Ted enters his first Alaskan bar and sees a dog sitting in a booth inside licking some beer out of the glass belonging to the man next to him. The beer was actually chicken broth. Soon, the intimidating sled-racing champ Thunder Jack (James Coburn) enters the bar, causing the beer-swilling canine to cower underneath the table. A trainer off-camera cued the dog to cower and rewarded the animal with a treat.
