<P> After surviving a thunderstorm , the flying house lands on a tepui opposite Paradise Falls . Carl and Russell harness themselves to the still - buoyant house and begin to walk it across the mesa , hoping to reach the falls before the balloons deflate . Russell encounters a tall , colorful flightless bird , known as the mythical `` Snipe '' , whom he names `` Kevin '' . They then meet a Golden Retriever named Dug , who wears a special collar that allows him to speak and who vows to take the bird to his master . The next day , they encounter a pack of aggressive dogs led by Alpha , a Doberman Pinscher , and are taken to their master , who turns out to be Charles Muntz . Muntz invites Carl and Russell aboard his dirigible , where he explains to them that he is searching for a giant bird . When Russell notes the bird 's similarity to Kevin , Muntz becomes hostile , believing they are attempting to capture the bird themselves . Carl flees with Kevin and Dug , but Muntz captures Kevin and starts a fire beneath Carl 's house , forcing him to choose between saving it or Kevin . After Carl saves the house , he and Russell eventually reach the falls , though Russell is upset at Carl for abandoning Kevin . Carl looks through Ellie 's childhood scrapbook and is surprised to find that she has filled in the blank pages with photos of their marriage , along with a note thanking him for the `` adventure '' and encouraging him to go have a new one . </P>
