My Strange New Dog

(1) Zak: Listen
Hi, Michael. How are you?
(2) Michael: Listen
Hey, Zak. This is my [vocab word=new]new[/vocab] dog.

"This" is 1 thing. So, the be verb is "is".

(3) Zak: Listen
Oh, cool. It's a [vocab word=cute]cute[/vocab] dog.

It's = It is

(4) Michael: Listen
Thanks. I found him on the [vocab word=road]road[/vocab] yesterday.
(5) Zak: Listen
What's his name?
(6) Michael: Listen
Brody.

Brody is the name of the dog.

(7) Zak: Listen
That's a nice name.

That's = That is

(8) Michael: Listen
Thanks.
(9) Zak: Listen
Here, doggy, doggy. This is a [vocab word=delicious]delicious[/vocab] [vocab word=treat]treat[/vocab].

"doggy" is colloquialism. It means a "dog".

(10) : Listen
(Brody is silent)
(11) Zak: Listen
That's [vocab word=strange]strange[/vocab].
(12) Michael: Listen
Yeah. And his [vocab word=tail]tail[/vocab] is strange, too. It is always down.
(13) Zak: Listen
His [vocab word=ear]ears[/vocab] are so small.
(14) Michael: Listen
It doesn't matter. He is little and cute!

"It doesn't matter" = "I don't care", "It's OK."

(15) : Listen
(Brody growls)
(16) Zak: Listen
Wow. He is a [vocab word=shy]shy[/vocab] dog!
(17) Amy: Listen
Hey, Michael. What's up?

"What's up?" = "How are you?"

(18) Michael: Listen
Playing with my new dog. He's a strange fella but a nice [vocab word=guy]guy[/vocab].

"Playing with my new dog" is not grammatically correct. Michael didn't say "I am" - In formal language, it should be "I am playing with my new dog".

(19) Amy: Listen
You're nuts! That's not a dog. That's a [vocab word=wolf]wolf[/vocab]!

"nuts" means "crazy".
