say?''

''Your sled team will be delivering mail by regular schedule.'' Yukon smiled.

''What do you mean ''Your''...?'' Dingo asked. ''Wait...''

''That's right.'' Yukon said. ''I was expelled out of the sled team.''

''It sure is good for you.'' Dingo said. ''But we have one dog less.''

''Look, I didn't do it on purpose.'' Yukon apologized. ''But you know that I'm a family dog.''

''It's okay.'' Dana said.

''Say, I see that Tayer's still with you.'' Yukon said, noticing Tayer. ''Hey, Tayer. Do you think about finding a place to live?''

''To be honest, no.'' Tayer said. ''I considered that I'll go to the wild and live there...''

''What?'' Dana asked. ''Oh no. No way, Tayer. You're not going back to the wild.''

Tayer was surprised by Dana's reaction. She sounded so motherly to him. What if she developed some parental relationship with him?

''But where am I going to go then?'' Tayer asked.

Dana looked at Dingo, as if she tried to persuade him to agree with her on any request she was going to say. Dingo noticed that and nodded, albeit reluctantly.

''I think I know where you can sleep.'' Dana said. ''Dingo, does your mom have somewhere to sleep?''

''She does.'' Dingo said, sighing. ''The shed attached to her house.''

''Is she going to allow me to be there?'' Tayer asked.

''She will.'' Dana said. ''I'm definitely sure. She's thankful for digging Dingo out.''

''Well then.'' Tayer said.

''Come on.'' Dingo said. ''We're going to my mom's.''

Later...

''Mom?'' Dingo called for his mother while Dana and Tayer were waiting patiently. ''Mom!''

Then, Jenna came out of the house. She was relieved to see her son and her mate finally outside. She also smiled upon seeing Tayer.

''Dingo, Dana! It's so nice to see you here!'' Jenna exclaimed, nuzzling Dingo. ''Hello, Tayer!''

''Hey, ma'am.'' Tayer said, blushing.

''Mom, there's something Dana and I need to ask you.'' Dingo said.

''I'm listening.'' Jenna said, preparing for possibly serious talk.

''Jenna, we've been thinking about the place for Tayer to live.'' Dana said. ''One of the suggestions was your shed.''

''And we couldn't leave him in the wild.'' Dingo said, finally showing some genuine concern.

Jenna looked at Tayer, the son of the Malamute who let her owner die, the pup who was absolutely nothing like his father, and the pup who saved her son. She couldn't live him in the wild either.

''It's alright.'' Jenna said. ''He may sleep here in the shed.''

''Thanks, Jenna.'' Dana said. ''Tayer, we found you a place to live in.''

''So, I don't have to live in the wild?'' Tayer asked.

''Of course you don't!'' Jenna said. ''Come in, Tayer.''

Tayer followed Jenna to the shed and she pushed the door open. The shed wasn't big, but it was enough for Tayer.

''Well, ma'am.'' Tayer said, feeling too embarrassed to call Jenna by name. ''Thank you.''

''You're welcome.'' Jenna said.

''Tayer, see you later.'' Dingo greeted him.

''Later.'' Tayer replied as Jenna headed into the house and Dingo and Dana headed to their.

''Dingo, we need to talk about something.'' Dana said, while they were getting closer to their house.

''Fine.'' Dingo said, entering the house with Dana.

''Now, Dingo...'' Dana said, sounding a bit serious. ''You know that Tayer is not here just because of Galena, right?''

''Yes, I know.'' Dingo said. ''I also know that he wants to know the true story of the lost medicine.''

''Correct.'' Dana said. ''And speaking of our pups, you should stop being so protective.''

Dingo looked at Dana with the look as he was trying to say ''Ah, come on, Dana!'', but knowing that the argument was going to be pointless, he just said: ''I guess you're right.''

''And I want you to let Galena be with Tayer.'' Dana said. ''And also I want you to stop commanding Kassan and Harath constantly.''

