Rex was the right choice.
In the crowd of humans, Rex squeezed past them and saw the pilot. He was tall and had light brown hair. He seemed like a nice man to Rex, but maybe this guy really wanted his son’s job. The crowd soon reduced to nothing as the pilot walked away. Rex walked up to the plane, wandering what it held inside. He jumped onto the wing and sniffed the inside. He felt something on his head that made him jump off.
‘ Hey boy. You like my plane, don’t ya? I’m Jacob,’ He said as Rex looked up at him. He didn’t want Jacob to see his scar, but it was too late. ‘ You’re the dog that everyone talks about, other than Balto. The miracle dog. That must’ve of some fight you were in to get that scar. I used to have a dog back in White Mountain, I named him Joseph.’
That name made Rex quirk. Did Jacob own Soul’s brother?
‘ He once fought his wolf that attacked the town. I thought that he would be a goner, but he survived. There hasn’t been any wolf attacks since. He was like you,’ Jacob continued. He did own Joseph! Soul would be so pleased that her brother was alive. ‘But he went missing one day. He took is sisters too. Their mother’s owner said that they had another sibling that disappeared during the wolf attack. I’ve been searching for my dog in this plane ever since. I’m hoping to find their lost sibling too.’
Rex then ran off. Jacob called after him, but he didn’t respond. Minutes later he came back with Soul. Jacob was still standing by the plane waiting for Rex.
‘ The pilot used to own your brother. He’s been looking for you and Joseph since he ran off. If he sees you, then he’ll see the resemblance and know that you and Joseph are related.’ Rex said as he walked beside Soul.
‘ What if it’s not him? Any dog can be called Joseph.’ Soul replied as they neared the plane.
‘ It will be him. I promise. If it isn’t then, I’ll do something girly with you.’ Rex said.
‘ I don’t even like doing girly stuff. That’s what happens when you’re half wolf.’ Soul replied. She wasn’t sure about Jacob, but then, it could be a chance to find out what her sibling had been doing since she left. Soul jumped onto the wing as Rex sat beside Jacob.
‘ Is this Soul?’ Jacob asked. Rex nodded his head as Jacob stroked Soul. ‘ She’s really beautiful. You don’t see many white huskies these days. There’re either black or mixed. Wait a second, you’ve got the same eyes as my dog.’
‘ Everyone in my family has. Except Phoenix and Maria.’ Soul thought.
‘ You’re the dog I’ve been looking for! I knew that I’d find you one day. You should know, your brother is one good dog.’ Jacob said. Soul jumped off the wing and let Jacob stroke and hug her.
‘ Told you.’ Rex whispered.
‘ Thanks Rex. I know my brother’s alive and so are my sisters unfortunately.’ Soul replied. The hugging and stroking ceased and Jacob walked towards a hotel. Rex and Soul walked back to their houses. Soul was happy that she knew that Joseph was alive and because of that, Rex was too.
