to, thi stime spend time beside the hot of the boilers" i said, she agreed and we walked together beside eachother, laughing and playing to chase and tickle eachother, we got to the boiler room and once i oppened the door by poking the screws with my nails out  and shejumped off me by my back! making me fall to floor and begun tickling me in my ribs, "eh no not there cheater i wasn't ready!" i said poking her away and laughing, and tickled her aswell under her armpits  an pressing slowly with my teeths trying to avoid hurting her, my whole mind was taken by love, i could spend the whole day tickling her, it was so pleasant o my heart, it was teh only thing actually i loved form my life, ell i love a lot of stuff from my new life, but the best this one, once we got tired i lied down beside a boiler somewhat cold since i didn't relly get my body in heat from the cold outside, and guess what? she lied down over me, " are you better now?" she asked me, i smield and closed my eyes "if god saved me a spot beside him in teh heaven i wouldn't be happier than right now..." i said, she seemed to like my phrase and even tought she was over me, she lied her muzzle next to mine and closed her eyes sighting with me at the same time, and there we spent the whole morning until lunch time, this afternoon i would be taken to the races, and then i could see her again, i oculdn't wait to! so i was at my home sitting there after having a full plate of sausages, yes proper frankfort sausages, madewith a proper pan in a proper fire, they tasted sooo much better than when i ate them crude in the alley i used to live before, i also wondered what was wrong with Cody today, why didn't he want to play with me? like he had been doing for a whole month, i went to my bed to take a nap still wondering, ungil tired of thinking without finidg a overwhelming conclussion,, fell asleep getting into a dream i remember perfectly, i was somewhere in a sky, it was pink and there were shoft cluds, in which i was walking over, and there was a giant donnut with wings, al covered of glazzing ggar saying "come on, eat me" i had wings aswell and could fly after it, and i was chassing happily the donut jumping on the clouds and just when i was about to chase it and stab my fangs in it i heard a sweet femenine voice calling me from outside "Emilio... Emilio" she was saying and felt a small paw over my shoulder i oppened my eyes and looked through teh window, it was night "ohh great, i've fallen aslee and didn't wake up soon enough to ur date", i tought embarrasted and regreting taking a nap, " Emilio, listen, i don't know if you're aware of this but... Cody's not at home," she said all serious and sad "what?" i asked worried "no, he is at the hospital" she said letting a tear fall down, a huge feeling of worryiness hit my body hardly, i tnizled her tears trying to uncry them, "what's wrong, please what's so terrible?", i asked her, she cried even more and hardly tried to say, "he's got leukemia" she said, but guess what? i was dumb enough to not know what was that "he's been with his parents to my house today, you know, the vet and the doctor are the same person, don't you?, so my owner took him a look , myself too, today he was really realy sad and weak, and his skin was completely pale, i tried to call his attenytion many times, nuzzling, licking.. but nothing seemed to work and then my owner checked him, and his blood.. and said it was dirty, he had something on his blood,...", i got really afraid, my heart became smaller, "does that mean he can die?", i asked her hardly and stammering... "probably yes..." she said crying more, my mind got blocked for a second, and i asked her to follow me, i somehow remembered what  have been told about the hero of nome going under the chamember of the boiler room to get under the hospital, and i run away to the boiler room with her after me, i couldn't avoid to run faster  than anyone "wait Emilio! where are you going?!" asked arrate going after me, and s did tribu and Miki run after we both, they followed me to teh boiler room, i enchlargued my speed each step i given, i really needed to know what was going on with the boy, i finally got to the boiler room, the door seemed to be oppen the chews were not in their plae anymore, so i poked the door with my paw and tried to ook for the chamember which seemd to be a hole un the room, i came through it to get under the hospital, and so all of them did, Angie sat beside me under the specie of sewer over teh hospital, the light was yellow, the human hospital was different to the vet, it was so much hotter and had shofter beds, " the soctor was talking to cody's mother, who was