- Bear sleeps outside and follows Ethan to the barn the next morning.
- Lonely old Ethan talks to the horse about missing Jasper the donkey.
- Later that day, unexpected visitors arrive.
- Animal control pulls up to take Bear to the shelter. Ethan called them, and Bear is confused and betrayed.
- At the shelter, it isn't long before a family wants to take Bear home. But their plans to adopt the dog are interrupted when Ethan shows up.
- Ethan has had second thoughts, and he's going to take that dog home. He doesn't care how many children he disappoints.
