Have you ever wonder how Baltos mom died?Well this is my opinon on how it happened.

  The sun was bright when i first opened my eyes.The ground was shacky i looked up at mother.She was as white as snow with the face of a wolf.She was kind and gental,she looked at me with a careing look in her eyes.Her eyes seemed to sparkle in the light of the sun.The ground was icey and cold.There was snow,pillows of white as far as i could see.It was amazing!It was spring and now i could walk on all fours.I was preety used to the cold snow and the wintery nights.I am now still to young to venture off in the woods far from mother.And my dad, i never really knew so well, he came, he went, very ofen.All i know was he was dark in color,brown, sorta like me,but darker brown.He never spoock to me as ofen as he did to mother.He usuly stared at me with a wimpy smile that wasnt very stong with love.Mother and I played alot, and spent sort off alot of time with eachother.Mother and i were ment to be.

   Mother let me wonder off alitte but not so far, as long as she could see me.She told me about hunters,pochers and humans, and how they are so dangerus to be near.I payed attenton to what she said,sometimes.She was very protective of me, and never let me stay in sight of people for long, barly in sight of them for a secent.I loved to adventure,but mostly i loved to run around like those dogs i saw pulling those humans on theses divises i dont know the names of.The dogs looked alot like me,but not mother or father.?Icould barly see them run,pulling the humans along farther and farther,because mother never let me,the people might see me she said.But i wanted to see the dogs,the people,the way the all moved at the same time.So sometimes i snuck of to peek through the bushes and watch.Usualy i got in trouble when mother found out about my "dangerus dog watching."Is what she called it.

  As i grew older i grew to love dog racing.My father left us, and never came back.We missed him, but we cared little of him,anyway.Since father left, mother had to do the hunting,for me and her.She sometimes came home tired, but always with food,yummy food.Food like Caribu,Deer,Rabits,and sometimes if we were lucky food from the humans.!It was very dangerus to go into the town,Nome,to get food,my mother told me.I always wanted to go into town with mother, but never could, it was to "dangerus" mother said.Danger,danger,danger is all she wored about,ecept for me and food.So i respected her and never left to go to the town,or off in the woods without her.

  For the first time mother let me go into Nome.I went with her everytime she went.It was so fun to sneek past the people and the dogs. I loved it!Stealing food wasnt really what we did all the time, we usualy stoll when we had to,ofcoues.Stealing, mother told me, was a bad thing so i didnt do it, only sometimes as you know.When Caribu or other animals we ate were scarce we had to go to the town.We found food in theses silver bins and on the ground, also near resturants,leftovers from the humans.The town was dangerus i learned,just like mother said.People kicked you,they throw snow at you, yelled and shouted at you, too.But thoses dogs i mentoned, the ones pulling the humans, running, racing eatchother,well they werent the dogs i pitured them to be.They were crule, mean, and snuby.All becuse i was half wolf half dog,and how mother was a wolf.They told us to go back to the forest were we belonged.It mad me sick to see them say thoses things about us,we werent any different from them,we are all dogs.But it was a good thing we saw them rarely around town.

  I im 3 mothes old now, and i enjoyed going to the town now and then,but mother always took me, i couldnt go alone.Untill that  one foggy,tragice day came.Mother and i went to the town to get food and just have fun,but there were people every where,like a big race going on.We were eating near a reasturant,just the scrapes off the floor,not hurting anyone,we were even trying not to be seen.Then a man came out, he heared us in the back and walked over.Mothers ears stood on edge, alert,very alert.She warned me to run, to run as fast as i could go.She stood in front of me and nuged me with a push,so i did just that i ran.But not my fastest,i didnt want to leave mother there alone in danger of a human ,so i stoped and hid under a pile of fire wood,and watched frantecly.

  Mother made a deep and low growl.I was as scared as i ever had been in my life!The man turned the corner and saw mother standing there,growlind, and baring her teeeth.I was breathing havy and hard.I never thought of this to happen,we had always been so quiet and sneaky,how could this happen,no the question was why did this have to happen?The man stood so still he barly moved a mousle in him,he barly breathed.Then he turned quickly and ran back inside.Mother turned to find me, then she saw me hiding.She came to me and said,"Go we must go,now,hurry!"I crawled out from the pile of wood, and took a deep and long breath.I stood in shock,blinked with amazment,also shock.We turned and started to run.Then the most breath takeing thing happented to me, and to mother.The sound of a shot gun rong through my ears. It was a sound like no other,sorta like a huge boom.Then as we ran Mother triped and fell and hit the ground,hit it hard.I tuned and skided the ground,and saw mother just lying there,as still as she had ever been.My eyes grew big with fear.Then i new what had happened.....mother had died,...died from the thing she had feared most,a human.I ran with just taking one last look at mothers body.I ran fast,tears rushing down my face.I ran to get out of the town,but there was no way out.So for 5 years i stayed in this place called Nome,the place were my mother,my only family,had died.