blond and had green eyes, she was crying, "we can't do anything, thankfully there are enough death danger persons to ask for a sled to go to look for the blood transfuisions., but not enough interested mushers, since iy would be really dangerous going to anchorage. and we count with really little amount of tie to do it" the woman cried harder "i'm sorry" said the et/doctor, Angie cried aswell, and my own eyes been filled of tears, once i got to blink they rolled down my face i cuddled my llover, even tought she didn't know i loved her, my team mates downed their stare also sorry for what was going on.. a coupe of minutes after thinking everything that could be possible i stepped decided on the floor of the `place we were in calling everyone's attention "i my not let this happen, i'm doing something right now!", i said, Angie stared at me "what could you do?" asked Arrate, i looked at him frowning "I will look for the most famous dog of nome, the hero of nome," , "Balto?" said ngie staring at me "Yes" i said, we all hang out togetehr, Arrate, tribu and Miki went back to home, "we should go bakc o home to, it's too late to pay a visit to someone tonight," she said " i don't care i'll visit him tonight," i said to Angie, "listen honey, i know you are worried and so i am, but teh best we can do, is get a little more of information, i know we will count with enough time to get o save him, please, let's rest tonight, we'll work out better tomorrow", she said staring at my eyes "i don't think i'll be able to rest knowing this..." i said, she carressed my face with her paws, "listen, tomorrow i'll go at 7:30 am to your home, and i promise we'll pay balto a visit, okay?" she said, "... okay..." i said worried and not conviced with gving up and followed my parners back to home... i spent such a hard night that night..., my head was weighed, my eyes couldn't get closed, my mind was blewn up with mean toughts about happening bad things to Cody, i was so afraid of loosing him.. that i could not stand the idea, teh whole night been a nighhtmare t me, i could not sleep in teh whole night, rolling over my back delirating and saying random words related with death,, not pleasant to see nor hear, i waited anxious for the next day so we could go to find the hero of nome,  hours passed like days, i opened my eyes ad took a look at the clock while my partners were asleep wondering "could i go half time before better?" i asked myself narrowed and incredibly worried, when i finally been defeated by teh tiredness and could take a smallnap before Angie came through the window and woken me up "Okay, the rest are sleeping let's go ot slowly" she was saying when i was already jumping through the window "Angie, come on!" i said waiting for her in the snow, she followed me and jumped through teh window falling down over myself once again, even when i was attacked by my nerves the touch of hier fur with mine meant a huge relax and wondering feeling to me, something that seemed to really calm down my mind and make me think straight better, she got up somewhat embarrasted for the acident "i'm sorry," she said "thank yu" ai answered with a smile on my lips, "i already found the way to go t balto's boat, it's outside the town beside teh frozen river follow me!" she said uning really fastm, so fast that it's been hard for me to follow her equally, probably i was too tired to run in such a fast way, or simply sshe ws faster than i was, i don't knw, and have th efeling that will never find out, the snow was barely cold, the day awas hot, rpobably because it was morning, the sky was still orange athn teh sun coming out from the east, i took a look into teh bacground, tehre was a huge unnow brownish thing in teh background, beside some sticks placed around the river, , the idea that there in that boat could live the only chance to live for my best friend, i enchlarued my speed, almost getting to pass angela, and in factpassing her a few seconds after, we were already about to get to teh boat so i slipped in front of it,and begun howling,  heard Balto was a wolfdog so probably ould answer to a calling liek this, i put all my despior and feelimgs in my callig, so he could notice my despair in the howl  Angie and i put our sight at the top of teh boat, there was a strange canine shape cming out f this, "it's balto" i supposed, then i came closer to the boat slowly "Please! come down we really need help!" i shouted with all my forces, " What's teh matter?" he asked, his voide was really tred and, seemed o be somewhat broken, due to his age,  years didn't treat him very kind apparently, well he tried to go down to us, i walked closer to him as soon as i seen
