INT. CABIN - MINNESOTA - PREDAWN

SUPER: MINNESOTA WILDERNESS 1831

Barely visible by the fireplace glow are two sleeping forms.
With a loud THUMP, a HUGE DOG jumps onto the bed. He treads
carefully between the two figures and pushes one with his
nose. A hand comes up to swat him away. An irritated
female voice mumbles.
