"Bye Marcie, see ya later!" Dakota barked as the tan and white dog jumped in the car. "Bye Dakota, Bye Torn!" She smiled as the car pulled away. They were going on a trip to Marce's girl's Uncles's cabin in the woods. They went there alot, because her dad and uncle were very close. The two dogs watched as the black car gave a tug, and went on. "I'll miss her." Dakota laughted, in a friendly way. "I won't miss her lil attitude problum thought." Torn scoffed. Dakota stopped in her tracks. "Torn! What an awful thing to say! Macie is very nice to us!" Dakota said. "Okay, sorry." Torn said, but he didn't mean it, he didn't like Marcie much, sence she kinda hogged Dakota, or when she wasn't there, followed him everywhere.

     "So Torn, where do you want to go today? Beach? Home?" Dakota asked. Torn relized that he had Dakota to himself, with Marcie being gone and all. "Um....how 'bout we just walk around today?" He asked. "Fine with me...Kinda sick of the beach anyways." She said. So they went on, talking and walking.

     "Dang Torn, for a new guy, you sure do know your way around a dog sled trail, you sure you diddn't do this kinda stuff in Florida?" Luke laughted. "No, but I am part husky ya know." The red hybrid smiled. "Hey, race you to that gnarled tree down close to the trail to White Montian!" Torn said. "Oh Okay! One Two....THREE go!" The grey dog smiled as they bolted off. Luke was in the lead, when he tripped.  Yonic diddn't see him and kept goinng.  But instead of getting up, and start raceing again, he stayed there.  Half covered in Snow, lieing with his chin on the ground, with was freezing cold.

He saw...Dakota... walking not to far away. She laughted hard at somthing Torn said, though he couldn't see Torn, because he was on the other side of her. He stayed in his little trance over Dakota. She kept on walking, when a large red and tan dog stopped and looked over at him.

Luke could see he was mad at somthing...Then a thought popped in his head...Dang.....she must be with him..oh and he's ticked I'm look'n at him girl. Luke strugled up to his feet and dashed off. Not to the finnish line, home.

     A few hours later Yonic got back to the house. "What the heck happed dude? Where'd you go?!!? Man I thought I was  gunna have to face Spitz for getting you lost! Don't scare be like that dude!" Yonic said half growling, half laughting.

     "Oh I tripped, and went home because I was bleeding real bad." Luke lied.  "Well where's that scratch at?" Yonic asked. "OH...um...It healed real fast." Luke lied again. But Yonic, like always, belevied him. He belived pretty much everything he was told.  He belvied every thing from Spitz was abducted by aliens, to World War 2 was started because someone took the last cookie outta the jar. Tipical Yonic.

When thier person got home, he put them in the fenced back yard. Spitz sometimes got to stay inside, but he went out and slept in his old red doghouse. Yonic, surprisingly did too, and Blue, as always, climbed on top of his 'dog-igloo' (witch was a fancy way to say dog house shaped like an igloo) and lied down for a while before goinng inside it.

     Luke slipped behind Yonic's dog house. He had dug a 'secret tunnel' up under the gate to get out at night. But everybody knew about it exept for thier owner. Spitz even knew about it, but didn't bother with it, and stayed inside all the time.

     Luke started walking through town, when he bumped into Dakota, alone. "My name's Luke." He blurted out. Then he relized 'sorry' would be a better thing to say, but Dakota just laughted. "haha ANd I'm Dakota, nice to meet you." she giggled.

     "Well then Luke I have to be getting home, but see ya around?" She asked. "Uh sure, anytime." he said in a confused voise. She laughted again, then toddled on home.Luke couldn't sleep. "Dakota...Dakota...cool name." he smiled. Finaly he was able to drift off to sleep.

     Luke woke up to a thundering storm. He could hear his owner yelling. A billizard. "Yonic!! Blue!!! Spitz!!!LLuke!!! Get inside NOW there's no time! Get inside. He looked outside his dog house. He couldn't see a thing, all he knew was the house had to be straight ahead. He trugded forward. He thought he could make out Yonic in the Storm, but it was his imagination.

     A big gust of wind blew at him. He would have been knocked over if Spitz haddn't grabbed him and rushed him forward. They all ended up in the house. The only light was comming from the candles around him in the den. The fire in the fire place felt good.He looked at the team. The floor was covered in Blankets, and towls and things were wrapped around them.

     Dakota was lost in the Storm. She was outside when the storm blew in. She was being constantly hit with hail, and rocks. She was hit in the head, and fell.  She tried not to cry, fearing tears would freeze her eyes shut.

Suddenly she foundherself near a shed. She was able to get inside for the storm. It was damp, and smelled a bit, but was better than the storm.  She licked away the snow and shook the ice from her fur. She curled up and slept.

She awoke at what she thought was noon. She stayed in the shed until the storm cleared up. When she came outside, she didn't reconize a thing. "This isn't Nome...Where am I?" Dakota asked herself.

Stepping fully out of the shed, she found herself in the yard of a small girl. "A dog!" She smiled. She wrapped her arms around her. "I always wanted a dog but Mom said no." She said. NO! I have to get back home NOW! Where am I? No!

Then her eyes wandered to a sign that read 'White Mountian'.
