Welcome back to the Alpine Report.

Our next guest has a fascinating story.

His name is Shaun Kendrick.

Shaun, let me see if I have this right.

You got this dog from the pound

and you didn't know he could snowboard.

Well, yeah.

Boy, I'd hate to be the knucklehead to let that dog get away.

Well, I was almost dumb enough to let him go too.

Well, what happened? What happened, Shaun?

Did he chew one too many slippers?

Was he-- Was he hogging the sheets?

It's a long story.

People don't know it, but I got a history, you know.

I don't like to brag,

but before I was ever known as Bodi the Snowboarding Dog,

I was the king of the backstreets.

Oh, my God, I'm so hungry.

I hope the kitchen man comes soon.

Oh, here he comes. Shh, shh.

- Oh, boy, it's time to eat. - Oh, goody, goody. Let's roll.

Be careful, Flip Flop.

Come on, doggy, doggy, doggy.

Oh, goodness, yes.

Oh, Flip Flop, it's steak! It's steak!

Oh, I love steak. Yum, yum, yum, yum.

Oh, it's so good. Oh, I love steak.

Boys, something's wrong.

Honeycomb, you know what's wrong?

Someone threw out this perfectly good steak

and you're not enjoying it.

I'm telling you, something is wrong today, I hear it.

Something is out there.

Yeah, well, you know what's in here?

Filet mignon and skirt steak and it's delicious.

Mm.

Guys, I'm telling you something is wrong.

I'm gonna go. Flip Flop, are you coming?

And leave the steak? No way.

Oh, good call, Flip Flop.

- Oh, I think there's some tuna in here. - Oh, tuna-squish.

Let me at it. Let me at it. Tuna-squish. I love it.

Hey, Flip Flop, it's called tuna fish, not "squish".

Are you sure?

Oh, it might be halibut.

Oh, I love it too. Come on, let me in, let me in.

Uh-oh! Run!

- Run, Flip Flop! - I am running.

Hey!

Hey!

Oh, boy, he's gonna get caught, isn't he?

I sure think so. He's got bad hips, you know.

I don't know if I can keep this up.

Oh, boy.

Well, yeah, I got caught. What can I tell ya?

I got short legs, ya know,

and a very small nose.

So while I'm doing time in Montana's Dog Penitentiary,

Shaun was all the way down in L.A., California.

You gotta be kidding me. We're moving to Montana?

Yeah, it's where I'm needed.

It pays a lot more than operating a saw around here.

Look, I just--

I need to start thinking about how to make enough to send you to college.

Dad, I can't go to college, okay?

I'm expecting a sponsorship any day now.

Oh, yeah, what? A sponsorship in surfing?

Yes, Dad, okay? I've been killing it out there

and any day, someone's gonna notice me.

- Put your phone down. - What?

What have I told you? Life happens when...

When you put your phone down, yes, Dad, okay.

You are so uncool.

Like, come on, dude.

It's Dad, not dude!

And you need to get your priorities straight, okay?

You gotta start thinking about your future

because you cannot get a college degree in surfing.

This is so unfair.

Shaun, I'm sorry.

Right? I wish there was another way.

I do.

Shaun was one of the best surfers in California.

The way Shaun likes to tell it, he had everything.

Friends...

- Here comes, The Monster! - Yo!

- Come on! - That was sick.

Hey, you killed that, dog, killed it.

Monster, boy.

A beautiful girlfriend.

You were really great out there today, Shaun.

Thank you.

Shaun thought his time as a surfer would never end,

but, hey,

life had other plans.

Come on, buddy, it's not that bad.

So I've been doing a bunch of reading on Montana,

some of the stuff to do up there, things you might like.

Did you know they have

a pretty decent snowboarding scene up there?

- Snowboarding? - Yeah, you should try it.

You might like it. Probably be really good at it.

Learn some tricks. Make some new friends.

Dad, I don't wanna be a beginner again, okay?

It took me years to get good at surfing.

That is not the attitude of a winner.

Hey, it's gonna be harder than it seems.

Okay, I'm leaving everything behind.

- Really? Everything. - Yeah.

You know, I was just getting popular at school.

Me and Tiffany made it official

and, you know, she's great.

Look, Tiffany... Tiffany is great, right?

So you're young.

Trust me, it's not the end of the world.

Yeah, okay, whatever.

Hey, did you make sure you pulled the coat out for when we arrive?

No. How cold could it be?

It's cold. Oh, it's cold.

I told you to wear your coat.

Why did we move here?

- Come on. - Okay.

All right let's open the door, Dad. Really freakin' cold.

Whoo!

All right, Dad, hurry up. Thank you.

Yeah, sounds cold,

but when was it that Bodi, the Snowboarding Dog,

came into the picture?

Now we're getting to the good part.

Your dad got Bodi from the Stafford Animal Shelter

once you were in Montana, is that correct?

Yeah, you know, he thought it would make me feel better to have a new friend,

- even if that friend had canines and fur.

So, we're new to town, my son and I,

and I thought, you know, maybe a dog might cheer him up.

He's kind of homesick.

What sort of dog is your son interested in?

We've got an assortment.

Collies, hounds, Retrievers.

What about this one?

- Mm... Bodi. - Hey, bud.

He's not what respectable people call a good dog.

- Hey, hey, bud. Can we take him out?

Sure, I guess.

Hey, come here. Hey, buddy.

Oh...

My wife, God rest her soul,

she had a bulldog when we were younger.

I remember they made great companions.

This one's trouble.

I've seen him here a few times, a few too many times.

He likes to run away and cause problems.

- Hey, buddy. - He's a problem dog.

Yeah?

I'd encourage you to look at this lovely little guy right here.

Yeah, I think maybe this time things will be different.

Maybe he ran away from those other places 'cause he hadn't met us yet.

Good luck with that.

Yeah.

Dad, I thought I told you I don't want this wheezy dog, okay?

He sounds like he's snoring.

Come on.

Look, I thought it'd be a nice gesture.

You know, I mean, you gave me the world's biggest guilt trip

for moving us up here. You know?

That'd be something nice for you.

You got a little buddy,

help you settle into our new place, huh?

Look at this guy.

Fine, okay.

Just leave him there, please.

Here, he loves the ball.

You guys have fun.

He thinks getting me a dog will make everything okay.

I miss you guys.

I don't know why, but in that moment, something sort of clicked.

I wanted to be there for him, a kid I didn't even know.

Maybe it was the fact that his dad had saved me from that awful animal jail.

Maybe it was the fact that I knew what it felt like to be tossed around

to different homes with people I didn't get to choose.

