The thrill of the chase, the anticipation of rewards, the disappointment of failure. Copper makes chase for the glorification of his master, Todd runs to preserve what little he has.

Crazy to see the scene from the bear hunt where Chief is part of a separate part of this original version of the story too.

It's neat to see how Disney will take scenes and set pieces, completely remove their context, yet still make a compelling story from it. The entire bear scene happens within the first chapter as a chase after a man-killing bear, yet in the movie becomes the foil of the hunt after Tod and an emotional fracturing of the friendship bond in the movie.

The dog, Copper, is near sighted. Make note.
