Beethoven (film)[]
As a puppy, Beethoven was originally in the care of a Doktor Pet Centre in Valley Vista, until someone would adopt him.
Unfortunately, not many people seemed to be interested in adopting him, and when they were, he would put them off.
Later that night, two crooks broke into the pet centre stealing all the dogs including Beethoven who managed to escape from their van with help from another dog named Sparky.
Lost and alone, Beethoven wandered around a neighbourhood before falling asleep in a knocked over garbage can.
The next morning, Beethoven is woken up by garbage men grabbing garbage and begins exploring the neighbourhood eventually ending up at the Newton's residence where he sees George who is annoyed at the newspaper boy for sloppily delivering his newspaper which got blown all over the front yard.
Beethoven went into the house unnoticed by George.