But maybe, just maybe it was because I was in a good mood,

but something about that kid, I can't put my finger on it.

I wanted to help him.

I could actually picture myself staying here for a while.

No dogs on the sofa.

Okay, looks like this is gonna be

a little harder than I thought.

High jump.

Hey, bud, hey.

Just 'cause you don't wanna leave the house

doesn't mean he wouldn't like to see the neighborhood.

He ain't wrong. I'm going crazy cooped up in here.

Fine, I'll take him out.

You promise?

I better not come back from work and see you sitting in the same spot.

Promise.

Okay.

What's it gonna be, kid?

Adventure time or moping around?

And just like that, I was his dog and he was my human.

If Shaun was gonna be the human I chose to be stuck with,

I wasn't gonna let him sit inside,

feeling sorry for himself all winter long.

I knew that if he just gave this snowboarding thing a shot,

he'd love it.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm trying to show you my new snowskate.

Stuff I can do on it is pretty sick.

I literally don't care.

You really have the worst job.

Nothing ever happens.

What time do you get off?

I love that nothing happens.

I'd way rather chill here than have to get up and what?

Save some hurt skier that doesn't know what they're doing?

Whatever.

Wow, the mountain does look pretty cool from here.

Still not as good as the beach, though.

And we're gonna change his mind in three, two, one.

Wow.

Wow.

She's good.

- Oh, no. - You.

Not this guy.

The dog catcher skis?

Are you kidding me?

How unlucky could one puppy be?

I thought they locked you up for good this time.

Hey, man, watch it. What's your beef with my dog?

Yeah, did you hear what he said?

I'm his dog now.

This mutt belong to you?

Yeah, he does. What's it to you?

My apologies, I must have had him mixed up with another animal.

Enjoy your day.

Yeah, why don't you get outta here, Mr. Dog Police?

Go eat a donut or something.

The bad news is the guy remembers me.

The good news is Shaun called me his dog.

I think we're making some progress.

Hey. You were pretty good up there.

Sorry, do I know you?

No, uh, I'm Shaun.

I just moved here from California.

Shaun, what are you doing?

Never mention California. Montanans hate them.

A California boy, huh?

You know, don't get too cold out here in this white stuff.

Have you ever heard of it? It's called snow.

Yeah, I've heard of it before.

You know, we actually get some.

Uh, we have a mountain called Big Bear,

then there's Mammoth, Tahoe.

Do you ever board?

No, I'm actually more of a surfer.

I'm pretty good, you know. I compete.

And there's talk about me getting a sponsor next season.

Hmm. So what are you doing out here?

Oh, no, this isn't going well.

- It's a long story. - My boy needs some help.

But maybe sometime I could show you my surfing vids.

I have a YouTube channel that's actually pretty good.

Um, maybe you've seen them?

I doubt it. I'm not really into watching people have fun,

- you know, I'm more out doing it. - Later, guys.

Riding, you know, doing it myself.

Maybe me and you could ride together sometime.

Sorry, I don't take on newbies.

I'll probably pick it up pretty quick,

if riding the snow is anything like riding a wave.

I tell you what, why don't you give it a couple weeks?

Once you can ride without falling, come find me.

Ouch, that's harsh.

So is the mountain if you don't know what you're doing.

Shaun's totally striking out. I gotta help the kid.

If you left and came back,

do you really think anyone would notice?

Oh, you wanna get me fired?

- Here we go. This is gonna be rad. - That it?

"You're trying to get me fired."

So do you live around here?

Yeah, I just live up the block.

Oh, so we're basically neighbors.

Yeah, wait--

Do you own that jacked up red truck?

You mean the Cowboy Cadillac?

Yeah, it's my Dad's.

Then, yeah, welcome to the neighborhood, neighbor.

So do you think you wanna show me that Montana hospitality

and teach me a thing or two on the mountain?

Look, full disclosure,

I'm training for a competition in a couple weeks.

It's kind of a big deal around here,

so I don't have a lot of free time.

That's fine.

I'll take all the time I can get.

Fine.

I'm Kayla.

Welcome to the mountains, California.

Shaun.

Uh, again, because you already knew that.

Hey, Shaun,

didn't you have a dog a minute ago?

Bodi!

Trevor, have you seen my board?

Definitely not.

It was right here.

You would for sure lose your head

if it wasn't attached to your body.

Where was the last place you saw it?

I don't know. It was right here.

What is that?

Yeah, I'm doing it, here we go.

Just like old times back in Buffalo.

I'm the best, guys.

Bodi, where are you, bud?

Bodi! Come back, little guy.

Great, I've had this dog less than a week and he's already gone.

I was just starting to get used to all the snoring.

- Um, California... - Yeah.

Is that your dog?

I'm going straight!

Your dog can snowboard?

Bodi!

Bodi, don't scare me like that.

I thought I lost you, boy.

Excuse me, hi.

Can I get my board back?

Oh, sorry, is this yours?

I don't know how he got on it.

I didn't even know he could do that.

Well, it was the coolest thing I've seen in a while, so...

Yeah, man, that was so dope.

I've never seen a dog do that in person before.

Well, you know, I basically taught him everything he knows, so...

But I thought you never snowboarded before.

Um, well, you know, I haven't,

but it's obviously all about balance, which I have, so...

I thought you only had him for a week.

He's a fast learner.

- Then how did you--? - What were your guys' names again?

- I'm-- - I'm Madison, this is Trevor.

And who is this?

This is my dog, Bodi.

- Oh, are you both new? - Yeah, we just moved here.

Are you doing the snowboarding competition in a couple weeks?

That would be great.

They could make a special category for him.

The whole town will be talking about it.

I'm not so sure about Bodi, but I definitely will be.

You are?

- But you haven't even-- - Of course I will, Kayla.

You know, why wouldn't I?

Me and Bodi live so close to here,

it'd be a shame not to take advantage of this beautiful mountain.

Agreed.

You guys riding too?

Of course we are, man.

Anyone who's anyone is riding.

Okay, well, it was really nice meeting you guys

and I'm sure I'll see you guys around since, you know,

we all ride and love the mountain.

For sure.

Hey, I gotta get back to post. You coming with me?

Nah, I'm gonna post about the new Powder Pup in town.

Hi.

Fine, later.

It was great meeting you, Shaun,

and Bodi.

I'm sure I'll see you guys around.

- Yeah. - You're so cute.

- Bye. - Nice meeting you.

Come on, Bodi, let's go, boy.

So about the snowboard thing, you said you'd teach me, right?

