It's the Fourth of July in Green Lawn, and the mayor is having a special contest--the person whose pet has the best Independence Day costume gets to be mayor for a day. Bradley, Brian, Nate, and Lucy transform Polly the pony into Thomas Jefferson and Pal the dog into the Declaration of Independence. But when the pet parade rolls around, the animals are nowhere to be found. Can the kids find their dressed-up pets and calm them down before the Fourth of July fun begins?
