Ask Tara

[KingKovu44]

His father turned him into what he is now.

[TheLionQueen]

What kind of wolf were your ancestors?

[KingKovu44]

I don't have wolf in me. I'm a purebred Alaskan Malamute.

[TheLionQueen]

Ok sure -sarcastic-
Did you pull a sled?

[KingKovu44]

Yes.

[NalaKiaraTani]

ooooh I love your name! (is my name) so how do you pronounce it? "Terra", or "tar-uh"?

[KingKovu44]

I pronounce it "Terra".

[NalaKiaraTani]

Awesome! Same. Did anything happen within your family happen that caused Steele to become bad? Not trying to dish on your son or anything but was there some kind of example set to make him want to be underhanded?

[KingKovu44]

Here's the sad but true story. His father, Skia, was a fairly arrogant dog and pushed Steele, rather harshly, I might add, to be the best he could be and told him that being underhanded was acceptable. I tried to tell Steele different, but he would not listen. Skia also drove it into his head that purebreds were better than mixed-breeds. It was at that time that the young Balto came to Nome. Steele began to pick on him, egged on by Jenna's sister Ice. Balto bit Steele in self-defense and Skia went ballistic afterwards, yelling at him and telling him that he needed to train harder. Steele then became determined to be a great sled dog and succeeded, gradually becoming what he is today.

That is a really sad story. Do you ever think that Steele might turn around and do something honorable someday?
