husky half border collie."

Balto: " Interesting."

Laika:  "Balto, you look half wolf and half?..."

Balto: " Husky."

Laika: " It's a big world, I'm sure my daughter would like to meet you."

Jenna: " She likes wolves?"

Laika:  " *nodds* She has her reasons."

Balto: " How does after tomorrow sound?"

Laika: " Okay."

    They exchange good byes and Laika enters thedoggy door.

Laika: " Anene? What are you doing here so early?"

Anene: " I got tired, so I came home."

Laika: " Well, good night."

Anene: " *yawns* Good night."

   She rests her head on the pillow. Laika walks to her bed and sleeps.

Next day Anene is wandering around the outskirts of Nome. She sees a wrecked boat near the see in the distance.

Anene: " Cool!"

  She runs towards it, once close, she walks around it, examining. Finally, she goes up the plank to the dock and runs around sniffing the stuff, she finds a cat toy, a blue blanket and a little bowl.

Anene: " I wonder if someone lives here."

  She walks around still exploring the place. Balto came to the boat, hearing a crash from it. Boris walks up to him.

Boris: " What's that?"

Balto: " I don't know, but it came from the boat."

He sped up and trotted up the plank, seeing a mess where the boat is.

Anene kept looking around, and began sniffing the life boat. Without noticing, she knocked down a plank that stood a few things, and it fell down on her. She gasped right before it fell on her.

Balto: " Come on Boris! Help me fix this."

  He started moving the things until a tail appeared. Balto gasped, and quickly removed everything, to see Anene with her paws on her head. She opened one eye and stared at Balto.

Anene: " *gasp* You're a wolf!"

Balto: " And so are you."

 Anene slowly got up and darted away, she jumped from the deck and kept on running to town, with Balto watching from the boat.

Boris: " She's part wolf, like you."

Balto: " You think it'll happen all over again?"

Boris: " Oy, not another wolfdog to babysit."

  Balto watched as she entered town.

Balto: " Maybe she already has an owner."

Boris: " We'll see."

 They walk into the captain's deck. Anene turned a corner and entered the doggy door into her house, she panted.

Laika: " Anene, where were you? You're dirty."

 She stirred, she'd forgotten that.

Anene: " *gasp* I was in the outskirts and saw this boat, some planks fell on me and a wolf..."

   She paused, he also had a tame scent. Maybe he was a hybrid, like her.

Anene: " At least, I think it was a wolf. Maybe he was a wolfdog."

Laika: " So... you came back running before he would hurt you."

Anene: " Yeah."

Laika: " What was this wolfdog like?"

Anene: " He had almost the same markings as me, and had brown fur, with dark brown ears-"

Anene & Laika: " And yellow and red eyes."

Anene: " You've met him?"

Laika: " His name is Balto, and he wouldn't hurt you. He wouldn't even hurt a fly. He is a wolfdog, and a hero in this town. And tomorrow you're going to meet him."

Anene: " What? Mom but-"

Laika: " It was settled since yesterday."

Anene: " Mom, no. You can't... He didn't...   oh all right."

Laika: " Now go and take a bath. How do you get into these things?"

  She starts pushing Anene up the stairs.

Anene: " Mom-"

Laika: " NOW."

  Anene hurries up a bit frightened. Balto and Jenna appear from a distance, Anene has a blue ribbon with sparkles around her neck.

Anene: " Mum, what if he's still mad at me from yesterday."

Laika: " Mad at you? Honey, he doesn't even know you. Besides, you were still learning the places of Nome, you didn't even know it was where he lived."

Anene: " Great start at meeting someone."

Laika: " Shh, here they come."

  Anene slowly sneaked under the bench unnoticed.

Balto: " Hey Laika!"

Laika: " Hello Balto, Jenna."

Jenna: " Where's your daughter?"

Laika: " What? She was right here. Anene."

Anene: " Uhh, I'm not here."

Laika: " Come out of there right now."

      She slowly got out.

Anene: " *smiles sheepishly* Hi."

Balto: " Hello, we've met before. The wolf?"

Anene: " Oh uh, sorry."

Jenna: " Hello, Anene."

Laika: " Anene, this is Jenna and Balto."

Anene: " Uh, nice to meet you."

Laika: " You and Balto have something in common."

 She shows her daughter his foot prints. Anene makes a print near his. It's the same, except for the size.

Anene: " I've noticed this before."

Jenna: " Both of you are part wolf."

Balto: " I'm half wolf, and you are..."

Anene: " Lots of things, a mutt, house dog, farm dog, hybrid, actually I'm mainly just a wolf/ border collie/ husky mix."

Jenna: " so your father is a wolf."

Laika: " A handsome one for that."

Balto " He's in a pack or a loner?"