- Let me ask you one thing. - What?

- Why do you wanna board? - What do you mean?

Are you doing it because you actually want to,

or because you're trying to impress those two?

I'm...

Okay, come on, I mean,

this is the first thing I'm excited about since I've moved here.

Otherwise, I'm just gonna be sitting in my bedroom

watching TikToks all day, which I'm sure isn't healthy.

- I'll do it on one condition. - What's that?

You gotta take me surfing someday.

Surf?

Yeah, I mean, you said you're such a big shot on the waves

and I'm pretty good on the slopes,

but I've never been to an actual beach before.

Well, you're missing out.

The beach is like the best place on earth.

Well, I don't really have an opinion on it 'cause I've never been,

so you're gonna have to change that if you want me to teach you.

Okay. Deal.

Bows.

What?

Bows, like elbows.

Me and my friends used to do it back home.

It's kinda like a pinky promise, but with elbows.

So, bows?

You don't have to do it if you don't want to,

- just let me know. - Bows.

Hey, what about me?

I got elbows, I think.

Cool. So when do we start?

Meet me back here tomorrow morning

and I'll get you set up with some gear and teach you the basics.

Perfect. Deal.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

Come on, Bodi.

- Hey, California. - Yeah.

Don't be late, 8:00 a.m.

I'll be there. Come on, Bodi, let's go!

So, these were the cool kids on the mountain

and you wanted their attention.

Exactly.

It-it was crazy, Dad.

So I was talking to this girl named Kayla, right?

And all of a sudden, I look up

and I see Bodi snowboarding all by himself

on this tiny little board called a snowskate.

Can we get him one?

Yeah, of course.

Yes. It-it's gonna be amazing.

And then I was talking to this girl named Madison.

Who was, you know, pretty cute and I think she's into me,

so I'm gonna ask her out on a date.

And then Kayla is gonna teach me how to board

so I can enter the competition.

That's amazing.

And then there's this guy named Trevor.

It's TBD if we're gonna be cool or not,

but, hey, my dog can snowboard.

I can't tell you how good it is to see you happy, seriously.

Enjoy yourself for the next two weeks.

Snowboard, do what you want,

but then it's back to school. Okay?

Can't have you falling behind.

You know, I think I'm gonna go buy Bodi a snowskate

and then we're gonna watch some boarding videos before tomorrow. Okay?

- All right. - Come on, Bodi, let's go.

Ah, this is great.

I love a good morning ride before a bowl of kibbles.

Is that a dog on a snowboard? Dude...

Hey, pay attention.

Okay, so when you're boarding...

you gotta put your weight on your heels to slow down

so that the edge of your board digs in.

Hey, Kayla knows what she's doing.

You better be listening, Shaun.

Then,

you put your weight on your toes

to slow down when you're going the other way.

So you said you surf with your left foot forward, right?

- Yeah, yeah. - Okay.

So it'll probably be the same on a snowboard.

Don't really like how my feet are strapped in.

Get used to it.

The straps are tight so that you don't twist an ankle on the mountain.

You have to think of the board as an extension of your feet.

Oh, boy.

This might take a minute.

Okay...

Okay, so keep a slight bend in your knees

and don't lean back so far.

How am I supposed to ride when I can't even stand up?

Master flatland, you must.

Okay, Yoda.

You know, you just might be a snow Jedi after all.

And that's Blake.

He'll probably say something rude, so just ignore him.

Well, well, well, what do we have here?

I didn't know it was teach a newbie to board day on the mountain.

Hey, I don't like this guy's attitude.

And look at that, he brought his pet pig.

Hey, who are you calling a pig, human?

Don't you have literally anywhere else to be?

I don't know why you bother training, Kayla.

It's not like you stand a chance this year.

It's just like last year,

year before that, year before that.

I mean, I think it's cute...

that you lose and still you keep trying,

despite the embarrassment...

people feeling sorry for you.

I admire that.

But at a certain point, don't you just think to yourself

enough is enough?

Hey, listen, man, you can't talk to her like that.

Or what?

Heh.

- Shaun, are you okay? - It's okay, okay?

- I got it, I'm fine. - Aw...

Okay, newbie.

Have fun at snowboard camp.

I told you to not let him get to you.

I know, but I couldn't just let him talk to you like that.

I can stand up for myself. I have to put up with him every day.

Fine.

Next time, I'll just chill out while he insults you.

No, that's not what I'm saying,

- I just don't think-- I just-- - No, no, it's fine.

Okay? I'm gonna go take five. Come on, Bodi, let's go.

Shaun, it seems like you were not off to the greatest start.

Yeah, well, you know, it's one thing to lose to a competitor,

that's life.

But to lose to a jerk?

Man, this guy, he was the worst.

Yeah, calling me a pig.

I mean, I enjoy food, so what?

Everybody likes food.

So this Blake guy, he was pretty good.

He was really good.

He won the year before and he made sure everyone knew it.

Hey, California.

How are you feeling?

Like I wish I had a genie in a lamp

to make me a world-class snowboarder

so I could see the smug look on Blake's face

when I beat him in the competition.

Wow.

That was oddly specific.

Well, you asked.

Hey, you know what fixes a bad day on the mountain?

- What? - Hot chocolate.

Come on, let's go get some.

Hey, do I get some too?

Okay, so I was pitted on the inside of the pocket

and another rider's dropping in,

so I had to hop off or we're gonna hit each other.

And after that I totally ragged all day.

I've no idea what you just said.

Sorry, it's just how surfers talk.

You'll learn some day.

I better, or else.

Or else what?

You don't wanna know.

Psst! Psst!

Hey, what are you guys doing down there?

We came to save you. Come on.

Nah, nah, I like it here.

It's nice, Shaun's cool, come on.

What? You've become domesticated?

Nah, nah, it's not like that at all.

He gives me food, couple warm blankets.

Come on, the dog catcher could be anywhere.

I think he's coming around the corner.

We gotta save you, Bodi. You coming or not?

Nah, nah, I'm gonna stay with Shaun.

I really like the guy, come on.

Do you ever wonder if they have conversations of their own?

I don't know. What would they talk about?

Bones, I guess.

Hey, I'm gonna go use the baño before we head out.

- Do you think you could watch Bodi for me? - Sure.

All right, cool.

Madison.

Oh, hey, Shaun.

What are you doing here?

Me and Kayla are hanging out. She's teaching me how to board.

Oh, that's right.

This is the guy I was telling you about

who has the dog that can snowboard.

Oh, my gosh, you have Bodi?

Is he here?

