Shortly after the wedding, the family has to move to San Francisco when Bob must temporarily relocate there for his job. They leave the pets at a ranch belonging to Kate Jean Smart, a family friend. Shadow and Sassy start missing their owners immediately, but Chance sees it as an opportunity to explore and have some fun. Later in the week, Kate later goes on a cattle drive, leaving the animals at the ranch to be looked after by her neighbor Frank Gary Taylor, who doesnt see her message and thinks shes taken them along. The animals get worried because they believe they have been abandoned, with Shadow in particular worried about Peter, so he decides to go find them and the other two follow reluctantly.They head into the rocky, mountainous wilderness of the Sierra Nevadas, with Shadow leading by instinct. After a night spent in fear of the woodland noise, the group stops to catch breakfast at a river. Two black bear cubs steal Chances fish, and when Chance barks at them in protest, they leave the fish and climb a tree. He cockily assumes that he has scared them off, but then a huge brown bear appears, causing the group to quickly flee. At another river, Sassy refuses to swim across to follow the dogs, running along the river until she reaches a path of wood that seems to cross its breadth. Halfway across, it breaks apart and she falls in. Shadow jumps in to try to save her, but she goes over a waterfall. Shadow and Chance search for her along the bank, but as night falls, they mourn their loss and continue on without her. ........
