Bob reveals who he is searching for in the aftermath of the storm: his sister Boss. He reveals that in his days as a puppy living at the mall with Ivan, he would sneak out every day to look for her on the highway. He also reveals that earlier that day, when he and Julia and George passed the shelter, he thought that he heard Boss’s bark from inside.
The streets are flooded, and Bob must fight his way through mud and water to reach the dog shelter, where a kind employee brings him inside and places him in a cage with another dog. Bob immediately realizes that it’s his long-lost sister Boss, and the two lick each other and wrestle joyfully.
