Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey 1993 Aired on ABC (October 1994) Part 5

A while later, at a tower, a man named Ranch Wilder was speaking to Kate who called him.

"No, ma'am, I have to warn you. Domesticated animals wouldn't stand a chance out here," said Ranch Wilder, "we have bears, mountain lions. These are serious predators."

"Is there anybody else in the park service I can call," Kate asked through her phone, feeling like she was about to weep, "oh, would you? I appreciate it! I gave you my number, did I? Alright, it's just a shot," she hung up the phone, getting afraid at how the pets' owners would react.

"We've done every fact we can," said Frank.

"Not everything...." Kate said...it looked like she had no choice.

Back at San Francisco, after Kate called Laura that the animals ran away; she comforted Jamie and Hope, who kept weeping. Bob stood there and Peter sat behind the couch, very upset that Shadow was gone.

"Perhaps we could go look for them," said Peter.

"Really," Hope asked.

Bob didn't think so. "I really don't think we're gonna be able to do that, guys."

"Why couldn't we," Peter asked, getting frustrated.

"Look, Peter, we all miss them," Bob replied, "we're gonna do every fact we can to find them, but we have to be patient."

"We have to do something," Peter was getting frustrated by the moment. Laura looked at Bob, concerned.

"Trying to find three animals in the wilderness is like trying to find a needle in a haystack," Bob explained while Peter sighed, "I think we need to be realistic."

"I don't care what you think," Peter snapped, "I warned you he thinks that I abandoned him, but you made us come any matter! It's your fault! It's all your fault!" Peter walked past Bob, very frustrated.

"Peter," Laura called, but Peter ignored her and walked to his room, locking the door. Bob felt pretty bad that he made a very big mistake. He looked at Laura, who didn't say a word. Bob really did mess facts up and Peter would never see or speak to him ever again.
