Austin, Texas

1931

On the outskirts of the city, is a small ranch. It's an basic looking farm. A house, barn, wide open feilds and all that. On this farm lives the farmer Richerd and his wife Casey. Also living with them are there two loyal dogs. A male husky named Cole and his mate Linda a golden retriever. One day Richerd noticed that Linda was not looking so good. He took her to the vet's and he confermed that she was pregnet. Cole was very exited to hear this. They have been waiting for the time for the pups to come. And that time is now.

It's night time. Richerd and Casey are asleep. The dogs have been in the barn the past few nights. The moon is bright as Aniu's snow white fur, the stars are shining, and the air is cold as ice. In the barn Linda wakes up to a large strike of pain. Cole, who is sleeping next to her wakes up as well.

Cole: Whats wrong?

Linda: I think my water just broke.

Cole: Shit...ok. Stay here and I'll get Richerd and Casey.

Cole bolts out of the barn. He runs throught the dog door of the house and runs into the master bed room. He barks and walks over the humans. They both get up and Casey turns on the light.

Casey: What's up with him?

Richerd: I don't know. Cole calm down.

Cole barks in alarm and runs out of the room.

Richerd: I think he wants us to follow him.

Casey: Lets go!

They follow Cole out of the house and into the barn. They see Linda on the floor breathing very fast.

Casey: look like It's time.

Richerd: Ok your dad was a vet once, do you know how to do this?

Casey: Yes. I'll need some towels.

Richerd: Anything else?

Casey: Yeah. Stay outside, I'll need some room. Cole too.

Richerd: No problem. I'll be back!

They quickley kiss and Richerd bolts into the house. Cole wait by Linda's side until he comes back.

Richerd: Ok, Cole come.

Cole looks and Linda.

Linda: Don't worry I'll be fine.

He smiles at her and she licks him on his cheek. Cole and Richerd go out side and close the door. The sun starts to rise. Some whineing sound can be heard from inside the barn. Cole is paceing back and forth in front of the door. Richerd is sitting on the ground nibbleing on a piece of hay and moveing around his mouth. After about an hour, Casey comes out of the door.

Richerd pulls out the hay and keeps it in his hand.

Richerd: Well?

Casey smiles at him and gets down to Cole.

Casey: Your the father of four beautiful pups now Cole.

She turns to Richerd.

Casey: Let's let him go in first.

Richerd: Of course.

Cole slowley walks in to the barn. He sees four little puff balls in front of Linda.

Cole: There beautiful. Just like you.

They look down and see that three of the pups look like Linda and one of them looks like Cole.

Linda: And you.

Richerd comes in and sits down.

Richerd: Wow. There amazing. Great job Casey.

Casey: We still have to name them.

Richerd looks to the pups. He picks one of the retreivers and sees that its a girl.

Richerd: This one kind of looks like a Sadie to me.

The dogs bark.

Casey: Thats a yes from the parents.

Richerd takes another one. He sees that it is a boy.

Richerd: How about... Luke?

The dogs bark again. He sets Luke down and picks up the last retreiver.

Richerd: This is girl and she looks like a Taylor to me.

The dogs bark. He sets Taylor down and picks up the husky pup.

Richerd: This one is a boy. And man is he strong looking fellow.

Casey: We should give him a name that sound strong and tough.

Richerd: How about Jim. Just a thought.

The dogs bark at that.

Casey: Looks like they like the name.

Richerd: Ok then. Sadie, Luke, Taylor and Jim, welcome to the famliy.

Casey: I think that we should leave them alone.

Richerd: Ok then.

They walk out of the barn and close the door behind them.

Two years later

Something is running in the feild. The tall grass is covering whatever it is. It pokes it's head and reveals to be Jim. He looks at the chicken pen and smiles when he sees a large group of chickens.

Jim: heh, heh.

He bolts out of the tall grass and jumps over the fence. The chickens scatter over the pen. Jim chases one of them and to the edge of the fence. But the chicken jumps out of the way and Jim slams into the fence post. It falls over and a bunch of chickens run out of the pen and into a large feild. Richerd leaps out of the front dorr and Cole is right beside him. They get the chickens back into the pen and Richerd sets some boards around the fence of the pen. Jim tries to sneak away from behind them.

Cole: Jim.

Jim: Damn it.

Cole turns around.

Cole: Son we...

Richerd: Damn it Jim!! Come here.

He grabs Jim by his coller. From the house Taylor and Sadie laugh as they watch Jim being dragged near the barn.

