I decided to add a section for references and callbacks since these stories have quite a few of them. There are a couple of things that I don’t really count as references since they’re pretty much a constant in the movies. One of them is Runt climbing a বৃক্ষ and the other is Humphrey logboarding, both of which I tried to include at least once in the stories that I could include them in.

Right away, I made a reference to the সেকেন্ড movie দ্বারা addressing the fact that Garth and Lilly were living in the tall grass. There’s a reference to the first movie after Kate finds out that she’s pregnant and wants to tell Winston and Eve. Humphrey recalls the moment from the first movie when he and Kate got back from Idaho. Eve mistakenly thinks that Humphrey got Kate pregnant, and she attacked him. And lastly, of course, I slipped the deleted scene in at the very end.


Missing Parents

There weren’t many references in Missing Parents অথবা The Legend of the Peaceful Warrior, mainly because that wasn’t my first priority. I wrote these to fill in the plot hole of Humphrey’s past and I wasn’t really thinking about making references অথবা callbacks.
The only callback in Missing Parents is in chapter two when Winston tells Humphrey that he’s better off taking all three pups instead of just one, since the other two will follow anyway. This is a reference to the সেকেন্ড movie, when Kate and Humphrey go off to find Runt and tell Stinky and Claudette to stay at the den. However, Stinky and Claudette go and follow them, and Kate and Humphrey end up bringing them along anyway.


The Legend of the Peaceful Warrior

The only thing in this story that I can really call a reference is when Humphrey’s life flashes before his eyes before he “dies”. When I wrote this story, I was mainly focused on giving a great big climactic battle to end the whole franchise, so I wasn’t focused at all on making callbacks to anything.
