Two actor performances in the style of a scene out of a movie.
In a steampunk world where air travel is king, a retired border collie weapons designer tries to come to terms with having killed thousands with his inventions in a war between wolves and dogs. He finds a chance at redemption when he rescues a pair of kidnapped wolf pups and enlists the help of a pit bull pilot struggling to prove herself in a male-dominated business. Together they'll take a floating barge across the islands fighting local patrols and the remains of the bloody war to bring the wolf pups home.
Arne is the lead manager of an industrial plant that made a fortune on military contracts. With the war over, the board has ordered the plant to repurpose itself for civilian purposes, where it's almost certain they'll uncover the illegal deals Arne made to secure the contracts. In a bid to get the war fired up again, Arne sends Blaine to look into a former engineer of his who was executed for being a spy for the wolves. He gets more than he expected when he learns that not only did his former engineer house wolves, but pups he recognizes as being related to the lupine royal family.
When the drought runs too long, a village of coyotes grows desperate. An old coyote cry says a gift of silver and turquoise brought to the top of Arizuma mountain will bring skywater. Carol is the only adult without pups, so she reluctantly takes on the challenge to climb the mountain with the village's last riches. She understands little about the old magic she's tasked to summon, leaving her having to trust the absent-minded and disconnected ringtail who joins her on her journey.
Milton has learned he can't convince Caroline not to take her silver to the top of Arizuma mountain. So he figures if the world is going to end, he might as well tag along for it. That leaves the grounded Caroline with the silly ringtail in tow, a reluctant pair, but the only partner she has on the lonely mountain. This scene opens with the pair taking a rest, and Milton trying to liven up the mood by showing off his impressive tail-juggling.

Preferring her strange host over the rain, Digger cautiously spends the night.
The dams may have given the city its water supply, but it also flooded the farms, turning good fields into worthless swamp. Of course, the city hoofers never did care much for the country, leaving the now out-of-work horses, donkeys and cattle to fend for themselves.

Now with the swamp sheriff smelling an opportunity at some fat reward money, it's a fight to hide the longear as long as she can.
