When we last saw Balto, he had fallen off a cliff and had
effectively been swallowed by the snow. Here he finally manages to push his way out of the snow,
though he isn't looking too good.
|
 |
He despairs. After all, he failed. He's let Rosie down. |
 |
As he lies there close to giving up, pale white feet
appear in his line of vision. |
 |
He looks up and sees a stunning white wolf, gazing down at him and totally
unperturbed by the snow storm around them. |
 |
The wolf raises its head and howls magnificently. Then looks back down at Balto,
expecting a response in kind. |
 |
Balto turns away from the gesture, as he has done to other wolves before.
The wolf looks at him contemplatively for a moment, but simply walks away. |
 |
Just then Balto spots the box of medicine, still intact at the bottom of the cliff. He
realises that there is a chance that he can get the medicine back in time. |
 |
Balto hears Boris' words in his head. "A dog cannot make this journey alone.
But maybe a wolf can." |
 |
Realising that it's only when he embraces the strength of his wolf
side that he will be able to achieve his goal, Balto lifts his head in a wolf howl that pierces the
roar of the storm.
|
 |
The white wolf, maybe even a little proud of Balto, joins him in
acknowledging the howl. |
