“Everywhere I went, it was Balto this and Balto that. Truth to tell, I knew Balto well enough. He was in my kennel. He was owned, bred, raised, and trained by Sepp, same as I was.

If the smell was too strong, I knew that the ice was thin and probably not strong enough to hold us. Quite ice was solid and steady. but if it groaned or hissed, that meant it was breaking apart and dangerous. It was talking to me. It was saying, Watch out, little dog! Stay away!
