Meanwhile, Tweed's neighbor, a hunter named Amos Slade, brings home a young hound puppy named Copper and introduces him to his hunting dog Chief. Tod and Copper become playmates, and promise to remain "friends forever
.".

Amos Slade gets angry at Copper for always running off to play, and puts a leash on him. While playing with Copper at his home, Tod awakens Chief. AmosSlade and Chief chase him until they are stopped by Tweed.

After an argument, AmosSlade says that he wants to kill Tod and he will do anything to get him. When hunting season comes he takes the dogs and goes on a hunting trip. Meanwhile, Big Mama tells Tod that his friendship with Copper cannot continue, because they are natural enemies, but Tod does not want to believe her.

Months pass, and Tod and Copper are now adults. On the night when Copper returns, Tod comes and asks if they are still friends. Copper says that "those days are over" and that "I'm a hunting dog now."

Copper warns Tod that Chief will wake up but Tod says that Chief does not worry him. Chief wakes up anyway and alerts Amos Slade. They chase Tod and Copper finds him. Copper lets Tod go and leads Chief and AmosSlade to go a different way then to Tod, and Tod tries to escape on a railroad track. But Chief finds him and chases Tod, and when a moving train suddenly comes fast, Tod is able to duck under the vehicle, and when the train sails right over Tod, Chief is now struck and wounded when being knocked off the bridge. Copper and AmosSlade blame Tod for Chief's accident and they swear that they will get them if it is the last thing they do.

Tweed knows that Tod is no longer safe with her and leaves him in a game preserve. Big Mama introduces him to a lady fox named Vixey, where things seem perfect, but Amos and Copper trespass into the preserve and hunt the two foxes. But while AmosSlade and Copper are trying to find Tod and Vixey, they accidentally cause an attack from a [[bear]] which suddenly attacks them. Amos. Slade trips and gets caught in one of his own traps and his gun falls just. He drops his gun out of his reach, and Copper tries to fight the bear, and hebut is soon overwhelmed. Against his better judgement, Tod quickly intervenes to save his friend, and he continues to battle the much larger bear and ends up luring him on to an old fallen trunk of a log, which breaks and sends the two both plummeting down the reserve's waterfall.

The bear is killed, and Tod survives, but he is wounded and nearly dead. As Copper approaches Tod as he lies in the lake below, AmosSlade appears and is ready to fire at Tod, but Copper puts his body in front of Tod, and refuses to move away. AmosSlade finally lowers his gun and leaves with Copper, but not before the two former rivals share one last smile before parting. At home, Tweed nurses AmosSlade back to health while the dogs rest. Copper, before resting, smiles as he remembers the day when he became friends with Tod. On a hill Vixey joins Tod as he looks down on the homes of Copper and WidowTweed.
