dig out Dingo's teammates Fiona, Vincent and Rico. They managed to dig out the human and the mailbag. The sled remained un-dug.

Then, Yukom came with a rescue sled team. Saba and Josh were with him, among with John and with the doctor.

''Oh my.'' John said. ''What a disaster.''

He checked the puls of each dog. Fortunately, they were all alive, although they were all unconscious. Dingo's musher was alive, yet unconscious.

''And where is the sixth dog?'' The doctor asked.

''I think he escaped avalanche.'' John said, looking at Yukon and his snapped harness.

''Yukon?'' Saba asked, looking at Tayer. ''What is he doing here?!''

''When the avalanche struck...'' Yukon said. ''I howled to Nome, then his pups showed up. I told them to go to Nome, but they rushed to here, and I did with them.''

''And?'' Josh interrupted.

''And we found him here.'' Kassan said. ''He was digging them out desperately. We thought that he was trying to impress Galena.''

''But he wasn't.'' Harath said. ''He was visually panicking for the team in danger.''

''Can we trust you?'' Saba and Josh asked.

''You should.'' Yukon said. ''I know that I could do it by myself, but it'd take me whole day for so.''

''Please, aunt Saba.'' Galena begged. ''Uncle Yukon is telling the truth.''

Saba looked at Galena, then at Josh, then at Tayer and then at Yukon. Then she said: ''If that's true, then I shall believe you.''

''Thanks, aunt Saba.'' Galena said.

''Tayer, come with us.'' Yukon said. ''Everyone should know about this.''

''Are you sure, Yukon?'' Saba asked her older brother.

''Yes.'' Yukon confirmed.

''Come on.'' Josh said. ''We must get them to the vet clinic!''

The dogs nodded as they followed the rescue team all the way to Nome.

Meanwhile... just on the hill above, from where the avalanche began.

''Damn it!'' A brown eyed female husky, Sarah, yelled.

''Tayer ruined everything!'' Another husky, male one, Rodney, yelled.

''And he allied himself with the villains!'' The third husky, blue eyed female, Taiga said.

''Where did he come from anyways?!'' Rodney said.

''First he yells at all of us.'' Sarah counted. ''Then he runs away, thinking we're all evil.''

''Yeah.'' Rodney said. ''What're you saying, Taiga?''

But instead of response, Taiga looked at the team in distance, smiling with glee as if she had come with a more menacing plan.

''Taiga?'' Sarah asked her sister.

''Guys, can't you see this?!'' Taiga laughed in glee. ''Tayer is with his love!''

''So?!'' Rodney asked impatiently.

''So it means that he can bring the villain to mom!'' Taiga yelled in glee.

''How?!'' Sarah asked.

''Come here, I'll tell you how.'' Taiga told them.

After telling them what was she up to, Rodney and Sarah were smiling with glee upon hearing Taiga's menacing plan.

''Mom's gonna love it!'' Rodney yelled.

''We should tell her that!'' Sarah said.

''Let's go!'' Taiga said, running off to Shira, being followed by Rodney and Sarah.

Meanwhile, later, in Nome...

Dingo's musher was taken into hospital under immediate care. Dingo and his teammates were immediately taken to the vet clinic.

As soon as they arrived in Nome, ever dog knew what happened and they were panicking. They all told this to Balto's family. But no one except Saba, Josh, Yukon, Galena, Kassan and Harath knew that Tayer was rescuing them, as he took cover in the empty boiler room.

Jenna  was resting in front of the fireplace at her home. But when she heard what happened, she immediately rushed to the vet clinic. Balto joined her as soon as he heard the news.

Dingo's siblings and their mates rushed to the vet clinic. They were all awestruck by the terrible news.

In the vet clinic...

Each of the sled dog was placed into the separate bed. They were all alive, but none of them were awake.

Jenna was laying next to Dingo, hysterical. She was crying softly near her unconscious son. She didn't know if he was going to make.

''Jenna...'' Balto said. He was also softly crying, but it was less visible. ''Jenna... calm down... he's going to make it...''

