The sound of paws and snow crunching reached her ears. But she pushed harder, not even straining to do so. She ran faster then a speeding bullet. The sound of paws still followed her.

He stud in the shadows of the town watching them praise and worship that half-breed. He snarled as she nuzzled him. Getting that wolf stank over her gorgeous red fur. It was now over, he had nothing here in Nome. Balto had won the town and the most beautiful girl's heart. With one last look at the now happy couple, he turned and fled. For three days he traveled till he came across a sunny small town. Dogs of different, colors, shapes and sizes were walking about. As he looked his stomach started to rumble. With sigh he walked in. Many eyes were on him as he continued his trek for food a loud scream ran through the air. He looked and saw many dogs with wide eyes.

"Its Steele! Run!"

Just like that the dogs scrambled to get away. He growled at their retreating forms. He turned to come nose to nose with a white husky. She had medium brown eyes, a white tuff that curls between her eyes and ears is wearing a brown collar with a sliver hoop.

"Aren't you going to run?"

The husky smirked, "Should I?"

"You tell me"

She chuckled, "What's your name?"

He raised his eye brow, "You don't know who I am?"

"If I did, I wouldn't be asking. Now what's your name?"

"Steele"

"Fine name for a fine dog"

"That's my line!"

She smirked as her brown eyes glistened, "Oh really. But you don't know my name"

"What is it?"

"Fine way of asking for a lady's name. But I'll tell you any way. My name is Jewelz"

Steele smiled, "A pretty name for a pretty lady"

Jewelz giggled, "Got anywhere to go, Steele?"

The large black and white husky shook his head.

"Well, follow me. My masters will love to have another dog"

Steele walked with the white husky by her side. As they past dogs they gave the duo a nasty, disgusted looks. But Jewelz ignored them and continued home.

"So...where is actually am I?"

"Fairbanks, the sunniest and warmest place in Alaska"

Steele nodded and continued to follow the pretty husky through the concreak streets. They soon came to a large house with a fence surrounded it. Jewelz used her black nose to push opened the gate. They walked through the side to the backyard where a doggy-door in the back door.

"Stay here" Jewelz whispered before walking off

Steele sat where he was for a few minutes before barking reached his ears. Not long after Jewelz came back with a tall light skinned man with black hair and blue eyes.

"Jewelz, you brought a friend home" he went to pet Steele's head

Steele licked the man's hand before looking at Jewelz who was smiling at him.

"Handsome and strong. You can do us some good. He can stay, got to tell Carlos"

With that he left the two dogs alone.

"Welcome home. Follow me and I'll show you around"

Steele said nothing and followed his new house mate. They went through all the rooms but one.

"What's this?"

Jewelz smiled, "That's for another day. Come on, let's rest. I'll show you the dog house"

Steele looked at the door that stud in his way. He noticed it has a doggy-door. He smiled, I'll fine out what's on the other side.

"Steele!"

With a chuckled he headed down stairs towards the back door.
