Summary
Josh is thinking about how his mother, Sarah, is not happy about the dogs, and that she will also be disappointed when she realises that Josh will never go to college like her other son John. Josh starts to think about getting his own place. After the run he goes home, and gets a call from Dennis who is is a panic as his wife Amanda is threatening to kill his dogs, Dennis pleads with Josh to take them away. Though distraught, Dennis refuses any money for the dogs or equipment that Josh takes away as quickly as he can. When Josh gets to Mark & Jackie's he finds Mike and Greg there as well. After unloading the dogs they discuss the Warsaw Run, where they had had to change the rules to try and deflect criticism from people who believe that dog racing is cruel to the dogs. To comply with ASDA rules they've increased the number of dogs the teams have to have. They decide to modify the route so that it makes complying with the rules easier. Greg brings up a problem with Tiffany's age, which is solved by postponing the race by a week so that she is over 14. After Mike & Greg leave, Josh raises the idea of getting his own place with Mark & Jackie. Mark advises Josh to talk to Walt, but that he'll start looking himself.
