Snow Buddies Page #5

---

the odds certainly are

against young Adam.

He's almost at the midway checkpoint.

- Hurry.

- [Grunts]

- [Engine turns over]

- [Dogs barking]

OK, guys, here you go.

I've got some dinner for you. Eat up.

Long race tomorrow, yeah.

- Good.

- [Cackles]

[Elva] Eat up...

Strong doggies tomorrow.

Good boys, good boys.

[Whistling]

Ladies and gentlemen, with

the clock down to a mere 45 seconds,

Adam Bilson and his team of amazing,

incredible pups have made it

to the mid-way checkpoint,

unscathed and on a mission!

Mudbud. Budderball.

Thank goodness it's halftime.

I'm starving.

It's the seventh inning stretch.

Time to balance my chi.

Ohm...

[speaks French]

- Good, no one's limping.

- Huh...

You're making me proud.

- [Indistinct chatter]

- [Dogs barking]

[Man] Well, here we go, folks.

Day two of the

Ferntiuktuk Annual Dog Sled Race.

Our three remaining teams

are set to resume.

It should be an

exciting race to the finish.

- Hike!

- [All barking]

On by!

What's that? Snow squalls?

Whiteout conditions?

Why didn't you tell me before?

No, I can't cancel the race.

They're already out there.

Aw, you're some kind of dizzy.

Never mind, never mind.

I'll check it myself.

Oh, brother.

[Moaning] Oh, me on the Internet.

Bernie wouldn't believe his eyes.

What's this?

Five missing puppies?!

Oh, my gosh!

All right, here we go.

- [Phone ringing]

- [Gasping]

Fernfield, Deputy Dan.

Yeah, Deputy Dan, it's Sheriff Ryan

in Ferntiuktuk Sheriff's Department.

Listen, I've got five puppies

that match your description.

Wow, that is great news, sheriff!

I can't wait to tell the kids!

They'll be very excited!

[Panting]

Come on, you lazy mongrels.

Move it! A-ha!

[Barking]

[Groaning]

[Moaning]

I don't like the look

of those clouds, Shasta.

Hey, kids!

Kids! [laughing]

Kids!

[Grunting, gasping]

Kids! Kids! Hey!

Hey! [chuckling]

Hey! We found...

We found the pups!

- Yeah!

- Awesome!

- Could someone help me down?

- [Keys falling]

On by. Hike.

Hike.

- [Barking]

- [Moaning]

[Grumbling] Jean George...

[moaning]

[Shivering]

[Grunting]

Hey, sheriff.

Are we glad to see you!

Sheriff Ryan at your service.

Oh, boy, looks like

you better catch a ride with me.

- Let's go!

- Yeah, come on.

On by! Hike! Hike!

Move it, Jean George.

- Oh, no!

- [Cackling]

- Au revoir!

- [Screaming]

Gee!

Although several racers

left the mid-way checkpoint,

there are still three teams

missing in action.

Haw!

[Wind howling]

[Moaning]

[Grunts]

Those puppies won't

survive one night in that storm.

[Chuckles]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's the abominable snow dude.

It's all right. Follow him.

- [Barking]

- [Elva] Help. Help!

I'm over here.

That scoundrel.

Jean George sabotaged my sled.

I have never seen

such dastardly weather conditions.

I have never seen

such dastardly weather conditions.

I'm sorry to say it, folks,

but it makes it impossible

to track the competitors.

We're just going to have to hope

and pray for the two remaining racers.

Dudes, it's warm.

Clean, but warm.

Inuits use igloos as homes.

The ice traps the heat.

[Panting]

[Grunting]

Thank you, you saved us.

I knew you were out there somewhere.

I've been listening to the radio.

Only you and Jean George

are still in it.

But now you should rest, young man.

[Groans]

Let's go, pups.

We've got a race to win.

Come on, Shasta,

we can do this. Hike! Hike!

- [Laughing]

- Whoa!

