Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey 1993 Aired on ABC (October 1994) Part 6

At the police station, Peter came in to ask one of the police offers to help him find Shadow, Sassy and Chance. Peter went to the front of the desk, with the desk sergeant.

"Excuse me," Peter asked.

"Yes," the desk sergeant asked.

"I need some help finding a member of my family," Peter replied, while the desk sergeant listened, "actually three members of my family."

"How long have they been missing," the desk sergeant asked.

"Well, they ran away about a week ago," Peter replied.

The desk sergeant wrote notes on the paper. "Your name?"

"Peter Burnford."

"Where are your parents?"

Peter looked down. "They don't know that I'm here."

"You better give me their names," said the desk sergeant.

"Laura Burnford, that's my mum. And my dad," Peter stopped, "well, my husband's name is Bob Seaver."

"I need a physical description of the missing persons," said the desk sergeant.

"Well, there's Shadow; he has brown eyes and sandy-colored hair," Peter explained, "and Sassy has blue eyes, she's Himalayan."

The desk sergeant stared at him, thinking that it was a joke. "Himalayan?"

"That's right. And Chance as well, he's white with black spots."

"Black spots?"

Peter made an embarrassing mistake. "That's right."

"Look, child, this is the San Francisco Police Department," said the desk sergeant, "we can't go chasing after stray cats and dogs. I'm sorry, but we have more reluctant facts to do!"

"This is reluctant to me," Peter yelled, "and my brother and sister! What are we supposed to do, just forget about them?"

The desk sergeant sighed. "Let me warn you something that might help you out. Sometimes, if we're looking for a suspect, we make up these reward posters and we put them up all over the city. Now, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But, it's a shot."

Peter grinned. "Yes, perhaps I'll do that." Peter began to leave.

"Hey, child," the desk sergeant called, "farewell."

"Thanks," Peter left the department.

Back at home, Peter was getting the box off the top of the shelf, as he began to search for stuff to make posters; he saw the poster with a picture of Shadow, Sassy and Chance.

"Peter, you want me to help me find something," Laura asked.

"Mum, who made these," Peter asked.

"Bob did," Laura replied.

"He did," Peter asked.

"Yes, I sent them everywhere."

"Why didn't he say anything about it?"

"It's the fashion you spoke to him the other night," Laura explained, "I think that he's afraid to even look at you and I didn't want to get your hopes up."

"Has anyone called," Peter asked, as Laura shook her head, "I miss Shadow, Mum."

"Oh, darling," Laura hugged her son, hoping that he'd feel better once the animals had been found.
