Everyone was astonished by what transpired after a wrongfully convicted police officer begged to see his K9 one last time.

They took refuge in an isolated cabin to examine the documents that would expose the entire enterprise.

But they were soon discovered again by the conspirators. As the attackers entered their hideout, gunshots shattered windows.

While Michael and Luke vigorously argued their positions, Sarah protected the evidence. After a harrowing battle, backup finally arrived, and the attackers were routed.

Michael was hailed as a hero and publicly defended. But the praise was insignificant in comparison to his sincere appreciation for Luke, whose unwavering devotion had saved him time and time again.

Michael was at last at ease as he watched Luke happily pursue a ball across their lawn.
