In an extended sequence in this album, a pig's car skids off an icy road, freefalls, lands on a skislope, races a skier, launches off a rooftop ramp, lands on a skijump ramp, lands atop a jetliner, slides off, collides with a hang glider, and comes to rest on an apt rooftop!

This album was winner of Le Point magazine's prix de la BD 2005.

From the publisher:

Salvatore is a dog. Salvatore is also a garage mechanic. And a good one at that: he is known throughout the region! Someone who has elevated mechanics to the level of art. And yet, Salvatore lives right up in the mountains, far away from noise and people. He does not like people very much. Those who hurry him when he is savouring his fondue, or those who prevent him from enjoying a cigarette and reading the newspaper after a meal. So he shamelessly makes them wait. And sometimes, he even steals a part from the engines entrusted to him... Like well-oiled machinery, Salvatore has conceived a diabolical plan to find Julie, the one he loves. And no one will stand in his way, no one.
