turned to face him, "my father was wrong about you" Fritz

told him to all the dogs surprise, Balto looked stunned, "he could never have gotten through that" fritz said "you truly are a hero" Fritz told Balto smiling, "and don't let that go to your head" Boris

yelled as he hugged Balto, everyone giggled, "Balto" Kanook spoke up, Balto turned to his father, "I'm proud of you son" he told Balto, Balto smiled, Aleu finally made it through the crowd and looked

toward her father, he smiled when he noticed her and she smiled back, "hm, hm, Aleu?" a voice came from behind her, Aleu turned around to see Maska stood behind her, "I said I'd go easy on him did'nt I?"

he grinned, Aleu could'nt help but grin back, Maska walked closer to her, she glanced at him, "um...I'm glad you are'nt mad at me" he said to her trying to sound uninterested, Aleu smiled at him and he

blushed, Aleu brushed her head underneath his chin, he gulped but then did the same back, Balto grinned when he saw them, all the people had wandered into town to celebrate and the dogs were playing

amongst themselves, Balto walked to the top of a hill he was standing by and looked to the clearing sky, he noticed a cloud that appeared the shape of a wolf howling and jumped slightly when he heard

a faint howl in the distance, he heard Kanook chukle behind him and he turned to look at him, Kanook grinned and titled his toward the cloud and smiled softly, "mother" Balto whispered to himself.

End.
