  • Spot realizing at the end of "Being Mrs. Leadready" that Mrs. Helperman is his mom in a way, and that Leonard is basically his brother.
  • In "Dogfight", while the 4th graders are understandably disappointed that Scott and Leonard lost a basketball game to the 5th graders by one point, they're still impressed that they almost won. The cool kids even congratulate them on their near victory.
    Leonard: Wow, we almost beat them. Who would had thought that losing would feel this good?
    Scott: I gotta admit, it's a new one on me.
  • The musical number, "It's the Season of Love", from the episode "A Dog for All Seasons". Spot is miffed with the annual Christmas Play because Leonard gets the role that nobody likes (as it has just one line) and because he finds it not inclusive enough, and the principal (who happened to play that role and has a deep attachment to it) dares him to write something better instead. So he does... but he also includes the line the principal mentioned. Even better, while listening to it, everyone but the principal likes it, until said line turns up at which point the principal is in tears.
  • In "One Dog's Junk", after Spot's Squeeky Burger Toy is accidentally sold at the Helperman's yard sale, both Pretty Boy and Mr. Jolly feel bad about Spot's dilemma decide to buy him a new one online after they both obtained money from selling stuff online. It doubles a funny moment when they both try to outbid each other at separate times, not knowing that they're both trying to buy it (thinking that the other would be too selfish to use their money to help Spot)
    Pretty Boy: Spot, my canine compadre, your Squeeky Burger Toy is as good as replaced.
  • In "Attack of the 50 Inch Girl", after Spot and Leonard leave school early after getting picked on by the new girl, Fred, Mr. Jolly tells them a story about how he had a bully of his very own who used to pick on him, until one day, he stood up to the bully and offered that they be friends instead. The bully in question? Pretty Boy. While the canary is clearly surprised and miffed that the cat saw him as a bully, Jolly offers him a hug, proclaiming that he'll help him heal the wound inside, because he loves him for who he is.
  • "A Boy Needs a Dog" from the movie. The Triumphant Reprise takes it up to eleven.
  • "Pet Project" ends on a sweet note with Pretty Boy and Mr. Jolly walking off into the sunset and Pretty Boy singing to Mr. Jolly when asked to.
  • The end of "The Turkey That Came to Dinner", where Spot, Pretty Boy and Mr. Jolly end up getting close to Grandma Rose and she discovers that she isn't allergic to them after all, prompting her to happily embrace the family pets.
  • The scene in "The Blight Before Christmas" where Spot finds out that Moby Dog has found a mate and learns that she is about to give birth. One of the resulting puppies gets close to Spot and the parents decide to name that particular pup Spot, which deeply touches his namesake.
