Plot
While cleaning the house after the pups made a mess, Dylan notices about his next-door neighbour Clarissa having a human doing chores, and he wishes that he had a human "pet" to do all of his chores for him. Dizzy and Dee Dee overhear, and decide to bring him one of whom they nicknamed "Mr. Fuzzy". They take him to 101 Dalmatian Street, much to Dylan's surprise as he tries to get him out of the house. He eventually warms up to the human and sees this as an opportunity to train him to do chores, but to no avail. The commotion from Mr. Fuzzy wakes Doug up, who discovers Dylan let a human into the house and he immediately lectures him. Later, after making a bigger mess of the household, Dylan follows his father's advice and brings him back "with his own kind".

Doug and Delilah are getting prepared for "Boom Night" by locking the house, and putting earmuffs on their children. They tell Dylan and Dolly to keep the pups safe as they head off to work. Dylan assists that he's in charge and commands the puppies to stay inside the house, but Dolly doesn't take him seriously and decides to hang out on the barge. Dorothy notices that Dolly left the door open as she left and follows her. When Dylan discovers that she's missing, he decides to leave the house to find her as Dolly arrives at the barge. Dylan finds Dolly and later spot Dorothy at the top of a building without any earmuffs. They attempt to save her by running up their building, but Dolly gets stuck in the entry to the top of the building. After she calls out a trigger word ("ball"), the onslaught of puppies is enough to break her free. When all the puppies land on the top, they realize that Boom Night isn't as bad as they thought as they are in awe at the fireworks, which was the source of the booming.

Dolly tries to impress her crush Hansel but is too nervous. She discovers that he is attracted to Dylan's poetry and begins repeating it to him as her own. Dylan finds out and decides to help her by feeding poetry to her while she is talking to Hansel. He becomes so impressed that he invites her to a slam poetry session. Dolly begins to perform, but cannot bring herself to continue copying her brother, so she invites him to perform while she goes into an impromptu rap poem, known as "Dolly's Rap". Hansel is nevertheless impressed and begins conversing with Dylan of whom he begins to admire.

When Dylan mocks Dolly for her hyperbolic stories, and irritates Dawkins by treating him like a sidekick, the two team up to get back at him by making him believe that aliens exist after Roxy mentions that her owners are setting up for an alien parade. Dawkins and Dolly make numerous clues towards Dylan by having him believe that aliens have taken over Camden Town. They soon realize that they went too far when Dylan sabotages the parade; sending himself, Dolly and Dawkins speeding through the park on a UFO float. They manage to land the space ship in the river and the trio apologize with Dylan going easy on Dolly's stories.

The dalmatians rent out a double decker bus and head out into the country, while singing a musical number called "Dogs Are Out for Summer Sun", which ends as a rain storm came out of nowhere, it stops when Dylan sets up his tent. Upon arriving, Dylan falls in love with a Border Collie named Summer and Dolly falls in love with a Doberman named Spike. They also meet a cow named Bessie who, after being insulted by Dylan, proceeds to do everything she can to ruin their day such as sending them all to certain doom with Dante being the only person aware of her misdeeds. They also encounter a "dumb" seagull named Chips who Dylan thinks was trying to eat Dorothy. Dylan obliviously continues to say negative things about "locals", upsetting Summer, but after getting help in rescuing Dizzy and Dee Dee from a cave, changes his tune and gets on Summer's good side. While Dylan, Summer, Dolly and Spike spend the night looking at the moon, the bus rolls down the hill and begins hanging off of a cliff.

Doug and Delilah proceed to use a life raft and jump off the bus so that it can roll back. They end up on a small island off shore and decide to take the opportunity to spend time alone, until another rain storm rolls in. Dolly and Spike find a boat and swim out to them, but a hole causes it to sink trapping them on the island with the parents. Dylan, Summer and Dawkins get up to the lighthouse and use Chips to bring the rope to the small island and then have Dylan ride his tent down to rescue them. They tie themselves and use the gale winds to fly back up, but the rope snaps and they fly high into the clouds past thunder and lightning. Nevertheless, they make it back safely. After spending the night, the dalmatians go home with Dylan and Dolly promising to see Summer and Spike again. As they leave, Dylan realizes that Bessie was trying to kill them this whole time.

On the hottest day of the year, the dalmatians head to the pond in the park, only to find it full of all of Camden's dogs. In order to hog it to themselves, Dylan and Dolly invent the legend of the Kraken that lives in it which scares everyone. Unfortunately, their siblings believe the story too and they refuse to believe Dylan and Dolly's truth. They resolve to "slay" the Kraken using a stuffed doll, with everyone realizing the whole thing was a hoax. The pond's owner, Sir Swan, comes back and kicks Dylan and Dolly out. Everyone instead uses the dalmatians inflatable pool, much to their irritation.