- Yeah, yeah, he's out front. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

I'm surprised we didn't see you when we walked in.

Kayla came in, I was outside with Bodi.

Oh, that makes sense.

Kayla and I, we aren't... close.

We used to be when we were younger,

but we grew apart as we got older.

I'm so sorry.

I'm not. She's boring.

All she wants to do is ride.

She's like obsessed.

You know, back in the day in middle school,

she almost had to repeat a grade 'cause she missed so much class.

Oh, I knew she was into it,

I guess I didn't realize how much.

Yeah, it's sad.

So, um, since I'm new here,

I was wondering if you'd wanna catch a flick?

There's a new superhero movie playing at the Cineplex

and I was gonna roll through later.

Another superhero movie?

Aren't there, like, 25 of those?

Yeah, but they're pretty cool.

This one's got Professor Weird. He's kind of my favorite.

Sure, yeah.

Really?

Yeah, uh, it's the weekend,

I don't have any plans, so...

let's watch Mr. Weird, or whatever.

Well, it's, uh, it's Professor.

Professor, doctor, therapist.

His last name's literally Weird, I don't think it matters.

Yeah, I-I guess.

I'm guessing they don't let dogs in the movie theater, right?

No, I don't think so.

My sister is gonna get photos of him before I do

and I need to get some.

It's okay, I gotta go hit the head anyway, so...

What?

The bathroom. I gotta use the bathroom.

Oh, my God, I heard hit and I was like,

"I'm nonviolent, Shaun."

But you were using a metaphor.

Um... yeah, I-I guess.

Oh, say no more, I use them in my captions all the time.

They make me seem deep, you know?

Um... tsk.

Give me your phone.

Today. Cool.

Cute wallpaper.

Okay, so now you're following me.

I will send you the info for my address tonight

and I'm gonna go say bye to Bodi.

- All right. - It's good seeing you, Shaun.

- Good to see you too. - See ya.

See ya.

What are you so happy about?

I may or may not have a date with someone tonight.

Oh, let me guess.

You ran into Barbie and her Mini Me when you were inside?

I did.

And you're going on a date with her?

Affirmative.

That's cool.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna take her to the movies.

Can't really go wrong there.

Man, I literally thought those two were gonna pull Bodi apart.

They kept making him wear your helmet

while they were taking selfies.

So, uh, what are you gonna go see?

I think I'm gonna see the new Professor Weird.

Wait, Professor Weird?

Yeah, you like him?

Yeah, I mean he's kind of my favorite.

Like, the whole idea of the multiverse is pretty sick.

Different dimensions?

Yeah, I mean the fact that there could be multiple superheroes

on different universes on Earth, it's crazy.

Yeah.

Um...

I'm gonna go throw these away.

- I can take 'em. - I-- I got it.

And the way they talked about the eternity stone was brilliant.

I mean, it probably is the most powerful stone in history,

with all the space control and time and everything.

- It was just-- - Wait, let's go right here.

- I like the twinkle lights. - Okay.

- Can you take a pic? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, just hold it vertical and I'll crop it later.

Vertical, Shaun. Vertical.

- Sorry. - Yeah.

- Okay, you good? - Yep.

Higher.

Okay, that's probably good. Do you wanna get one with me?

No, thanks, I'm good.

All right, suit yourself.

- Stop it! Shaun, these are so good. - Are they?

I would take 'em myself, but my self angle is not as good,

you know, so...

Yeah, for sure.

You know what's cool?

My mom said that after graduating, I can do modeling,

so I was thinking of moving to L.A., or New York or even Miami.

Definitely out of Montana.

I don't know, I'm kind of starting to like it here.

You know, obviously, I miss the beach, but...

Yeah, I mean, if I lived in California,

I would never leave, so you're crazy.

Well, you know, it wasn't really my choice.

My dad made me.

Wait, so you didn't wanna move to Montana?

Not that I blame you.

There's nothing fun or cool to do here, so...

I wouldn't say that.

How was L.A.?

Did you get to meet a bunch of celebrities?

I wanna be famous so bad.

No, not really, we live more by the beach, so...

Oh, darn.

Shaun, I have the best idea.

Let's get Bodi on social media.

Think about it, so many dogs are on social media

and Bodi snowboards, he would do numbers...

And if we got him enough followers,

we could get him sponsorships and free stuff in exchange for posting

and... it would be so much fun.

- Yeah, that'd be pretty cool. - Yeah! And, I mean,

we all know you would love to be known

as the guy with the snowboarding dog.

Everyone would love you.

Yeah, I mean, that sounds amazing,

but how do I blow his page up?

Leave it to me. I know social media.

Just send me some photos of Bodi

and I will take care of the captions

and the hashtags and all the good stuff.

Okay, sounds good.

- Good? - Yeah.

I'm so excited.

I've had so much fun tonight, but I think I should head home.

Do you wanna drop me off?

- Yeah, for sure, let's do it. - Okay.

Thank you.

Good morning, California! How was your date last night?

It was fine.

Listen, I'm no expert on human stuff,

but I don't think "fine" is a good thing when it comes to dating.

Yeah, did you and Madison have super deep conversations

about philosophy, the metaverse?

Did she even watch the movie?

Yeah, she-she did,

I think.

Face it, Shaun, that girl's as shallow as a puddle.

I wouldn't say that.

Really?

Well, um, yeah, you know,

she's signing up Bodi on Instagram

and, uh, she's trying to get him sponsors.

Wait, what?

No, no, no, no, I don't like the sound of this.

And she's doing the whole thing by herself,

so I don't gotta worry about anything,

but you know, letting her take pictures of Bodi boarding.

You know what? Do what you want, it's your life.

Oh, hey, by the way,

today's the last day to sign up for the competition,

so why don't you go do that?

I'll get a couple more runs in, and we'll meet back here in 30?

Sounds good. Oh, where's the signups?

Oh, there's a table by the main lodge.

Head over there, you can't miss it.

All right. Hey, come on Bodi, let's go.

- Thanks, bud. - Thank you.

Come on, Bodi.

Next.

Hey, I'm here to sign up for the competition.

Oh, hey, it's you.

Shaun, right?

Signing up after all.

Gotta say I'm surprised.

Why is that?

Well, the competition's for experienced snowboarders

and I was under the impression you just moved here.

Oh, is there a rule where new guys can't enter?

Nah, there's not.

I just don't wanna see you get hurt up there.

Slopes can be a pretty dangerous place

if you don't know what you're doing.

Well... okay.

Well, uh, why don't you let me worry about that

and you sign me up on that stack of papers right there?

