Picture	Segment	Description
	COLD OPEN	What's the Word on the Street?: Veterinarian
	SCENE	Bob welcomes the viewer while taking Barkley for a walk. Elsewhere, Elmo meets up with Zoe, who's playing the "Rock and Roll" game with Rocco. She rolls him down the block, reaching the mailbox. Elmo tries and sends him further. Barkley, thinking it's a game of fetch, grabs Rocco with his mouth, frightening Zoe. Bob makes Barkley drop him and returns the sloppy, wet Rocco to Zoe. Zoe suddenly doesn't want to play around there anymore and runs off, with Elmo following, confused.
	SCENE cont'd	Over by Hooper's Store, Zoe finds the coast clear, until dog-walker Grover is dragged through by his dogs, forcing Zoe to run away again. The same happens by the Laundromat and Elmo discovers the pattern - Zoe is afraid of dogs.
	SCENE cont'd	Elmo confronts Zoe about her fear, who uses Rocco to mask her own fears. Elmo goes along with it and decides to help "Rocco" get over it. He runs off and brings back Tau and his dog, Puna, who wears a tutu just like Zoe. Rocco thinks the dog and tutu are cute, until Puna barks and frightens Zoe away.
	SCENE cont'd	Zoe hinds under the table, where Elmo fills Gina in on her problem. Being a veterinarian, Gina is an expert in dogs and shows Zoe how to properly meet a dog. Elmo pretends to be Gina's dog. First, Zoe must asks the owner to meet the dog. Then, she must make a fist and put it toward the dog's nose so it can sniff it. Rocco's not afraid of Doggy Elmo and applies the lesson to Barkley when he and Bob arrive. Zoe and Rocco are over their fear and holds Barkley's leash while they all go for a walk and sing "Walking the Dog." The entire street scene can be viewed on Sesamestreet.org. Template:SSvideo
