Connect the dots

Here are a few random pieces I've been thinking about of late. If there are connections, I will leave it to you to make them.

"And so to Storm ... Storm was almost a classic sled dog. He looked much like a brindle wolf, with beautifully slanted eyes. He had a great reach to his front legs and a thick mane and a straight back. In many ways he was still very primitive. but he liked people a great deal and would lean against your leg to be petted.

He pulled. Of course they all pull. It is genetic, so old a code or command that it has become part of what sled dogs are; the fiber of their very being. When they are six months old you harness them and they pull. There is no training necessary. It just is. But some pull better than others. Storm pulled from somewhere within himself, from some primitive core so strong that he could not not pull, even if he wanted to." ~ Gary Paulsen
