Doctor Penguin works in the emergency department at Hopscotch Children’s Hospital. He treats all the town’s sick and unwell children that need his help. This time, a young dog called George has hurt his eye! Dr Penguin knows who can lend a hand: Dr Owl the eye doctor (ophthalmologist). They treat George together using Dr Owl’s special tools and medicine and make sure he is safe to head home happy. Dr Penguin’s son Peter has a surprise for him when he returns home after his shift.
