need name for an older episode
Not much to go on but I believe it's from the very earlier episodes where one of the gang has a litter of pups that he loses and he spends most of the episode looking for them but utlimately finds them near or inside a church. It's a real bittersweet episode because it reminded me of an experience as a kid when I lost and ultimately found my lost dog.
The kid wasn't Spanky, and I don't think Petey was a dog character yet. This generation of Our gang might have had Jackie Cooper and Chubbsy Ubbsy in it.
