Tracy, let this little girl

have whatever she wants.

As long as she doesn't

overdo it.

- OK.

- Grandpa?

Can you please not call me

Buttercup around other people?

- It's embarrassing.

- Sorry.

How about

a strawberry sundae.

- Hey, Jack.

- Oh! Hi.

Hi, Tracy. Hi.

I didn't know you

were working today.

I... I came in for a...

...drink.

I... I mean soda.

I think we can manage that.

You race sled dogs?

Well, I try to.

Kind of still learning.

I can't believe people make

dogs race in the snow.

Are you kidding?

They love it!

They're bred for it.

Once you have them hooked in,

it's hard to keep them

from running.

How come you didn't win?

My lead dog isn't very good.

Takes a very special dog

to be a good lead.

I have the most

special dog in the town.

Because he's part wolf.

Ozz, are you still trying

to smoke those things?

Practice your bad habit outside.

There's no smoking in here.

Hey! What's so funny,

butt-face?

I... I see you got yourself

a new girlfriend.

Sure she's not too

mature for you?

I'm mature enough to know that

smoking is for losers.

Oh!

How would you like to

wear that ice cream...

- ...on your head?

- Hey! Hey. Come on.

Ozz, you're finished now.

OK.

So this wolf dog you found...

...maybe he'd make

a good lead sled dog.

Maybe, but I'm taking

him home to Boston.

I wish he wandered

into my garage.

Strong as any dog

I've ever seen

and smart enough

to be a lead dog.

I can tell.

Ah, he's learning.

Hey.

Just for fun,

why don't we get the harness,

see how he takes to it.

What?

Afraid he's not smart enough?

Let's go get the harness.

You'll see.

Whoa! Hold on now.

Where'd you get that animal,

little girl?

He was in our garage.

- Ah-ha. Yeah.

- Strong, Pa. Isn't he?

Look at the size of him.

Shh!

So you say you found him?

Well, he looks wild to me.

- Well, he's not.

- Here's the thing.

We found that animal not

five days ago in the wild.

He was stalking a moose

up Horseman's Ridge.

We caught him, put a rope on

him, but he give us the slip.

That's right.

Ozz, here, he'll tell you.

Right.

That's right.

We found that animal.

- He's ours.

- No, he's not.

Something I can

help you with, Heep?

We were just telling

little missy here...

...thanks for finding

our wolf-dog.

What are you

talking about?

We found

that dog ourselves.

Put a rope on it. Ready to

break, he give us the slip.

Any proof of that?

Sure.

That's right.

That's not good enough, Heep.

Mind if I ask what

you're doing here?

Ah, sure. We just come down

the road to buy some eggs.

Oh, that's...

...that's two doors down.

So it is.

We'll be saying, "Good day",

to you then, Heep.