Hey, Shaun, not for nothing.

Maybe you should listen to this guy.

You can't even stand up on a board yet.

Hey, man, I wasn't trying to rustle your feathers,

it's just something to think about.

Well, I already thought about it,

so you can add my name to the list.

Sure thing.

Shaun, come on, I don't mean to be rude,

but you really think this is a good idea?

Listen, I've been snowboarding since I was a puppy.

That's like 20 human years.

I could do flips, backflips,

but you, like I say, you're struggling.

Come on, Shaun, get it together.

There you go.

Thanks.

Consider yourself entered into the tournament.

At the very least, it'll be entertaining to watch.

- Good luck. - Thanks.

Come on, Bodi.

Next.

Hey, Shaun.

Hey.

Hey, Bodi.

How's my soon-to-be famous pup doing today?

- You're so cute. - Hey, no more helmet yoga, please.

Okay, so I started working on Bodi's Instagram.

Check it out.

Oh!

His handle is Boarder Dogg with two Gs like Snoop Dogg,

but he's a boarder, obviously.

So it was Madison

who came up with the Boarder Dogg handle.

Two Gs, I gotta say that's pretty clever.

Well, you know, at this point,

I wasn't sure if Madison was into me

or if I wanted to pursue anything at all,

but you know, the idea of having a new friend

and sponsors and free stuff sounded sweet,

so who would say no to that?

Yeah, easy for you to say.

I started posting some of the pictures I took when we first met

and he already has 7,000 followers.

Whoa-wee.

I mean, I really think if we keep posting content,

people will become, like, obsessed with him.

Please say no, please say no,

please say no. I can't keep doing this.

- Sounds good, yeah. - Yay! Perfect. Um...

Okay, so maybe I can borrow Bodi a few times over the next couple weeks

and I will bring him back to you safe and sound.

Okay, yeah. Wouldn't you like that, pup, huh?

Don't talk to me, I'm still processing, you know?

I kinda like her, but there's more to life than social media.

I think we are gonna have so much fun.

I think you're completely wrong.

Okay, well, I have to start training with Kayla,

- so I'm gonna head out. - Oh, okay, um...

So I can take Bodi for a couple hours

and I'll meet you on the mountain when we're done.

Shaun, take me with you, don't leave me here.

- Okay, I'll see you on the mountain. - Okay.

Hey, you be good to Madison, boy, okay?

Hey, I can't make any promises.

Say, "Bye, Shaun."

Bye, Bodi. Here you go.

- Thanks. - Yep.

- See you later. - See you.

Come on, Bodi. Aren't you excited?

Not in the least bit.

Okay, California, you ready?

- Oh, yeah. - Let's do it.

Let's go.

Whoo!

Hey, guys. Hi, how are you?

- Yeah, yeah. - Hey, Bodi.

- There you go. - How are you?

Whoo!

So at this point,

you were a week away from the big tournament.

Tell me, how were you feeling?

You know, I was feeling pretty good.

Kayla kept her promise and was working with me almost every day,

and Madison was working with Bodi to help build his social media.

We were getting free stuff and it sounded pretty sweet.

But you had no idea what was gonna happen next, did you?

Not a clue.

All right, you want a hint?

Well, since you've been such a great sport so far,

here it is. You ready?

I ran away.

I know, things were going well,

Shaun was my BFF, I had newfound internet fame.

Well, to understand the present,

I need to take you back to before I ever met Shaun.

My original owner was a woman named Brianna.

Eh, she was nice,

but, uh, way into her image and I'm not into that stuff.

You over there, assistant girl,

can you talk to this dog for me?

Ah, whatever.

Okay, yes, strike that pose.

Can we get the dog to do something?

Can anybody get this dog to do a trick, something?

Somebody talk to this dog, please,

because I cannot...

Forget it.

Okay, would you like to stay with this look or go with another one?

Obviously, we need the matching hat.

Handsome boy, oh, gorgeous, perfect.

Go, go, go.

So handsome, Bobo.

Yes, your Bodi is so handsome.

He's not miserable one bit.

Now it appears that my card is full.

I'm going to go slide it out for another one

and I will be back in one moment.

You handsome boy.

Oh, my.

You see what's going on with Ariana?

She is in every paper.

I told her polka dots, leopard print.

It doesn't work, like, don't wear them together.

But what am I supposed to know?

I just own a fashion mine.

- Yeah, she looks awful. - Right?

What time is it?

It's almost 1:30.

You need to go get the western wear ready.

Stat, hurry up.

Oh, my gosh, this girl.

I had never felt so exploited in my life.

I mean, look at that fringe jacket.

That's bad enough, but hats? Come on.

And not even a good hat.

That hat! Look at it! I looked ridiculous.

And my Bobo just looks so handsome in my fall collection.

She doesn't even know I'm a pup.

She just thinks I'm some prop.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I said no more sweaters, no more hats,

no more photo shoots for this dog ever, ever again,

so I ran away.

Brianna was nice, but, nah, she wasn't for me.

I said to myself

I would never be taken advantage of ever, ever, ever again

until it happened

- with Shaun. - That's wild.

I mean, who would've thought just by looking at him

that this dog could snowboard?

I know, right? We were all completely surprised.

And now you have branding deals

with the top boarding brands on the mountain,

a new Boarder Dogg music video coming out,

and I hear there's even talk of a movie in the works.

You know, I don't know too much about a movie,

but you know, we're definitely enjoying the ride so far

and we love the fan support and Bodi loves the attention.

Don't you, bud, huh?

Well, with close to 750K followers on IG

and new Boarder Dogg profiles on Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Snapchat, and Twitch,

we're sure to be seeing more of Bodi and his owner Shaun in the future.

Signing off for now, this is Tish Kennedy

and you're watching Splash News.

Things with Shaun were different, you know.

He was becoming just as obsessed with my social media

as Madison was.

And besides,

I felt like my work here was just done, so...

I ran away.

Hey, did you get my voicemail?

Uh, no, sorry,

I keep my phone on silent when we ride so I can focus.

- What's up? - It's Bodi.

- What about Bodi? - He's gone.

I don't know where he is. I think he ran away.

And you looked all over your house for him?

Yes, of course I did. What am I, stupid?

Sorry.

I'm just--

I'm just really worried about him.

You know, he was with me last night after the interview,

but then I woke up this morning, and he was gone, nowhere.

Okay, okay, let's go look for him.

Don't you have to practice for the competition tomorrow?

You're my friend, Shaun, that's what friends do.

