[ Alarm Continues ]

I'm trying! Aaah!

[ Alarm Buzzing ]

[ Whining ]

[ Whimpering ]

Oh, no! I'm stuck!

- [ Barking ]

- Hurry! Here he comes!

- Hurry up, Chance!

- Aaah! It's choking me!

- You come back to Daddy. Come on.

- No!

- Come on.

- Get off of me! Shadow!

- [ Barking ]

- I ain't goin'back.! No.! No way.!

- [ Fierce Barking ]

- [ Gasping ]

Yes!

- [ Sighing ]

- If I didn't know better, I'd think they'd planned this.

Oo-ee-oo-ah-ah

Ting-tang-walla-walla, bing-bang

You know, if you hadn't made those

flyers, we'd probably never find them.

Well, it was a long shot,

but we got lucky.

- I told the witch doctor I was

in love with you - Bum-bum-bum

[ Chance ] Boy, Shadow,

the way you nailed that vet.

- You're a regular action figure.

- Oh, it was nothing...

next to you trippin'

that big guy, splat!

- [ Sassy ] Ahem, not to mention.

- Yeah, Sassy the super cat.

I was in love with you

Bum-bum-bum-bum

And then the witch doctor

he told me what to do

He said that

oo-ee-oo-ah-ah

Ting-tang

Walla-walla-bing-bang

Sure, cats are agile,

but dogs have brute strength.

- [ Sassy ] Well, that may be, but-

- Hey, hang on just a minute.

- Come on. Let's go, guys.

- No, wait.

- What is it, Shadow?

- I don't know. I got a funny feeling all of a sudden.

Like something's telling me

to go back the other way.

- Strange, huh?

- What, back to the pound? What is he, crazy?

[ Shadow ]

Yeah, you're right.

[ Narrator ] Shadow and Sassy

had risked their lives for me.

I never knew I'd

have friends like that.

The feeling was all

very new to me.

I liked it.

[ Thunderclap ]

I'm sorry this worked

out this way, sir.

Yeah, me too.

Thanks.

Let's keep looking, Mom.

They werejust here.!

Honey,

that was hours ago.

I mean, they could be

miles away by now.

Listen to me, the people here have

promised to do everything they can.

And, and they'll call us

the minute they get word.

We came so close

to gettin' 'em back.

[ Bob ]

At least we know they're alive.

If the animals made it this far,

they might make it all the way home.

- [ Peter ] Shadow.!

- We can't give up.

Shadow!

Shadow!

[ Chance ] We goin' in circles?

That tree smells familiar.

- Of course it does. It's pine.

- Oh.

[ Gasp ]

Hurry up!

Oh, look, you guys.

We made it!

Wow! Shadow, this is incredible.

You were right all along.

Oh, isn't that the most

beautiful sight you ever saw?

Come on, you two,

let's go home.

[ Narrator ] Even now I don't

really know how he did it.

But there we were,

finally...

looking down at the road

that would lead us home.

[ Shadow ]

Home is just beyond these tracks.

We should be there

before dark.

- [ Sassy ] I've heard that before.

- Just be very careful.

[ Train Horn Blowing ]

[ Train Horn Blowing ]

Come on, you two. Watch carefully

where you're going. Look both ways.

- Stay with me. Hurry up.

- Not so fast.

Come on, hurry up.

Come on! Come on!

I'm coming!

Wait up!

You all right, Sass?

Me? I laugh at danger.

Me too, but I'll laugh later.

Let's get outta here.

I'm so sick of nature

I could puke.

After this I intend to live

indoors on a velvet cushion...

filled with bird feathers and be served

filet of mouse on a silver platter-

All right, Sassy.

We're nearly home. Come on-

- [ Yelping ]

- Shadow!

- Shadow?

- Oh, Shadow.

- Poor old guy.

- Huh?

[ Groaning ]

- Shadow?

- Are you okay?

Yeah. My leg hurts

pretty badly.

- Is it broken?

- I don't know. It's hard to move it.

Hey, hey, look at this.

It's not as steep over here, Shadow.

- Maybe you can climb out here.

- I'll try.

[ Whimpering ]

Come on, come on, you can do it!

You got us this far.

- [ Whimpering ]

- Yeah, that's it.

That's it.

Great, keep comin'.

- [ Whining ]

- Come on. If you can jump in a river to save me...

this should be easy.!

Yeah, that's right. And after outrunning

a mountain lion! Come on.

- [ Sassy ] Come on, Shadow.!

- That's good.!

That's good.

Take it slow now, take it slow.

One step at a time.

One step at a time, Shadow.

[ Sassy ]

Oh, oh, hang on.!

[ Chance ] Come on. Come

right back. Come right back.!

Come on,

you're so close.

Shadow! Shadow!

[ Sassy ]

Oh, Shadow.!

[ Chance ] No, no, no, don't

lie down. Don't lie down.!

Sorry, I can't make it.

- Why not? Of course you can make it.

- Try, Shadow, please try.

- I just can't.

- [ Whining ]

Look, you pushed me this far.

Now I'm pushin' you the rest of the way!

You know, back there in the woods

even when things looked really bad...

I always believed we'd make it 'cause

I thought you were too stubborn to quit.

Well,you're not gonna quit.

Not now, not when we're this close.!

Now try again!

Do you think it's easy for me

to admit I can't do it?

I'm too old.

That's not true.

There's nothing you can't do.

I have nothing more to give, Chance,

and it's time for you to be on your own.

But I want you with me.

I love you, Shadow.

You've learned everything

you need, Chance.

Now all you have to learn

is how to say good-bye.

[ Whimpering ]

I won't let you

give up.

Now, I can't stay but a minute,

but here's a welcome home pie for you.

Oh, thank you.

- Where are the kids?

- Oh, they're out in the backyard with Bob.

I know he's gonna

break his neck.

- How are they doing?

- Um...

they're much better

now that we're back at home.

Oh!

Burnford goes

for the slam! Yes!

- [ Bob ] Yeah!

- We win!

[ Chuckling ]

- Me next! Me next!

- Hope, I think I'm gettin' too old for this stuff.

Oh, please,

Daddy, please!

- Yeah, come on, Dad.

- [ Chuckle ]

[ Sigh ]

Okay.

- Get up. Come on.

- Okay.

- Now, don't let go whatever you do, huh?

- I won't.

Here we go!

- [ Bob Laughing ]

- [ Barking ]

Did you hear that?

- Hear what?

- [ Barking ]

[ Barks ]

It's a dog!

- Okay, guys, turkey's

on the table- - Shhh!

Chance!

- Oh, no, honey, it's not-

- [ Barking ]

- [ Barking ]

- [Jamie ] Here, Chance.!

- Here, boy!

- [ Barking ]

I know that bark.

It is him!

- Jamie!

- Chance! Chance!

- Here, boy.!

- Jamie!

Jamie, my boy!

- Oh.! Yes.! Yes.!

- Chance!

- Yes!Jamie!Jamie!

- I knew it! I knew it!

Jamie,Jamie, you don't know how much I

missed you and all the things that happened.

Oh, you smell like a million bones!

You're my favorite boy!

- I love you,Jamie.!

- Where have you been?

- Where have you been? Oh, Chance.

- Where have you been?

Chance!

- You scoundrel you! Look at this guy.

- You made it!

- [ Laughing ]

- [ Meowing ]

- Sassy!

- Oh!

Hope! Hope!

Hope! Hope! Hope!

- Oh.! Hope.!

- Oh, my baby.

- I thought I'd never see you again.
