Story: Theo was the oldest in a litter of five, born to a husky father and a border collie mother. His father Rex was a famous champion sled dog, while his mother Meena was a regular house pet. From a very young age, Theo loved watching his father race and developed a passion for the sport, and eventually started secretly training on the beach. As he grew older, Rex saw potential in his son, and considered him to be his follower as lead dog, once he retired. This caused a huge competition between Theo and his brother Mason, who was also hoping to win that honor. Almost daily would the br0thers compete, and bicker at each other, however one day news came that Rex had been killed in a tragic accident during a race. This was a shock to the entire family, and Theo had a really hard time dealing with and accepting his father's death, but since he was the eldest, he tried his best to hide his emotions and support his family, especially his mother. All this drove him to pursue his goals even more, and eventually, Theo became the lead dog of Rex's team, while Mason became the wheel dog.While Mason was still a tad bitter, both of them agreed to let go of their competition and put their differences aside, and do their best to live up to their father's legacy. One day however, tragedy struck once again, when whilst racing another team, Theo's team got buried in an avalanche. A search party came to look for them as soon as they heard about the accident, and found everyone else, but not Theo. Finally, he was found by some Inuit men, who took him to their village, and two days later, he awoke, suffering from a complete memory loss. During his recovery, Theo befriended a young Inuit boy, who he became best pals with. As time passed, Theo slowly started getting his memory back, he remembered his family and his life in Nome, and as soon as the natives saw how he was clearly home sick, they decided to take him back - even though it was hard for Theo to say goodbye to the young Inuit boy. He was happily reunited with his mother and brothers, and then rushed to the hospital to see his musher, who was also happy and relieved to see him. That's when he met a dog named Maya, who worked at the hospital as a therapy dog. Theo fell for her instantly, and she was the only one he could truly open up to about everything he'd been through, as she understood him better than anyone else. Eventually, Theo confessed his feelings to Maya, only to find out that she felt the same way, and they became mates.
