"Dog's Day Afternoon" is the sixth episode of Season 1.
Synopsis[]
Timmy gets jealous when he sees how nicely Vicky treats her obnoxious, weenie dog, Doidle and wishes that he and the pooch could switch places. Poof! Timmy’s brain and the dog’s brain switch bodies. Two problems: One, since Cosmo and Wanda don’t speak dog, Timmy can’t wish himself back to normal. And two, this is the day Vicky is taking Doidle to be fixed! Timmy must figure out a way to convince the dog to wish himself back to normal, before he ends up in the painful clutches of the fix-happy Dr. Snipowitz.
Plot[]
It is nighttime at the Turner's House, and Mr. and Mrs. Turner are going out of the house for the night. Vicky waves to them from the second-floor window, while Timmy screams to them "No! Don't leave! Take me with you!". Vicky shoves Timmy down, and from Mr. and Mrs. Turner's vantage point, it looks like she is petting him and complimenting him. After Timmy's parents drive off, it is revealed that she is actually doing to this to her pet dog, Doidle. Timmy groans to Wanda and Cosmo that every time she brings Doidle over, she treats her dog better than him. Vicky hands Timmy a list of chores to do from his parents, but Timmy points out that it was in her handwriting and the tasks all involve Doidle. Vicky says her hand can also make a fist, and she tells Timmy to get moving.
Timmy and Doidle swap brains. (Timmy's is the smaller one)
Timmy is forced to walk Doidle in the pouring rain while holding an umbrella over him. Vicky calls Doidle in for dinner, while Timmy gets struck by lightning. At the dinner table, Vicky places a juicy steak down on the dinner table in front of Timmy. He is about to eat it when she knocks him aside and tells him that it is for Doidle. Timmy is forced to eat a frozen TV dinner, which Doidle steals and eats from him as well, leaving Timmy with just the plastic to gnaw on. Later, Vicky is reading a magazine in the living room while Timmy is upstairs in his room, filing Doidle's nails. Timmy is tired of being Doidle's dog, then it occurs to him that if he took Doidle's place, Vicky would treat Timmy like Doidle. Wanda thinks it's a good idea and Timmy mentions advantages that dogs have like they have a better sense of smell and can see in black and white and can urinate wherever they want whenever they want, Cosmo says he can urinate like that too but he doesn't because he's polite, Timmy decides he wants to be a dog and tells Cosmo and Wanda that he wishes to be in Vicky's dog's place, Cosmo and Wanda wave their wands and grant the wish, Timmy's little brain and Doidle's big brain (which acts like a dog's tongue) switch bodies, Timmy adapts perfectly to being a dog and is excited to see that he has dog eyesight, then Vicky arrives and sends Doidle to bed and Doidle runs on all fours while barking and sticking out his tongue, Vicky is confused by seeing Doidle acting like a dog without knowing that Timmy and Doidle have switched bodies but she ignores him and focuses on Timmy, she tells him to come with her, Timmy jumps into her arms, Vicky tells him he's a good boy and takes him to the living room, Doidle climbs into Timmy's bed, runs in circles on it and lies down to sleep like a dog.
In the living room, Vicky tells Timmy to tell her that he loves her, Timmy takes advantage of the fact that he is a dog and that Vicky can only hear him barking and begins to insult her happily, Vicky believes that he told her that he loves her and hugs Timmy with honey and tells him that it must be incredible to be a dog and Timmy laughs being happy to be a dog, in his room, Timmy happily eats his homework while Cosmo and Wanda watch him, then Timmy sees Vicky's teen magazine and urinates on it, in the living room, Timmy watches TV while eating ice cream from the tub with his face on it, Vicky arrives squeezing her teen magazine and tells Timmy that he could bite what he wanted, urinate wherever he wanted and eat whatever he wanted because tomorrow is Doidle special day: the day Doidle is getting taken to the vet to get fixed. Timmy freaks out and runs to Cosmo and Wanda who are in their fishbowl. He tries to tell them what is going on, but they can only hear him barking. Timmy's parents return home, and Vicky drags Timmy off, leaving Cosmo and Wanda with Doidle stuck in Timmy's room. Wanda sends Cosmo to go follow Vicky and Timmy while she stays behind and watches over Doidle. Cosmo begins to tear up and doesn't want to be separated from Wanda, since they've never been apart since their wedding, but she reminds him they have to look out for Timmy first. Cosmo brags that he married the smart one, while Wanda cheers that she married the cute one.
