When they reached the fallen tree, Summer was almost completely covered in snow. If it had been snowing harder, Stunner would not have been able to find him.

Iron grabbed the younger sled dog by the scruff and pulled him onto his back. Stunner told him to be careful of his broken legs and he did his best not to hurt them more. They traveled as fast as they could back to Nome, but the weight of Summer was impairing Iron's speed, so they made it back in less time than they wanted. They gingerly placed Summer in front of the main boiler. Some of the other dogs woke up, wondering what was going on, but what they only saw was Stunner embracing Summer's body, telling him not to leave her.

"You've got to get better, Summer, you've just got to." Stunner begged. Iron looked at them, and walked away, not realy wanting to be involved anymore.

"Don't worry, I'm still with you...Stunner," Summer whispered. Stunner blinked back some tears, and smiled wide. She chuckled, happy knowing that Summer was going to survive.
