Hopelessly lost in the forests of British Columbia, survival is difficult. Yellow Dog leads Angus back to civilization then tumbles thousands of feet into the raging waters and rocks below. There can be no chance of survival for Yellow Dog. Now safely restored to his family, Angus mourns the loss of his best friend. The weeks pass. Then one morning Angus senses something. There is something in the distance. As the something gets nearer the music builds. Yellow Dog has returned. The impassioned music brings tears of joy to the eyes.
