A Dog's Life is the seventh episode of the second season and overall the twenty-eighth episode of Shining Time Station.

Plot

At Shining Time Station, Ginny Johnson arrives at the station to drop off some stuff, noting to Stacy that her dog has gone missing since this morning. Before leaving she gives Kara, Dan and Becky some apples from her farm where they later sit with Mr. Conductor as he tells a story about James and his accident with some tar trucks.

Meanwhile in the arcade, Schemer is setting a nickel trap in his jukebox as numerous times he's seen people putting nickels in the jukebox and yet finds the deposit box empty. Inside the jukebox, Tito Swing sees the nickel and grabs it despite the bands protest to let go. Soon a tug-of-war occurs between Schemer and the Jukebox gang, ending with both sides losing the nickel. Fed up, Schemer decides to crank up security at his arcade to prevent any more nickels thefts.

Sometime later, Schemer has rigged the arcade with tripwires, an alarm system with a camera, a net and a guard dog which he tells Stacy that he just found.
