Here's a season six episode I like simply known as "Lost and Foundling." The episode is about during a game of hide and seek, Odie hides in a crate and a garbage truck picks it up, and Odie ends up in the hands of a cute little girl named Becky (voiced by Jeannie Elias) who wants company with a puppy, much to her father's chagrin.
What this episode does right is that it had the capability to explore the different philosophies between a father and a daughter. This episode handled that sort of thing very well. At first, Becky's dad didn't want to have a dog, because dogs are a nuisance. I don't blame him because sometimes I don't like dogs either. But near the end he does change his mind because he overheard of how lonely Becky was because her dad was always going away on business. So after her dad learned her lesson, they send Odie back to Garfield's residence and Becky's dad decides to spend more time with her daughter, mainly because he has been away too much.
This episode is good. It's educational, funny, and all around relate-able to parents.
