SCENES: Rocco is a pet that Zoe thinks he is the best pet in the whole world. She sings also the song "He’s the Best Pet". Telly arrives and he likes the song very much. As Zoe tells that Rocco is singing, Telly rushes off to get his own pet.

Telly has a new pet now, a hamster. Her name is Chuckie Sue. Telly thinks that she is the best pet, athletic, funny, and can count to 20. But Zoe doesn’t believe that. She thinks that a hamster can not count. Zoe says that Rocco and Chuckie Sue were singing in their head. 

Telly and Zoe are disgusting whether a rock has a head. Elmo says hi to Chuckie Sye than to Rocco. As Elmo learns about Zoe’s and Telly’s argument about their pets, he brings his own pet, Dorothy. For Elmo, Dorothy is the best pet. She can swim, breathe underwater, and imagine Elmo as any animal.

Zoe claims that Rocco can imagine too and she tells Rocco to imagine all of them in a spaceship. But unfortunately, no one can see Rocco’s imaginations except Zoe. They pretend that is not good to argue, it can upset their pets and they decide to stop. But Telly says he can stop if they accept that Chuckie Sue is the best pet. 

As the argument continues, Baby Bear is coming in. He wants everyone’s attention. As he learns why they three arguing, he brings his own pet parrot, Ralphie. For Baby Bear, Ralphie is the best pet. He can make other animal noises.

Their argument is never-ending because they are feeling defensive towards their pets' honor. Maria is coming in and she says for every person is the best pet his own pet.