Luke: Will you two knock it off. That's not funny.

Taylor: Yes it is.

Sadie: Seeing Jim get in trouble. You dont think it's funny?

Luke: No, you should feel sorry for him.

Taylor: Why?

Just then Linda walks into the room.

Linda: cause he's your brother. 

Luke: And he's different from us.

Sadie: What do you mean? 

Linda: He's not like us. Jim is not a farm dog.

Taylor: I guess your right about that.

Richerd throws Jim into the barn.

Richerd: Stay in here until you behave!

Cole slips by him.

Richerd: I'll give you a few minutes Cole.

Jim lies down on the floor and Cole walks over to him.

Cole: You know that your in serious trouble this time?

Jim: I know. 

Cole: You need to lean know what to do and what not to do.

Jim: I've tried. I just dont feel like I belong here.

Cole: Do you really feel that way?

Jim: Yes. I want to find adventure. Travel to places beyond this little farm.

Cole: You can do that you know.

Jim: I can?

Cole: Of course. You just could have told us and we would have listend to you.

Jim: Then can go?

Cole takes a deep breath.

Cole: Yeah you can. But... leave in the dead of night and you would have to say goodbye to the others.

Jim: I will.

Cole: Get some rest son, you have a long quest ahead of you.

Cole leaves the barn. Later that night in the barn, Sadie rushes up to Jim and nuzzels him.

Sadie: I wish you luck.

She backs away and Taylor comes up to him.

Taylor: Well... just dont get hurt.

She nuzzels him and backs away. Luke comes up and he holds out his paw. Jim smiles at him and gives Luke a high five.

Luke: I hope I'll be able to see you again.

Jim: Don't worry man.

Luke backs away and Linda comes up.

Linda: Good luck. I hope you'll find what your looking for.

Jim: I will. I'll find away to send you a picture or something.

Linda licks the side of his face. Cole comes up to him. 

Cole: Here son, I want you to have these. 

Cole the military dog tags he has around his neck and puts them around Jim. Cole the reaches for Jim's coller and and pulls it off him. 

Jim: I can't take your dad's dog tags.

Cole; He gave these to me before he died. I loved to hear him tell his strories about serving as an attack dog in the Great War. I wanted to wait until I was old and weak. But seeing this, I think now would be the best time.

Jim: Thanks dad.  

Cole: Who knows maybe you'll find something else on the adventure of yours.

Jim: I'll just have to see.

Cole: Where do you think your gonna go?

Taylor: What the best place to find adventure, to you?

Jim: Well... I herd that theres some things that go on in Nome, Alaska.

Sadie: Are you nuts!?

Linda: That's across the boarder. You'll need to find away to slip past it.

Jim: Relax. I'll think of something. So until then... goodbye my family.

Not another word is said. Jim opens the door and runs off. His family watch until he passes over a hil and out of sight.

About a month passes, from the hot desserts of New Mexico and Arizona, to the rapid growing Las Vegas, and Portland, Oregon, Jim has made it to the historical city of Seattle, Washington. He sneaks behind a butches shop and digs for some bones in the garbage. He finds a nice bone and he looks for a place to stay for the night. He finds a big box in an sits down and starts to eat. After a few minutes, the wind starts to pick up and a newspaper page flies into the box and covers Jim's face.

Jim: What the hell?

He shakes it off and looks at the newspaper to find anything intresting.

Jim: Ok...lets see what's going on in the world. Monkey's esacape a zoo, Shaving people's back is a crime now, Grandmother beats up a guy with her cane, Balto dies....What!?

Jim looks at the article and reads it out loud.

 "Balto, the dog that saved Nome dies along with his mate Jenna. This wolf dog who was once an out cast is now being mounrd by the town of Nome. But Balto and Jenna left the world with there five beautiful pups. They were buried on a hill that over looks the town of Nome. And Balto's son Kodi took his father's sled dog racing legecy of helping the town by joining the mail team. All that we can hope is that Balto's pups will find mate and expand the wolf dog race." 

Jim sees a picture of Balto's pups. And there names are listed from left to right as they are in the picture.

Order of pups from left to right: Stark, Kodi, Hunter, Sara and Dingo.

Jim: Wow.

He looks at the picture of Sara for a few minutes.

Jim: She's beautiful. I would like to meet her. I think I'll keep this. I wonder what else is in this newspaper.

He looks at it more and finds a interesting article.

Jim: Vital information for your every day life? Hmm.

He looks down the article and starts to laugh.
