In his office at LuthorCorp, Lex Luthor built a robot dog he called A.R.F. (or Autonomous Robot Fido) and taught it anyone with a S shield was a threat that needed to be eliminated. He scolded A.R.F. for taking a ball off his desk during the presentation. He was distracted with a fire caused by his Monkey Bots in another room. A.R.F. spotted Krypto in the park down below and attacked him with his Kryptonite laser but missed and hit a squirrel instead. Krypto thought they were playing tic tac toe until A.R.F. burnt his tail. Krypto used freeze breath on his tail. A.R.F. noticed Krypto's ball and glitched, accepting Krypto as a friend. Engineer did some grilling in the park and turned one her hands into a pair of tongs. Krypto and A.R.F. sneaked into her cooler and took hot dogs for themselves behind her back. They used their lasers to heat their own hot dogs. Krypto used the bathroom. A.R.F. tried, too, but ended up chopping the tree with a red laser. Lobo was riding through Metropolis when A.R.F. used its magnet tail to catch his bike. Krypto clamped the front of his bike and tossed him around.
Krypto and A.R.F. howled at a moon on a Sleep Labs billboard. They dug around Metamorpho and Joey Mason's picnic, making a trench in the shape of a heart. Once the fire was out, Luthor saw A.R.F. down in the park playing with Krypto. He floated down using the rocket propulsion feature in his dress shoes then popped Krypto's ball. Krypto burnt his butt with heat vision, froze him, dug dirt on him, and chased him around. A.R.F. was conflicted but decided Luthor was a threat, not a friend. Together, they mashed him into the shape of a ball. He was tossed up into the air by A.R.F. then kicked by Krypto through a Sleep Labs billboard into the same elderly woman's apartment. Superman and Supergirl were later joined by Krypto and his new friend A.R.F. against the monster.