- [Grunts]

- [Chortles]

Whoa! That was close.

[Gasps] Adam's hurt!

I see a sled.

- Ah, it's Jean George.

- [All groan]

Oh, no. Where's Adam?

[All whimpering]

[Groaning] What happened?

Oh, no.

I think I'm OK, guys. Hike!

Hike!

Come on, Shasta,

we can do this. Hike. Hike!

[Crowd chatters indistinctly]

Wait a second!

There's another sled!

- It's Adam Bilson and his pups!

- [All cheer]

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Where are you going?

It is too late.

You cannot save them!

They are goners, uh! Bah!

[Whimpering]

- Adam Bilson seems to have stopped.

- What's happened?

The lake.

Quick, give me the keys.

- No.

- No.

No, if the ice is cracking,

the weight of the snowmobile won't help.

- He's right.

- [Whimpering]

They fell through because they're heavy.

[Gasping]

There's something

I need to tell you guys.

This is where my mom and dad... died.

- We know, dude.

- You do?

And you still raced even though

you knew it was so dangerous?

Like Talon said, sometimes

you just have to have faith.

You need to hook their sled up

so we can pull them out.

- [Ice cracking]

- [Whimpering]

Good boy.

- Slowly.

- [Whining]

- Slowly.

- [Ice cracking]

Just hook it to the sled.

Come on back. Good boy.

- Slowly.

- [Ice cracking]

Slowly.

Good boy!

OK, guys, I'm gonna hook you up.

Budderball, you're strongest, so I need

you to give it all you got, big fella.

We're a team now, guys. We can do it!

OK, come on. Hike!

- Hike! Hike, hike!

- [All barking]

Hike, hike! Come on.

Come on, guys. Hike, hike!

Pull! Come on, hike! Hike!

Hike! Come on, pull!

You can do it, guys.

Come on, hike! Hike!

Zut alors! That is impossible!

Yes! Good boy!

[Jean George] Come on, you lazy mutts,

let's go! We've got a race to win.

Au revoir, my little pipsqueak!

[Chuckles] Hike! Hike!

- Hey!

- [Barking]

That double-crossing, crooked creep.

That lowdown, dirty, good-for-nothin'...

Nobody double-crosses me and

my brothers. We've got to beat them.

- We are the fastest, and...

- And the strongest.

We have the power of positive thinking.

It ain't over

till the husky puppy howls!

Oh, all right, pups. Let's get them!

And the race is back on

with Jean George in the lead.

Adam and the puppies are making sure

that it's a fight to the finish.

- Come on, Adam. Come on!

- They're too far back.

- Come on, Adam, you can do it.

- Go, Adam!

- Hike!

- Come on, you stupid, useless fleabags.

Those puppies saved our lives.

Yeah. Our musher

abandoned us and left us for dead.

It's time to go on strike.

[Speaks French]

No, no, no!

What are you doing, huh?

- Hike! Hike!

- Get him!

Come on, guys. Hike! Hike!

- Hike! On by! On by!

- [Groaning]

On by.

Hike! Hike!

- [All cheer]

- That's my boy!

- He did it! He did it, he won!

- Yeah!

- Whoo!

- Yeah!

He actually did it!

You're not mad?

Well, right now

I'm too proud to be mad.

I'm sorry. I just

wanted to race, to be like you.

I know, I know.

I should have let you.

I see that now.

It's your time.

I'm proud of you.

Wouldn't it be rad

if Mom and Dad could've been here?

[Barking]

- [Budderball] Mom! Dad!

- Buddies!

Ah, good dog, Bernie. Good job!

Yo, what's crackalakin'?

What are you doing rollin' in this hood?

Well, dear, we're

rollin' in this hood to find you.

That's what's, um, crackalakin'.

We were right behind you

the whole time.

- You were?

- Of course.

Your mom and I would search

to the ends of the Earth for you five.

- Where's Mudbud?

- Mom, I'm right in front of you.

I hardly recognized you, dude.
