The town of Anchorage was a town in lower Alaska. It was it's largest city.

Dogs would go to this city, and never leave. It was a rail city, that connected many towns in Alaska.

Four years earlier a dog had been Injured in a sledding accident. The rest of the team had been killed, including his musher. The lead dog, a husky named Champ, had been spared. However he had no memory of the past seven years of his life. He wandered for hours In the snow before being found by a human. The human had brought him to Anchorage, where he had kept him as a pet.

He had lived there for about four years. He padded out of the house, and over to the newsstand, to see what was going on, as he did every morning.

When he got there a large crowd had gathered. He padded his way through the crowd to see the headlines.

Balto brings anti-toxin to Nome

Suddenly something clicked in Champs mind. He turned to another dog.

"Say, who is this Balto guy?"

"He's a half breed that brought the medicine back to Nome."

"Half breed?"

"Yeah you know. Part wolf, part dog."

The other dog looked at the picture of Balto on the front of the paper.

"Oh my god." His jaw dropped.

"What is it?"

"I think that's my son."

The other dog looked at him strangely. "Uh Champ, since when did you have a son?"

"I don't think I do, it's just he looks… well he looks like me."

The other dog laughed. "Look Champ, dogs are a dime a dozen. Just because he looks like you doesn't mean he's your son."

Champ sighed. "There's just something else. I remember him from somewhere."

"Well maybe you should ask him. I heard they're sending mail out to him from fans."

"Fans?"

"This guy's a hero now. If he is your son you got a lot to be proud of."

And so Champ sent a message for Balto to Nome.

Far away in the town of Nome, Balto was trying to get some peace and quiet.

"You'd think a person could at least get some privacy after saving a town."

He padded onto the boat. He had been given a medal for his bravery in the serum run. Now he was almost blind because of all the flashbulbs.

"Get used to zis boychik. It should last about a year." Boris said.

Balto sighed. "Well at least Nome is getting some publicity."

"Vell Balto you have fan mail."

"What the hell is fan mail?"

"It is mail you get from fans."

"I'm a dog, how am I supposed to read it?"

"I do not try to understand zese people. I just deal vith zem." Boris waddled away.

After flipping through some letters that were written in human, He came across a strange looking package.

He opened it. It was an old chewed up dog bone. He looked at an inscription on it. "From Champ." He said aloud. He gasped. "My dad's name was Champ."

He looked at where the package was from. Anchorage.

Then he noticed another package. It was dirty looking, and looked like it had been wrapped in a hurry.

He opened it. Inside was a bit of red cloth. He recognized it immediately. It was a part of Jenna's bandana.

There was a letter. It had been written so illegibly that Balto knew a dog must have wrote it. He read what it said.

Dear Balto,

I have written this to tell you that I would love to kill you.

And that's just what I'm going to do. You destroyed my life, and soon I will take yours. Then I'll come back for everyone you love. And don't think I don't know who those people are. I have reached my breaking point, and the only way I can redeem myself is by killing you. See you soon.
