to sew some leather patches

on the elbows for you.

Well, you know,

I kind of forgot about it.

I'm sorry.

She used to hate

this old sweater.

Always teased me

she was gonna throw it out

when I wasn't looking.

Thought she...

...finally did.

Nope. I guess she just wanted

to fix it up for you.

God bless you, Mr. Hale.

Come on, Buck.

Come on. It's really cozy.

Can I sleep out here

with Buck tonight?

What do you suppose the chances

are I'm gonna let you sleep in

this cold garage with a wolf?

When you put it like that

I guess not very good.

Good guess.

- For that you get a prize.

- What?

All the toothpaste

you can fit on your brush.

- Come on.

- Good night, Buck.

Should I keep reading?

- Yes.

Try and stay awake so I can get

to the good part, will you?

"Buck was put into the baggage

car of a great express train.

This train traveled

all the way to the sea

where Buck was put

aboard a cargo ship.

For seven days the ship

traveled northward.

And for seven days Buck

had very little to eat.

What little food

was brought to him

was brought by a man

in a red sweater.

Buck blamed the man for

everything that happened to him.

When he had his chance,

Buck tried to get away...

...but the man had a club.

Buck had never been struck

by a club in his life.

The man beat him and beat him

until Buck could fight no more.

He learned that a man

with a club made the law.

The man in the red sweater said:

'Obey, dog, and you'll

be treated fine.

Be a bad dog and I'll beat

the tar out of you. Understand?'

Buck understood, but he

was not happy about it."

Does he get away?

We'll have to see.

Seems Buck has entered a world

where he doesn't exactly fit.

And that could mean trouble.

I'm glad our Buck ended up

where he belongs.

Good night, Buttercup.

Sweet dreams.

Come on, Buck.

You wanna be a pet, don't you?

Pets have it made.

It's a nice collar.

Look, leather.

Come on, Buck.

Don't you want to look cool?

Buck, it's so pretty.

Wonders never cease.

Come on, boy.

- Hey, kid.

- Shh! Almost have him.

- Is that a wolf?

- It's a dog-wolf.

- His name's Buck.

- He looks strong.

Smart, too.

Hey.

- Morning, Jack.

- Morning.

Didn't get much sleep

last night?

I don't sleep much at all

these days.

He likes me.

I'm going to talk mom and dad

into letting me keep him.

Ry.

Wait till Brittney

and Chloe see.

Chloe's family has an Afghan

and Brittney's has a Shar-Pei.

But nobody,

and I mean nobody in

Beacon Hill has a pet wolf.

Come on, Ryan.

You're gonna love

this place.

- Hey, Mr. Hale.

- How you doing today?

- Good. How are you doing?

- Not too bad.

I have something to take care of

at the bank, Buttercup.
