakes it for her beloved cat George. She falls in love with the kitten and doesn't want it to leave.

Waffle is unwell. He's in his pyjamas and under strict orders to stay in bed and rest. But poor Waffle can't get comfy. When he sees Evie and Simon playing in the garden, he feels left out and begins to woof and woof. Simon tells Waffle to rest quietly, but it's too late. The wonder dog's incessant barking has already disturbed Mrs Hobbs next door and, to make matters worse, like Waffle she's not feeling well either. Mrs Hobbs has a bad cold, and she's blaming it on the Brooklyn-Bells. She's convinced getting drenched in their ball-pit pond is the cause. The Brooklyn-Bells do chores for Mrs Hobbs to help her get better, and Jess brings home a surprise from work.

It's the hottest day of the year and Waffle is eating ice cream to cool down. Outside in the sweltering heat, Simon turns on the sprinkler to help everyone cool down, but poor Waffle doesn't like the sprinkler and darts through the hole in the fence to Mrs Hobbs's garden, looking for shade.

Maybe that will encourage him back?
