==Synopsis==

== Summary ==
  +
The episode opens with the Russo kids and a goat. It's shown that they used a spell to turn their dad into a goat. They change him back. An angry [[Jerry]] punishes them with more studying. After he leaves the basement, [[Alex]] opens a briefcase to reveal a laptop that sells magical objects. She tries to find clothes but then summons a store that sells pet [[Dragon|dragons]]. Justin finds a "dog" in the store and wants it. The shopkeeper tries to sell it to them and gives Max a roll of quarters to stop him from being annoying. He says that it's a dragon dog that has been enchanted as a disguise. Justin hesitates after remembering the last time he had a dog. Alex complains that he's going to cry. Justin said that when he was 7, he had a dog that got lost. Alex just buys the dog and the store dematerializes. The dog burns Alex's homework by accident.
Alex gets Justin a new dog which is actually a dragon which she got from the World Wide Wiz Web. Only Alex, Max and Justin knew that it is a dragon. Alex lies about the dog to her parents telling them that she found it wandering alone in Waverly Place. To make sure that her plan is working just fine, she put up fliers that she has found a dog. But the dragon seller, from whom she bought the dragon from, claimed the dog and cheating the trio. Alex retrieves the dog back from the dragon seller, after changing Max into a dog to get in, and outdumbing him as the dragon seller actually took a real dog.

The next scene shows Alex coming home and showing Justin the dragon dog. Justin complains that he doesn't want it. Alex and Justin argue about when they're parents will find out. Alex just says that they can just lie and say that it's still a dog. Justin still remembers about his past dog. Alex confesses that she let the previous dog out and her parents covered it up. Justin starts playing with the dragon dog. Their parents come in and ask why a dog's around. Jerry starts petting him. Alex says that the dog might be lost and wants to put up fliers. Justin complains that Alex is playing with his emotions. Alex tells him to get over it. Jerry and Theresa keep playing with the dog and name it "Dragon", which scares the kids for a moment.
