Is there a fox killing birds at Habitat? It looks like it, and Sonny and Dave investigate. Meantime, Skippy gets a fright – she has always been mates with Buster the dog belonging to Lou’s best friend, Elyse. Bu Buster is suddenly snarling at Skippy, and no-one knows why.
There’s another unhappy dog in the neighbourhood too – Honey, who is owned by a council worker. At the episode’s end, a sad truth has to be faced. Buster is the culprit with the birds – he has a brain tumour which is driving him mad with pain. That explains his behaviour, but he cannot be saved and has to be put down.
Elyse is very upset. But there’s a hopeful ending in sight – Honey is grumpy because she’s pregnant, and when he pups are born, Elyse ends up accepting one of them to replace Buster. Life is a cycle, after all.
