action

Stan introduces his new dog, Sparky, to his friends Kenny, Kyle, and Cartman at the bus stop and claims he is the cruelest dog in South Park. After a little bet between Cartman and Stan, the children provoke a fight between Sparky and Sylvester to see who is actually the cruelest dog. However, the much more aggressive looking Sylvester is intimidated by Sparky when Sparky tries a sexual act with Sylvester. Shortly afterwards Stan is mocked by the boys and his dog is called a "gay mutt".

The children try to drive Sparky out of his homosexuality , but at the same time they have to prepare for the most important football game of the season, which they must not lose by more than 70 points. Sparky, who realizes that Stan wants to change him, runs away at the next opportunity. Stan, however, then looks for his dog and misses the start of the football game. During his search for Sparky, Stan comes across Big Gay Al , the place where all the homosexual animals gather. There he finds his dog again.

While Big Gay Al tries to bring Stan closer to homosexuality, the South Park players try to win the football game.
