I'll get food by pretending I don't want food.

That's stupid.

I'll prove it!

Oh, you don't have to prove it, I believe you're stupid.

It's built in. Has been ever since the dawn of time when a few wild dogs took it upon themselves to watch over man; to bark when he's in danger; play with him when he's happy; nuzzle him when he's lonely. That's why they call us man's best friend.

--Shadow

Chance, you're a genius!

I am not!!!.....what's a genius?

It was Shadow's victory, really. His belief was the thing that got us through. And in that moment I saw the years lift from him. He was a puppy again, reunited with his best friend. As we turned to go inside the house, a strange new feeling came over me. I had a family. And I had found out that sacrifice and friendship and even love were more than just the mushy stuff. At last, for the first time in my life-I was home...........TURKEY!!!

--Chance