Besides, I've gotten plenty of practice over the last couple of weeks

with you on the mountain. Bodi's important.

Hey, guys.

What, no riding preschool today?

You scared of getting your board stuck on the lift?

No, Blake.

My dog's missing and I gotta go find him.

Oh, no, not your dog.

That's so sad.

Without your dog around, nobody's gonna care about you,

a newbie who can barely board.

He's actually gotten really good, Blake.

- You should be nervous. - Nervous?

I have this competition in the bag. This poser doesn't scare me.

Whatever, Blake.

It doesn't matter. I'm probably not even gonna compete anyway.

- What? - What?

I just don't think I can compete

knowing that Bodi's out there alone somewhere.

- Shaun, that's not your fault. - But it is my fault.

Okay? I could tell something was wrong

with all the interviews and the stuff we were doing,

but I ignored it.

- It's my fault he ran away. - No, no, no, wait a minute.

You have to compete.

With all the attention you're getting, if you don't,

people might think you're a better boarder than me.

The people deserve to know who the champ is.

Whatever, Blake.

You're just gonna have to do without me there.

Kayla, tell him.

Come on, let's go print out some posters to put up around the mountain.

Hey, truth be told,

Yeah, I was sad to go back into the streets,

- but it was something I felt I had to do.

Miss you, Bodi.

So you ready?

Um... I think we're gonna need some more flyers.

Why?

What's all this?

Well, I figured we could cover some more ground if we had some help,

so I called in some reinforcements.

But you guys are...

I know, I know.

We don't exactly see eye to eye, but this is more important to us.

We all wanna see Bodi home safe.

So are you gonna post him on Instagram saying he's missing or something?

I have a plan for that as a last resort,

but I think we should just check around the neighborhood.

Yeah, man, we'll find him. Bodi's a valuable dog.

We don't want the wrong people to find out he's missing.

Might draw some unwanted characters to the mountain.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Thank you, guys.

Don't mention it, newbie.

Can't have you sulking around all day,

bringing down our vibes.

Can't have that.

Guys, can we spare the bromance until after we found Bodi?

Thank you.

Well, you guys ready to do this?

- Let's go. - Let's find Bodi.

- Thanks for coming. - Of course.

Bodi!

Excuse me.

Have you seen this dog?

- No, I haven't seen the dog. - Okay.

Hey, excuse me, sir, have you seen this dog?

No, sorry.

Bodi!

Excuse me, have you seen this dog recently?

No, I haven't. I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Bodi! Bodi, where are you, boy?

Bodi!

Oh, Bodi, I hear your master calling.

Hey, look at that. He does care.

Listen to that.

Hey, excuse me, miss, have you seen my dog, Bodi?

Thanks.

Bodi!

I was really touched.

They were all out there looking for me.

Maybe I'll go back, I thought.

Not so fast there, little guy. You're coming with me.

And then things got really crazy.

What a day.

Yeah.

I'm sure we'll find him.

We have everybody on this side of the mountain

looking for him.

Yeah. I hope so.

Just don't like him being out there alone.

You said your dad got him at an animal shelter, right?

Yeah.

Then he was probably on the streets before you got him.

He can take care of himself. He's a tough dog.

I'm sure he'll be fine until we find him.

I hope you're right.

You know, I just don't get it, though.

We searched the whole mountain.

He's got little legs. How far could he go?

We're gonna find him, Shaun.

Bows?

Bows.

No offense, pup. I actually like dogs.

It's just I need leverage for Shaun to compete,

and you're the only thing he really cares about.

Hey, Blake, why don't you be a good psychopath and let me go?

You're making a big mistake.

Don't worry, I'll give you back after the competition.

Or maybe I won't.

Maybe I'll keep you as my dog and we can make videos,

and we can get free stuff. What do you say?

Yeah? I'd rather eat kitty litter.

It doesn't look like you're getting outta here anytime soon.

Now for the next part of my plan.

Hey, come on, you're not really gonna leave me in here.

Come on, I was just kidding ya with the psychopath.

What? He did! He left me.

He left me chained to a bench in a stinky shed!

Ugh! What have I done?

Okay, and again, he's an English bulldog,

his name's Bodi and he has a blue collar.

If you find him, give this number a call back

and I'll come over and pick him up. Thank you.

Oh, and again, my name is Shaun Kendrick.

Thank you so much.

How many more do we have?

Two more to go.

All right, what's the next number?

Um, it's Stafford Animal Shelter. It's 406-4--

Sorry, one second.

What is it?

"Tell Shaun I have his dog.

If he ever wants to see him again,

he needs to compete in tomorrow's tournament.

Whoever beats me in the tournament can have Bodi.

If he doesn't, well, then I guess we'll see

how charitable I feel after I win, and...

If you go to the cops or parents or anyone else,

you'll never see Bodi again.

Your choice. Blake."

Are you serious?

Who does he think he is taking my dog?

- I have to tell someone. - You heard what he said.

If we tell anyone, we might not ever see Bodi again.

Yeah, but do you think he's capable of doing something like that?

You think he's capable of hurting Bodi?

Okay.

All right, then, um,

we have to compete and we have to win.

Do you really think that's possible?

I don't know, but I gotta try.

Yeah, no, you're right, um...

You'll compete, you'll win and you'll get Bodi back.

Hey...

it's gonna be okay.

We'll get him back, okay?

Sorry, you-you know, I think I'm--

I think I'm just tired

- and overwhelmed with everything. - Shaun.

- What? - It's-- it's fine. Um...

You get some rest and I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah. Uh...

No worries. I'll, uh, see you tomorrow too.

Yeah. Thanks again for today.

Don't mention it.

Oh, and... you're awesome, but you already knew that.

Good night, California.

Good night.

So this guy steals your dog,

and in the meantime you're falling for Kayla.

Hey, can we edit that part out of the interview?

Hey, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

From what I can tell, she seems really great.

I mean, she had your back with the missing pup,

the competition, the friends.

Yeah.

Yeah, she is pretty great.

Okay, so next up is the big moment

everyone's been waiting for, right?

It's the day of the annual competition, or in your words,

the biggest event on the mountain.

Yeah, I mean, I was told it was a big deal,

but even people who didn't care about snowboarding were there.

It was like a big community event.

Okay, be honest, Shaun.

Did you get any sleep the night before,

or were you too nervous?

I didn't get much sleep,

but it wasn't because of the nerves.

Oh, I did it this time.

I don't think anybody's gonna come here for me.

I'm getting hungry, I'm getting sleepy, I'm thirsty.

What have I done?