''Don't worry.'' Dingo said, patiently. ''I should let that happen.''

''Good.'' Dana said.

''But now, you listen to me.'' Dingo said. ''I will let Galena be with Tayer, but this time, only this time, I'll give one last duty to Kassan and Harath, then I won't give them duties ever again.''

''Like what?'' Dana asked, feeling like Dingo had something like a cunning plan.

''I'll tell them to ''follow'' Galena and Tayer.'' Dingo said. ''And if Galena and Tayer's time ends up well, then I'll give him my trust.''

''I certainly don't like that ''following'' idea.'' Dana said. ''But I think that you and I should give him some trust.''

Dingo nodded, as he climbed on the window and watched on his mom's house. He felt like as if he was going to be Tayer's adoptive father.

The next day...

Dingo and Dana were going to Galena's house. Ever since Dingo left the vet clinic, Galena felt like that she wasn't allowed to see Tayer again.

''Galena!'' Dingo called his daughter. ''I need to tell you something!''

And then, Galena came out of the house. She didn't seem to be fully happy to see her father again, thinking that he'd tell something mean to Tayer again.

''Yes, dad?'' Galena asked.

''I got some news for you.'' Dingo said.

''Like what?'' Galena asked, looking interested.

''Your father and I talked about Tayer.'' Dana said. ''And you're going to like it.''

''Yeah?'' Galena asked, now happier.

''We decided that you're allowed to be with Tayer.'' Dingo smiled, but not against his own will this time. ''He's in the shed of your grandma's house.''

''Really?'' Galena asked, nuzzling her parents. ''Thanks, dad! Thanks, mom!''

''No problem, sweetie.'' Dana said. ''Why don't you go and have some time with Tayer?''

Galena nodded and headed to Jenna's house. When Galena left, Dana asked: ''You're going to ask them now, aren't you?''

''Well, yeah.'' Dingo said. ''It's the last time I'll do so.''

Then he headed to Kassan and Harath and found them on the street. They didn't seem to be happy either.

''Hey, dad.'' Kassan and Harath said.

''Hey, you two.'' Dingo said. ''There's one duty for you two. Don't worry, it's the last one if it ends up well.''

''At last.'' The brothers thought in their heads.

''I want you two to follow Galena and Tayer.'' Dingo said. ''He lives in your grandma's shed. Just don't let them see you.''

''Fine.'' Kassan said, feeling more relieved that his father won't command him again.

''Later, dad.'' Harath said, also feeling relieved. The brothers left to follow their sister and her friend.

They watched from the decent distance as Galena was opening the shed of Jenna's house. Then, Tayer came out and they saw them laughing at each other in joy.

Then, Galena and Tayer ran towards the beach, being secretly followed by her brothers. Tayer couldn't imagine how happy he was. In fact, it was his first time he was that happy.

After the beach, Tayer and Galena were walking around the streets, and Galena showed him who was living where and some other stuff, much to Tayer's surprise.

''So far, so good.'' Kassan smiled.

''Well, Kassan.'' Harath said. ''Now we can go back to the old habits after this duty.''

Kassan smiled upon remembering the old habits like pranking the others missed them. Then, a young black male husky with two eye colors came.

''Hey, Nero.'' Harath said.

''Hi, guys.'' Nero greeted his cousins. ''Dad told me that Tayer lives in grandma's house.''

''True.'' Kassan said. ''He and Galena are now walking together, and we get the last duty of following them.''

''Cool.'' Nero said. ''This sounds crazy, but may I join in?''

Kassan and Harath looked at each other, unsure at first, but they nodded, knowing that nothing could go wrong. They just said: ''Sure.''

But when Nero joined in, another husky, this time young male yellow with blue eyes and a ''scar'' on his left eye showed up.

''Hi, Nova.'' Kassan said. ''What're you up to?''

''Nothing much.'' Nova
