Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey 1993 Aired on ABC (October 1994) Part 3

Back at the ranch, a race car driver mechanic named Frank came out of the truck; it was his turn to take care of the pets while Kate was away.

"Here, dogs," Frank called, coming in the yard. Then he whistled as he looked around. "C'mon!"

There was no response. "Kitty? Here, kitty, kitty!"

He began to look around the yard, but he didn't see any pets because unknown to him, they were gone. He walked into the farm; he looked at the first part of the note as he picked up a bucket full of food for other farm animals.

Frank picked up and read the note. "Thanks for feeding the animals. Old dog seems really homesick," he paused, then continued reading the rest of the note, "well, I'm taking him and the other two..."

Frank blinked as he looked at the back to see nothing written there. Frank was surprised. "Taking them where? Cat on a stock drive?! You have to be joking me," he heard the cow mooing for food, "alright, hang on, I know you're hungry, we're coming."

Back at the rocky mountain, Shadow, Sassy and Chance walked up to the hill. "Oh, I wanna be home, where the tallest fact I have to find is a bookshelf," said Sassy.

"Top's just ahead," said Shadow, "you'll be able to see our house from there, keep marching."

"Don't worry, I'm gonna be glad to put this piece behind me," said Chance, "first of all, there's way too many new smells to learn. Not to mention I have about 10 million trees to mark and I don't know about you, but I am running on empty."

"Eventually," said Sassy as she, Shadow and Chance eventually made it to the top. "Oh, Shadow," Sassy said in amazement.

"Whoa, get a load of this," said Chance; he, Sassy and Shadow stared at the magnificent view; all of the beautiful mountains, including some tall mountains. "You can see every fact from up here."

Chance paused as he looked around. "Except the house....I don't see the house. Where's the house, Shadow?"

"Well, thank you, Shadow, it's been simply a divine vacation," Sassy rolled her eyes, "but I think I'll just stay here and wait for the bus!"

"Alright," Shadow began to walk down the mountain.

"Hey, where are you going," Chance asked, "where's he going?"

"Shadow," asked Sassy, confused.

"I warned you, I'm going home," Shadow replied.

"You can't be serious," Sassy sighed, thinking that Shadow was going nuts.

"I have to go, Peter might be in danger," Shadow said, concerned about Peter.

"Will you look around," asked Chance, "we're in danger! Home's not that fashion, can't you just smell straight?"

"Oh, it's out there. I have the sixth sense; you have it...one day," Shadow explained.

"Shadow, you're not as young as you used to be," Sassy said.

"I'm going home, Sassy, that's all," said Shadow, "now are you two coming or not?"

"Look, there's no fashion..." Chance paused, "uh...gonna let an old-timer like you go alone. I'll be your guard dog," Chance walked next to Shadow.

"This isn't a game, pup. If you're coming, you're gonna have to keep up," Shadow warned.

"Alright, hey, don't worry about me, I have this stuff. That's you I'm concerned about," said Chance.

"You two are really gonna go off and leave me here," Sassy asked in surprise.

Shadow smirked. "You wait for that bus. You'll do fine."

"Yes, we'll send you a dead bird if we get there," Chance walked with Shadow.

"I prefer to do my own shopping," Sassy yelled.

"Farewell, Sassy," Shadow and Chance walked off.

"Hey! Alright, alright, wait up," Sassy moaned, "I can't believe I'm following a couple of irresponsible, misguided, mangy canine leg-lifters," she caught up with Shadow and Chance.