I'm Shannon Nuthe, reporting live from Showdown,

where boarders from across the state

are here to show off their skills

in the 17th Annual Powder Fest.

What a glorious day here on our amazing mountain.

This mountain where I was conceived,

born, came of age, learned to be a man.

It's the mountain that made me

the legendary announcer that I am.

As a reminder, if you value your lives,

do not drift onto the snowboarding course for any reason.

You could get seriously injured.

Tensions are high today.

Why are they high?

Because you are about to witness

some of the sickest snowboarding

by the fiercest snowboarders

from around the great state of Montana.

And how will this all go down, you ask?

There will be three rounds.

The first round is the single elimination round.

The top ten survivors from round one

will proceed to round two,

which is all about speed--

your speed, blinding speed.

The top three finishers will advance

to the third and final round,

the skills round.

Ladies and gentlemen, friends and neighbors,

help me give a Showdown shout-out to our celebrity judges.

Judge number one, two-time Olympian,

national champion, X Games medalist,

the Ninja, Graham Watanabe!

Mr. Watanabe,

it is an honor to have you here today.

It's truly a pleasure.

Good day.

Judge number two,

the premier IFMGA mountain guide,

professional alpinist Hurston Dunlap.

What's up?

Judge number three,

last and certainly least,

Eugene.

Eugene is the local dog catcher.

He volunteers for town council.

What else? That's about it,

isn't it, Eugene?

Somehow he managed to weasel his way onto a celebrity panel.

Thank you, Eugene.

- Hey. - Hey.

How are you feeling?

Fine. Nervous. Just, you know,

wanna beat Blake so I can get my dog back.

You got this.

- Good luck today. - Thanks, you too.

Let's go warm up.

As a reminder, folks,

round one is our elimination round.

The top ten finishers will move on to round two.

Competing today, we have Shaun Kendrick,

the owner of Bodi, the Snowboarding Dog.

I haven't seen Bodi around today,

but I'm hoping to catch up with him later.

He has surely become the talk of the town this month.

Okay, gentlemen,

let's get this competition underway.

Go ahead, rider.

All right, here we go.

Eight, seven, nine.

Next up, Shaun Kendrick.

Yeah! Go, Shaun!

Yeah, California!

Oh, yes, yes!

- That's my son, Shaun. - Wow.

We just-- we just moved here.

He just picked this up like a month ago.

Go, Shaun!

Eight, seven, seven.

Yeah!

That was Shaun Kendrick, owner of Bodi, who I mentioned earlier.

For those cool kids out there who wanna catch up with Bodi on social media,

you can find him at his call sign

@Boarder Dogg.

Boarder as in snowboarder.

B-O-A-R-D-E-R D-O-G-G, two Gs on that.

Very clever, from Shaun.

Yep, we've got three riders on deck.

- Oh, ouch! - That has got to hurt,

but it's-it's part of the sport, right?

Let's get that guy some hot cocoa

- and an ice pack. - I'm all right.

Unfortunately, he probably won't be moving on to round two.

Time for 54, 54.

What's it gonna be for Kayla Cooper?

Ten, nine, nine!

Number two, Jennings, you're up.

Undeniable.

- Whoo! - Ooh-wee!

Our first perfect score of the day.

Three 10s for Blake Jennings.

Blake is last year's champion

and it looks like he's planning to repeat.

- Yeah! - He'll be the one to beat

moving into the next round.

Right before that, we had Kayla Cooper,

also a crowd favorite.

Wow!

You know, I knew you were good, but that was amazing.

You know, you weren't so bad yourself, California.

You ready for round two?

Ready as I'll ever be.

- Bows? - Bows.

- Hey, Shaun, whoa! Whoa! - Dad?

That was amazing!

I did not realize you guys were training so hard.

That was incredible!

- Thanks. - I'm serious, you know? I was impressed.

I could never do that.

That was awesome. Oh, hey, have you seen Bodi?

'Cause he wasn't at the house when I left

and I figured he must be with you.

He's... um...

You know, someone's watching him. I took care of it.

- I'll handle everything. - Um, okay, cool. Um...

I'm gonna get some more cornbread. You guys want cornbread?

It is good cornbread. Want some?

No, thanks, I'm good.

We gotta head up to the mountain.

All right, of course, yeah.

Focus on the race. All right, I'll be watching.

Your dad seems cool.

Yeah.

Yeah, he is.

- Ready to kill this? - Yeah.

Okay, folks, the scores are in

and the riders moving on to the next round are:

Blake Jennings, Kayla Cooper, Trevor Stevens.

We have Jenna Thompson, Mark Slater, Chance Novak,

Sabrina Kennedy.

Oh, gossip queen Madison Green,

Tyler Bronson, and our newest mountain sensation,

Shaun Kendrick.

- You're going down, loser. - You know what I like about you, Blake?

- That hurt? Does that hurt? - You know what I like about you?

- What's that? - Nothing.

Just planting my flag for victory, bro.

Hey, Shaun,

what do you think I should name your dog

after I decide not to give him back?

If I don't get my dog back,

I'm gonna make sure you wish you never met me.

What about Piggy?

He kinda looks like a-a piggy.

Good luck.

Hey, don't let him get to your head.

Just focus, Shaun, that's all that matters now.

You have to make top three to advance.

You can do this.

All right, here we go, riders.

In three, two, one.

Darn it, Blake!

Loser!

There you have it, folks.

The three riders advancing to the final round are:

Kayla Cooper, Blake Jennings,

and surprising newcomer, Shaun Kendrick.

We'll take a 15-minute break,

give you a chance to stretch your legs,

get some refreshments before returning for round three.

And then... we will crown this year's champ.

Well, it's-it's a trophy, but you understand.

We will... The winner will be announced.

See you soon.

What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? I gotta get myself outta here.

My goodness, what am I gonna do?

Oh, man, I'm really stuck.

This is terrible.

Who's out there?

I got teeth and I know how to use 'em.

I said we have to push at the same time if we want to open it.

I am pushing.

Let's try again.

One, two, three!

- Hey! - It's Bodi. He is in there.

You guys found me, I can't believe it.

Of course we found you, Bodi.

This nose could sniff you out anywhere.

I'm gonna take that as a compliment, how's that?

- Who did this to you? - Blake.

He's using me to get back at Shaun.

We need to get outta here and make sure Shaun's okay.

What do we do, Honeycomb?

Flip Flop, you're gonna have to take his collar off.

But Shaun gave that to me.

- Hey, you wanna get outta here? - Yeah.

You boys need to hurry.

All right, stay still.

