[DOGS BARKING]
I miss you, Dad.
Sam?
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
Time to get up.
You don't want to be late
your first day at a new school.
Come on.
Asa.
Sam?
I'll drive to the station.
No trains last night.
No, no.
He hasn't run away.
He'd never have left this behind.
He's been here three weeks, that's
Well, that's good Ali.
Means he's decided to stay.
Oh.
See?
There he is.
[RINGING BELL]
Kayla?
[DOG GROWLING]
Kayla?
I heard the barking, I just didn't
think they'd jump over the fence.
Can't believe they ran off.
Had those dogs since they were pups.
They'll come back, surely.
No.
Not if they're running deer with
a pack wild dogs, they won't.
Wild dogs?
Where did they come from?
Oh, up north.
Up north?
Yeah.
The Laurentians, Shield Country,
maybe farther.
Indian dogs mostly.
Runaways off the farms.
Some packs have wolf mixed in.
Travel south when the rivers freeze up.
Don't you like your pancakes?
Oh, and I can give Sam
a ride to school this morning.
I have some patients out that way.
What's wrong?
They're purple.
Well, it's because I mushed
dried blueberries in them.
Asa likes them that way.
Ugh.
Yuck.
It was only an experiment.
I'll make the kind you like.
I've got to check up on
old LePlant this afternoon
and I'll see if I can ask him
to make us up some skis for Sam.
I'd like him to go on some
of your calls with you,
see you practice medicine.
Sure.
Any time.
I used to do the rounds with my father.
You'd love that, wouldn't you, Sam?
These are terrific, Ali.
Have fun.
Try to make some friends.
Give me your bag.
Bye.
Check that belt, would you.
The belt's fine, Papa.
And did you check this battery here?
That's fine too.
What are you looking for?
It's in the engine.
It's the rod, I tell you.
- I don't think so, Papa.
- Well, that's what I think.
What's the problem, August?
Problem?
The whole darn problem
is those wolf dogs.
The whole darn town council
We lost three calf's this morning.
Papa said we'll be in the poorhouse.
Well, the township meeting's coming up.
You can have your say then, August.
I'll be there.
You can bet on it.
Well, what's wrong with the truck?
Just threw a rod, goll darn it.
Well, sorry for your trouble.
Uh, this is Sam MacKenzie, Althea's son.
This is Mr. Nightingale, he's
our neighbor to the North,
and Jaynie's his daughter.
And your new classmate.
Well, one of them anyway.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Happy new year, Jaynie.
Happy new year.
August?
All the best in 1920.
It's the rod, I tell ya.
Set the choke, Papa.
What a useless piece of scrap.
If you ain't going nowhere, you might
as well catch a ride in with Asa.
Ne, ne, ne, careful now.
Okay?
She'll blow.
See, Papa?
Take care, August.
Poor old, Jaynie.
Hope she got a decent breakfast.
I don't think August is much of a cook.
Well, where's her mother?
She died last winter.
Influenza epidemic.
There you go.
You know, I'd be happy to go
in with you and introduce you.
No.
Sam, listen.
Your mo...
Sam?
Sam's mother married
Dr. Robinson last September.
Sam has been at boarding school
in Montreal but from now
on he's going to live here in Bolton.
Will you tell us something
about yourself?
Tell the class who your
famous father was, Sam.
Samuel Clearwater MacKenzie.
And who was
Samuel Clearwater MacKenzie, class?
Yes, Jaynie?
- Famous explorer.
- And what did he explore?