''Is he...?!'' Jenna asked. ''I won't forgive myself... if he doesn't...''

''It's not your fault...'' Balto said.

''I know...'' Jenna said. ''But I could... I could... at least tell him... that I love him... before he left... a day ago...''

Balto sniffed and let the tear out as Jenna said it. He felt bad for not telling any of his pups that he loved them if they were heading into something risky.

Dingo's siblings and their mates surrounded his and Dana's bed. They were all sad, while the girls were weeping. Even Aleu was there.

John had let Aleu in, as he mistook her for a dog. And for Kenai, he intended to climb on the roof, but since John considered Kenai as a hero due to events that happened few months ago, he was let in.

''Are Dingo and Dana... Are they going to... make it...?'' Nunivat wept quietly.

''They should...'' Saba wept. ''It'd be too much... if we lose... a brother... or a sister-in-law...''

Later, Galena, Kassan and Harath came. They kept quiet for Tayer, who was sleeping in the boiler room. They laid near their parents and were weeping quietly.

''Is mom... is she going to make it...?'' Galena wept.

''Don't worry, Galena...'' Kassan comforted her. ''She will...''

''And dad... he will... too...'' Harath wept.

''Jenna?'' A voice asked, as the small red-haired girl entered. It was her owner Rosy.

''Jenna! There you are!'' Rosy said. ''Come on! Let's go home!''

But Jenna just looked at her owner with sadness and cuddled closer to Dingo's bed. Rosy was confused by that.

''Jenna?'' Rosy asked, she turned to vet. ''Mister vet, what's with Jenna?''

''I'm not sure, girl.'' John said. ''Maybe this dog is her family or something.''

''I think so.'' Rosy said. ''It's her pup, I remember having him few years ago.''

''I think she's afraid that she'll lose him.'' John said. ''I don't know what to do. Maybe you should left her with her son over the night here.''

Rosy looked at the vet, then at Jenna. She sighed, saying: ''Well, Jenna... See you tomorrow.'' And then she left the clinic.

Jenna was crying the most. In fact, she was crying all the time until she fell asleep.

The next morning...

Jenna was sleeping cuddled near the bed where Dingo was. The tears were still seen below her eyes, possibly because she had a nightmare.

But then...

''Mom...?'' A weak voice asked, causing her to wince.

She wasn't sure if she heard it in her dreams or in reality. But then again...

''Mom...?'' The voice replied and nudged Jenna, causing her to wake up.

She opened her eyes slowly and saw something that made her almost jump in surprise, and for an apparent reason.

Dingo was nudging her. He was resting his head on the edge of the basket with his eyes barely opened. Jenna couldn't believe that he was awake.

''Dingo!'' Jenna yelled happily, nuzzling him carefully. ''You're awake!''

''Yeah, mom...'' Dingo replied, smiling weakly. ''Where... where am I...?''

''You're in the vet clinic.'' Josh replied, who was walking around the other dogs.

''Cool...'' Dingo said. ''Where's Dana...?''

''She's right here.'' Kenai said, looking at her. ''She was awake two hours ago.''

''Good...'' Dingo muttered in relief. ''What about... the others...?''

''They're doing fine.'' Saba said.

''Wait a minute...'' Dingo said, raising his voice. ''Mom... Dad...? Where's Yukon...?! Where's he?!''

''I'm right here.'' Yukon said. ''I managed to avoid avalanche.''

''Well then...'' Dingo said.

''Dad?'' Kassan said, noticing his father awake. ''Galena! Harath! Come quick! Dad's awake!''

''Dad?!'' Galena and Harath rushed in excitement. They were so happy that their dad was alive.

''How're you doing...?'' Dingo asked.

''We're fine, dad.'' Harath said. ''What's with mom?''

''Your mom was awake two hours ago.'' Kenai said.

''Good to know, uncle Kenai.'' Galena said.

Then, Dana winced in her sleep and woke up again. The triplets were so happy to see their mom awake. After that, Dingo and Dana exchanged the looks happily.

''One last question...'' Dingo asked.
