to get rid of unwanted animals.

[CROWD CHANTING] Vote!

[GAVEL BANGING]

Settle down.

Vote, vote, vote!

Settle down.

It has been proposed and seconded

that this matter be brought to a vote.

All those who agree

that the township raise

the ban on strychnine... wolf

poison... will raise your hand.

[AUDIENCE] Yes.

The proposal has been

accepted by the township.

There you go.

They set out poison.

Kayla will eat it, won't he?

He's not Kayla.

Won't he?

Yeah.

That's what they're hoping.

Come on.

All the way from Florida.

Must be expensive.

Give it back.

Too good for a city pup like you.

[SCREAMING AND GRUNTING]

Boys, stop it!

Stop it!

[SQUEALING AND PLAYING NOISES]

Get the city pup!

[YELLING AND CHEERING]

Get off of him!

Stop it!

[DOGS BARKING]

Wild dogs!

[SCREAMING]

Come on, get up.

Get up.

Who are you?

[DOG GROWLING AND BARKING]

[YELLING]

I'm not afraid of you!

Come on.

He was my father's dog.

His leader, Kayla.

Be thou my breastplate,

my sword for the fight.

Be thou my armor and

be thou my might.

Thou my soul shall

turn now my high tower.

Be though...

Hey!

...my breast...

Wait up.

Pass.

So, uh, they play hockey around here?

Yep.

Come on, bring it up.

Come on, guys.

Block him.

Pick it up.

Over here.

Pass.

Sam, pass.

Come on bring it up.

He tripped me.

You should have passed.

Get out of my way.

Yay!

[WOLF HOWLING]

That's the big gray.

He was after our sheep last night.

He saved my life.

[LAUGHTER]

I fell down a cliff.

I was freezing to death.

I got knocked out.

I kept falling asleep

so he chased me home.

[LAUGHTER]

Dogs don't save people

they don't even know.

[WOLF HOWLING]

Bugaboo. That's what Mama Mass says.

Werewolf.

No bullet kills him.

Ghost dog.

Maybe it comes back from the dead.

Like Sam's pa.

Shut up.

[WOLF HOWLING]

Well, I, I got chores.

Yeah.

Me, too.

[HUMMING]

[DOG GROWLING AND BARKING]

Bugaboo?

Where's Herbie?

I gotta go milking.

Feed the pigs.

Herbie!

[DOG GROWLING]

Go away.

Leave me alone.

Herbie!

Go away.

[DOG BARK]

Ahhh!

Get away!

Get away!

Ahhh!

Get outta here!

Wait'll I tell the other kids.

When you guys rescued me?

I'm not gonna forget it.

Stuff like this they put in

the newspaper with a headline

like, Innocent Child Nearly

Devoured By Savage Beast.

How about what really happened?

Innocent Weenies

Devoured By Savage Beast.

Nah.

Herbie ate most of them.

Innocent Weenies

Devoured By Savage Child.

Come on, guys.

I only saved one.

He got the rest.

Innocent Weenie Saved By

Stalwart Young Herbert Gooch.

[WOLF HOWLING]

[SAM HOWLS]

Come on, you guys.

Let's get outta here.

Maybe he isn't your father's dog.