Anene & Laika: " Loner."

 Balto & Jenna chuckle.

  A little girl aproaches the dogs, she's on a wheel chair, and is accompanied by a man.

Man: " Lindsy, honestly I don't know why you're so interested in these dogs, we could buy you a whole sled team."

Lindsy: " These dogs are better. Hello Balto, here, I brought you another jerky treat."

  She reaches in her back pack and gives him a treat.

Lindsy: " You have friends? Well, I got enough for all."

  She sees a littler wolfdog behind Laika.

Lindsy: " Awww!! Who's this? A friend?"

Balto: " (thinking) Yeah, you could say that."

  She streaches her hand out with a jerky in her palm.

Man: " Careful, she could bite you. She looks part wolf."

  Anene looks up at the man, a bit offended.

Lindsy: " Don't say that, I'm sure she's fine. Here girl, eat it. It's good."

  Anene takes the offer.

Anene: " (thinking) Mmm! It's good!!"

Lindsy: " She likes it! I think I made a friend."

Man: " Yes, a friend with fleas."

Lindsy: " Nonsense. Look at her ribbon, she has a home."

Woman: " Anene, Laika, come in."

Lindsy: " Excuse me, are you the owner of this dog?"

Woman: " You mean Anene? Yes, she's part wolf too. This other dog is her mother, Laika."

Lindsy: " She is a beautiful dog."

Anene: " (thinking) You got that right."

Woman: " At least someone else thinks so."

Lindsy: " What do you mean?"

Woman: " She wasn't adopted as little, so we kept her. No one's been interested in her because of her wolfish looks."

Lindsy: " *gasp* Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Bye Balto, Jenna...   Anene."

Man: " Lindsy, it's time for your piano lessons."

Lindsy: " I know."

   They both walk off.

Woman: " Come on Anene, Laika."

   They go inside.

Laika: " You know Anene, maybe you'd get adopted if you held you're tail up like this."

Anene: " Mom, I can't do that!"...

 

Jenna: " You know her?"

Balto: " She's a good kid. Unusual since she's rich. Too bad about her disability."

Jenna: " She seemed interested in Anene, you think she'll want to buy her?"

Balto: " I doubt her parents would let her, but she would."

  They both go home.

Anene: " (narrating) Lindsy was a good kid, like Balto said. She'd come and visit me everday, and would throw a frisbee. At first I didn't understand, but Jenna explained to me that she wanted me to catch it. I then was excited for her next visit. She came, with her parents this time. I started to sniff her backpack uncontrollably, and then she took it out. I waited in a running mode, and she threw it.

  I ran as fast as I could, which was a fast speed, thanks to my wolf heritage. I ran and wanted to catch it, and jumped three feet in the air. I caught it in my mouth and ran back to Lindsy. She was impressed. I whined at her, and she scratched behind my floppy ear, before throwing it again. I did the same thing.

     Before she went back to her house, her parents examened me. They asked if she'd prefer a purebreed, but she said that I was better. I barked at that and wagged my tail."

    One night, Anene was sleeping until she woke up.

Anene: " Something's not right."

   She got out of bed, headed down stairs and through the doggy door.

Anene: " I have to go to Lindsy's house."

   She ran down the road, through the empty streets. As a cat looked in a trash can, it saw a figure running down the street. Anene ran and took a turn to the right. She didn't bark, waking up everyone wouldn't help. Finally she saw Lindsy's house in the distance. A figure entered. Anene quietly aproached and saw a man grabbing everything and putting it in a bag.

Anene: " Door's locked, I'll have to find another way around."

   She circled around and saw a window open. She climbed the trash can and entered. She got down by jumping on a table, and creeped to the next room. The man wasn't there, a noise was heard in another room, and Anene went to investigate. She saw Lindsy in her bed, scared. Her wheel chair was on the other side of the room, and so was the man. Looking clearer she saw a gun in his hand.

    Anene slowly hid under a table, Lindsy spotted her, but didn't say any thing. The man aproached the table and opened a drawer.

Theif: " Where do you keep the money? And jewelry?"

Lindsy: " In... In the... drawer at the bottom."

   He crouched down, only to find Anene growling, bearing her teeth and fur on end. She jumped at him and began to bite, making as much noise as she could. Lindsy reached for the telephone and began dialing.

Lindsy: " Hello? Yes help me, please. There's a thief in my room."

  As she gave directions to her place, Anene kept fighting. She bit and barked at the human. Then, he tried to shoot, but missed. The noise woke up everyone on the block. Lindsy's parents came running to the room, to find Lindsy scared to the point where she was shivering and a theif being attacked by Anene.

   They ran to Lindsy and got her wheel chair. Finally the man got Anene off, and threw her. Anene
