:05:02
Rex stayed with them
right through the night.
:05:06
By morning,
the sheep were drowned.
:05:09
- And when they found Rex,
he was barely alive.
- [ Babe ] Oh, Mom!
:05:14
[ Fly ] Two weeks rest in front of
the fire saw him back on his feet.
:05:17
But his hearing
was never the same again.
:05:20
He'd never want anyone to know,
but he's almost totally deaf.
:05:25
- ls that why he's so, you know, angry?
- That's not the half of it.
:05:30
[ Fly ] All this was barely a month
before the Grand National Challenge.
:05:33
He tried his best, but he couldn't hear
the boss's calls, and it slowed him up.
:05:38
The cold truth is that,
but for the stupidity of sheep,
:05:41
Rex would've been
the champion of champions.
:05:49
Good dog.
:06:00
[ Hammering ]
:06:16
That's it, all right.
Good.
:06:18
[ Hoggett ]
Here we go. All right.
:06:22
Now, through here like this.
:06:25
And then, big hook to the left.
Big hook.
:06:27
Big hook.
Through this gate here.
:06:31
[ Narrator ] lt was at that
time that Mrs. Hoggett began
to worry about her husband.
:06:36
But Farmer Hoggett knew
that little ideas...
:06:41
that tickled and nagged
and refused to go away...
:06:44
should never be ignored...
:06:46
for in them lie
the seeds of destiny.
:06:50
Close the gate like that,
and you're done.
:06:56
A Tragic Day.
