Boris."

"I promised." He answered.

With a soulful howl, her spirit flew with the breeze down to Balto and Raider. The icy breeze turned warm, as it seemed to kiss their cold faces. Feeling her spirit, Raider’s strength was renewed. He crawled out of the den, his son glued to his side.

"I should go find Jimmy."

"Yeah, you should go home." Balto agreed.

"Why don’t you come with me?" Raider offered.

Balto laughed and shook his head. He bounded up to Boris.

"My place is with Boris."

"I understand." Raider smiled. "Boris is a great father."

"Boris is a great friend and was there for me when no one else was." Balto said, smiling lovingly at Boris. "But, you are my father."

Raider wagged his tail and leapt through the snow on his way home.

"Visit me sometime!" He called without breaking his stride.

"I will, Dad!" Balto called back.

As Raider disappeared into the snowdrifts, Balto turned to Boris. For the first time ever, Balto leaned over and licked the goose’s face.

"Vhat vas that for?" Boris laughed.

"Everything." Balto answered quietly. "Come on. Let’s go home."

The family’s bond is irreplaceable and should never be taken for granted.

Whether your father is a dog, a wolf, or even a goose, their love is a seed that’s been planted.

As it grows and blooms throughout your life, its vines will strengthen their affections.

No matter what comes between you, their feelings will not change direction.

So don’t forget to show your love; allow the world to see.

Unbroken bonds and faithful hearts; Set your emotions free.

It's been a few months since I've read Return of Father, but
it inspired me to draw a picture of Aniu. ^^ That was a very
enjoyable story and as far as I could see you had all of the
loopholes covered. Keep up the awesome work!

I read part of the first page and I can already tell you
have a professional writing style. Very well done. Let's
see if the story can match up to it.

That was so COOLIO! AWESOME!

Wow! Awesome done there I liked how Balto used his
emotion to actually talk to his father. I mean, that's gotta
take a lot of guts to talk to someone ya haven't seen in
probably years. Very good story. *favs*

Well, Balto wasn't upset with Aniu in my fic, he was upset
at Raider, and simply brought her up in his rage. Also, in
Wolf Quest, it seemed Balto wanted to talk to Aniu, but she
left before he could say anything...

Thanks for
the comment, and I'm glad you liked the poem!

NICE! I loved the poem at the end. Might I point out,
though, that Balto didn't seem upset with Aniu in "Wolf
Quest," so the idea that he thought she had abandoned him is
a bit odd.
