Scooby-Doo then hides in a sandcastle and Shaggy talks with the castles as his friends. He explains that he basically does everything alone as he does not have friends. Scooby-Doo comes out of the sand and shocks Shaggy who offers him sandwiches. Scooby-Doo offers him his stolen meat in return. The police officer arrives and tells Shaggy that the stray dog is creating havoc and he has to take him away. Shaggy says that he is not a stray dog. Officer asks the dogs’ name to which Shaggy replies with a made up name, Scooby-Dooby-Doo, which eventually becomes the character name. The Police officer leaves and the two becomes friends.