I don't got any thumbs, this is the best we can do.

Okay, do it.

- Almost there, almost there.

Come on, bubbo! Flip Flop, stop! Come on.

- That tickles. - Almost there, almost there.

- Stop, Flip Flop. - Ah, got it.

Guys, thank you both.

You're the best friends any dog could ask for.

Of course, pal. We've always got your back.

Okay, okay, enough with the pleasantries.

We got a competition to attend, no?

Come on, we gotta go find Shaun. Let's get outta here.

Round three, here we come.

Round three, here we come.

Ready to lose, newbie?

I can't wait for everybody to see what a poser you really are.

You know what, Blake? why don't you mind your own business

and focus on yourself?

You're so insecure, you have to constantly put others down.

Take a look in the mirror. You're the poser.

You know, maybe if you weren't such a jerk all the time,

people would actually wanna be friends with you.

Whatever.

- You ready to head back up? - You bet.

Let's do it.

Hurry up, guys, they're gonna try to stop us.

- Run boys, run! - I am.

Oh, hey, what's with the stray dogs?

Hey, who's in charge here? You, Percival?

- Sort of. - You know, if it's the last thing I do,

those dogs are all gonna be in the back of my truck.

Whoa, whoa, dog man, put a muzzle on it.

We're here to judge, not harass the animal.

- But-- - No, no but.

- No buts. - Yeah, yeah. Yeah, man.

Yeah, what he said.

You gotta get your head in the game.

Let's get back to it, gentlemen.

For this third and final round,

riders are judged on their performance,

the quality of the tricks and the number of tricks landed.

The previous rounds have no bearing on this final round,

so it's anyone's game.

It's anyone's match to win.

First up, Shaun Kendrick.

This is for you, Bodi.

Go, Shaun!

And what do the judges say?

Nine, nine, and ten for Shaun Kendrick!

Yeah! All right.

Jennings, number two, you're up.

Hey, Blake, remember me, tough guy?

Excuse me, I'll be taking that.

- Here we go. - Get him, Bodi!

- Stop that dog. - Wait, this is my run!

Go, Bodi, go!

Oh, there's some commotion up at the top of the hill.

- Bodi! - Catch me if you can.

- Go, Bodi! - Bodi, get over here!

Almost gotcha.

Whoa!

Later, Blake!

Blake Jennings is down!

Let's show them what riding

really looks like.

Woo-hoo!

It's Bodi, the Snowboarding Dog.

It's Bodi!

- It's Bodi! Oh, my God! - He's doing the run for Blake!

- Can he do that? - Yeah!

Yeah!

- It's Bodi! It's Bodi! - Hit the ramp.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Bodi! Stop!

This is great.

Oh, yeah, backflip.

Comin' in hot, baby.

Flyin' down to ya!

- Ah, I missed you, Shaun, so much! - Oh, my God.

Bodi, you're here.

- I love ya, buddy. - I missed you, boy.

- I'm so sorry I ran away. - I'll never do anything like that again! I swear!

That fall by Blake looked like it hurt.

Luckily, he had a rider on standby,

and I'm not sure a dog can fill in for a human.

We'll have to check with the judges,

see what they have to say.

I don't know about you, but it's certainly a first for me.

What do we have for the snowboarding pup?

A ten, a ten! Zero.

There's no dogs allowed!

That's right. Boo that man!

No!

You guys don't get it. There was a pack of dogs up there

and they distracted me. I should get to go again.

I want a do-over.

There shouldn't be dogs on the mountain during competition.

- I'm with him. He's right. - It should be me and the other riders.

- The rule book says that I should get-- - Tell us, Blake.

What does the rule book say about messing with another rider's gear?

- I don't know what you're talking about. - Highly unlikely, bro.

My binding was tight at the top of the hill

when I was about to start the race, I know it.

You were the only one walking around

when everybody was getting ready.

Yeah, and I remember you laughing when Trevor fell,

like you knew it was gonna happen.

Is that true?

No.

It's not true, they're lying.

Not cool, man, not cool.

Stop being a turd.

Bye!

It appears the reign of Blake Jennings has come to an end.

He will not be crowned Powder Fest Champion.

Last up, we have Kayla Cooper.

She was last year's runner up and she is going to give it her best

to be this year's champion.

Wow, that was a great run by Kayla Cooper.

I haven't seen boarding like that in years.

Let's hear it for Kayla Cooper!

Now let's see if the judges agree.

Ten, ten...

Ten! You don't need a count...

- Yes! - ...to figure that one out, folks!

You did great. Congratulations.

It is my great pleasure to announce this year's winner,

and new Montana Powder Fest Champion,

Kayla Cooper!

Unbelievable!

That's her! Come back next year, I bet she'll do it again!

Blake went down from a blaze of glory!

No glory!

Hey, how ya doin'?

Oh, my, she does smell good. It's like frosting.

This guy smells like some sort of skunk.

That was a great job, son.

I'm so proud of you. That was incredible.

Thanks, Dad.

Glad you're back, Bodi.

I'm so glad to be back.

This is gonna be great.

I love a happy ending.

Hold on, hold on, let-let me see if I have this straight.

So Kayla wins the big competition,

Bodi finds you on the mountain,

and now the other two dogs, they're adopted?

Yeah, that's right.

It all ended up working out.

What worked out?

Whoa, is that who I think it is?

Is that Miss Powder Fest Champion herself?

Yes, it is.

Hey, Kayla!

What are you doing sitting there with Shaun and Bodi?

Um, following through on his promise.

Yeah, uh, we've gotta get going.

I don't think so, Shaun. What promise is that?

Well, you know, Shaun promised

if I taught him how to snowboard, he'd teach me how to surf.

All right, Shaun, I think we have what we need for our interview,

and I wanna thank you on behalf of the viewers

for sharing your story with everyone.

But one quick thing before you go, Shaun.

Will you be posting any more snowboard videos of Bodi for his fans?

Only once in a while, when Bodi feels like boarding.

No more making him do anything he doesn't wanna do.

Life happens when you put your phone down.

Hey, now that's a plan.

All right, folks, this is Alec Masterson signing off for Studio 87.

Today, we had the pleasure of speaking with Shaun Kendrick

about his snowboarding pup, Bodi,

better known by his handle, Boarder Dogg.

That's Boarder Dogg with two Gs.

Oh, actually, we changed that.

Oh, okay, really?

Well, the viewers wanna know, Shaun,

how will Bodi henceforth be named?

It's "Powder Pup."

Hey, cowabunga, dudes. Let's go surfin'.
