man had his gun. She tried to run away until she heard the shot, felt the sting through her body, and then saw nothing.

                                            Ch. 4 Boris

       Balto was still on the boat awaiting the arrival of his mother who would never come. He looked up to see formations of geese flying south.

        "It must be winter." he thought

       Then Balto heard something right next to the boat.

        "Hey, you think you can just leave me? well good riddance." it said

      Balto looked over to see a goose yelling up at the sky.

        "Who are you." Balto asked

        "What? Oh I'm uh Boris." he said

        "That's a wierd name, I'm Balto." Balto exclaimed

        "Speaking of wierd." he whispered then said "Well Baltowhat are you doing here?"

        "My mom put me here and told me to stay put and that she would be back soon, but she's not here yet." Balto said

        "Well Boychick, you need company?" asked Boris "I have nowhere else to go."

        "I guess." Balto said

      So Boris hopped on the boat and started talking about his homeland, Russia, and that he comes to Nome during the Summer and spring. And then he told Balto about two annoying bears he met awhile back.

         "What about you kiddo?" Boris asked 

       Balto told Boris about the wolf pack and the bear attack and his missing siblings and about how his mother brought him there and so forth.

         "Don't worry kiddo." said Boris "I'll take care of you, you have nothing to worry about."

                                          3 Years later

        Baltohad hardly ever left the boat with Boris ever since his mom left him off there. S this day he decided to go into town and see what there is to see. He told Boris that he'd be back later and then ran into town.

        When he got there he could see many dogs and humans roaming the streets. He walked around until suddenly he bumped into another dog.

          "Watch where you're goind lobo." said a black and white dog.

        The dog then looked at Balto and sniffed him.

          "You look like a wolf." said the dog. 

          "Well, my mom was a wolf but my dad wasn't." Balto said

          "So you're a mutt." said the dog

          "Well I..." Balto began

          "Get out of my way wolf dog!" said the dog

          "Wait what's your name?" asked Balto

          "Steele, and I don't even want to know your name Lobo." he said.

         Balto started to walk around more and keep exploring when he saw another dog. She was a beautiful red and white husky. Balto just watched her until she saw him. Balto could feel himself blush and then he took a few steps back.

          "Who are you?" she asked

          "Uh I'm Balto." he said

          "Well I'm Jenna and I also have to go now." she said

        And with that she turned around and left.

         Balto sprinted home to tell Boris about his day. When he got there he told Boris about everything from Steele to Jenna.

          "Ah, this Jenna girl, is she pretty?" asked Boris

          "Beautiful!" Balto said

          "I smell love in the air." Boris said

          "Well...she's..." Balto began

          "Go talk to her." Boris demanded

          "What?" Balto asked "What would I say?"

          "Just be the nice, charming pup you are and become friends with her."Boris said

          "I... I guess I could try." Balto said

           "Yes now go...GO!" Boris demanded

          Then Balto took off towards Nome. When he got there he started to look for Jenna.Then he heard a voice behind him.

            "Who are you looking for?" the voice said

          Balto turned around to see Jenna.

            "Jenna, hi... uh... how are you?" Balto said

            "Are you looking for me?" she asked

            "Uh... kinda." Balto said

            "For what?" she asked

            "Just to talk." Balto exclaimed "I need to meet dogs around here."

            "So I heard you're a wolf dog." Jenna announced

            "Steele." Balto thought

            "Alot of dog don't like it, but I really don't care." Jenna said

            "Really, you don't care?" Balto asked

            "I don't see what's so bad about it, you can't help it." Jenna said

            "Great." Balto said

            "So I'll see you around?" Jenna asked

            "Yah." Balto said "see you."

           Then Balto happily sprinted home. When he got there he told Boris that she wanted to see him again.

             "Good Balto." Boris said "Now you better get to bed, there is a dog race tomorrow you might not want to miss."

            So then Balto and Boris went to sleep.