At Vicky's House, she is tending to her pets: Happy the Goldfish, Chipper the Cat, and Ginny the Parrot, all of them who look like they've seen happier days. Chipper walks over to Timmy and asks if Vicky gave him a steak, laughing at him when Timmy replies she did and only making him more nervous. A flea bounces over to Timmy and he sees that it is Cosmo. Timmy tries to talk to his fairy godfather but Cosmo still can't understand him and jumps on Timmy's backside to set up camp. Cosmo wants to call some of his old friends attempting to be optimistic, but he realizes that he has nobody to call, so as a result, he starts to cry because he misses Wanda. Back at Timmy's house, Wanda finally has time to write a romance novel for the ages. The next morning, Timmy's parents call him to breakfast and Doidle excitedly scrambles into the kitchen yelling "Food!" over and over, burying his face into his bowl of cereal. His mother thinks he is just hungry, but his father says that is how all the kids are eating their cereal and tries to mimic it to be "hip".
The school bus pulls up and Doidle runs out of the kitchen to chase it. He gets to the school and starts to do weird things like sniff A.J.'s behind and drink from the toilet bowl. Francis walks into the boy's bathroom just then and Chester remarks to him that Timmy is tougher because he is drinking from out the toilet, so Francis starts to do the same to prove he is tougher. Chester and A.J. join in as well. Outside the school, Wanda is chatting with some of her Fairy friends in a tree and they tell her that their godchildren switched places with animals too. One of the fairies says their godchild "Sophie" switched with a frog and Wanda remarks, "Don't they dissect those?" causing her friend to panic and poof away. Wanda decides to go check on Timmy. Chester and A.J. are wondering why Timmy is acting so strange, Doidle catches a Frisbee with his mouth and then sees that they hit a baseball so he goes to catch it, Wanda sees him and goes for him while her friend holds Sophie who is still in the body of a frog and attached to a tray, she asks Wanda if doing that isn't easy, then the frog in Sophie's body passes in front of them jumping and croaking happily.
Doidle, in Timmy's body, excitedly wants to chase the school bus.
At the Dimmsdale Veterinarian Clinic, Vicky and Timmy are waiting when they are called in by Dr. Snipowitz, who brings them into his surgery room where he shows Vicky all the horrible weapon tools he uses to fix pets. Cosmo notices that Timmy is about to get fixed and asks him why he didn't say something, getting a growl in response. Timmy bites Dr. Snipowitz's leg and he drops the snip-master 8000, breaking his leash and allowing Timmy to escape out of the window. Timmy sniffs around while Cosmo trails him and points in the direction of Doidle with Wanda not far behind him. Cosmo calls over and waves to Wanda, so when she looks to smile back it causes her to crash face-first into a light post, while Doidle and Timmy run into the entrance to Dimmsdale Park nearby. Cosmo happily rushes over and greets a dazed Wanda and asks her if she missed him multiple times and carries on explaining his day without her, but she grabs him by the throat and says she did. Inside the park, Doidle is chasing a ball when Timmy puts his paw over it and confronts him. Timmy asks Doidle in barks to speak out the words to wish them back to normal, but Doidle refuses, saying that he can understand dog perfectly and that he was just being a jerk and wants to stay a human because he has opposable thumbs.
Timmy attacks Doidle while Cosmo and Wanda watch on. Cosmo is more concerned about talking his and Wanda's time apart from each other and gets jealous when she keeps talking about Timmy and not him. His jealousy gives Wanda an idea and she transforms into a pretty poodle, causing Doidle to run over to her and start trying to pick her up. Wanda says that she has a toy bone for a real dog to chew on, but it can't be Doidle because he is just a boy with a silly pink hat, and she goes over to Timmy causing him to become envious. Doidle shouts out that he wishes that he was a dog again and Cosmo changes Timmy and Doidle's bodies and returns them to normal. Doidle, now back in his original body, barks at Wanda and tries to flirt with her, but she says that she is happily married and poofs away. Doidle beings barking angrily, but Timmy wishes for the dog to have a muzzle and be trapped in a small cage. Vicky finds Doidle squashed and helpless and brings him to the vet to be fixed.
That night, Timmy is watching television with an unhappy Doidle when Vicky introduces her new pet hamster, Spunky, and then feeds him a juicy steak. Knowing that this means Vicky's going to get him fixed, Timmy and his fairies nearly tell Spunky what's going to happen, but he greedily defends his steak, thinking they want to steal it from him, so Timmy declares "He can find out on his own" and he, Cosmo, and Wanda laugh. The episode ends as a narrator tells the audience "It's all over now, folks. Haha, why am I laughing?"

Trivia[]
- Wanda's writing her novel on a typewriter is likely a parody of the Peanuts cartoons where Snoopy writes his novel on a typewriter.
- It is commonly believed that dogs see the world in black and white due to their color blindness. However, what "color blindness" really means is that they are incapable of distinguishing certain colors or shades of colors.
