The special begins with a flashback of Snoopy and his siblings being bought at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, including Lila getting Snoopy and taking him back. Also, that shows how Charlie Brown gets him for $5.00.
One day, Snoopy is homesick for his puppyhood at the farm, so he and Charlie Brown organize a reunion of his siblings Spike, Andy, Olaf, Marbles, Belle, Molly, and Rover. However, when they arrive there, Charlie Brown is aghast to find that the effects of population growth have replaced it with a five-storey parking garage.
Snoopy and his family, however, calmly begin to play musical instruments they've each brought, thoroughly satisfied that they are together on the sidewalk in front. The special ends with Snoopy using his doghouse to fly, but instead of hunting down the Red Baron, he uses it to take his siblings home.
Five of the siblings appeared at some point in the Peanuts comic strip. Molly and Rover were created for this special. Schulz did not consider material from the TV specials to be canonical in the world of the comic strip, so, although there are many instances where Snoopy mentions having seven siblings, officially these two have never been named.
