- Maybe there's some kind of special technique? - said Ethan, falling on the grass and often breathing, - I train every day, but it's still hard for me to keep up with everyone in the sled.
- Yes, move your legs over and over again, and very quickly - Shikota answered laughing, sitting down next to the young dog.
- You're a good runner, very good... Only slowly! - wagging her tail funny and laughing a little bit, Jenny said. She went around her friends and sat in front of them.
- I can't catch up with him, - Ethan complained, pointing his paw at the striped dog. - Let Shikota run slower. Why are you running so fast? - He asked his friend.
- You just need to train more, - you recently joined our mail team, you need time. Jenny tilted her head and paw touched the nose of the black dog. Ethan just rolled his eyes and took a deep breath.

- Hey, kid! Let's have 30 more laps and tonight we'll fall asleep like babies! -Shikota said, turning toward the complaining dog.
- Another half circle and I will fall asleep forever, - Ethan got a little bit of a grumpy and sat down, continuing to mumble under his nose. The young dog did not understand that his comrades train since childhood and achieve such good physical shape only by persistent training. Ethan wanted everything at once. He was only in the third couple, where people always put young dogs for training. But that's not what he wanted. And in this respect he was jealous of Shikota, because he was the leader of the dog sled.
- I'd outrun you even if I was running backwards, - Jenny said laughing. She was a swing dog and ran in the second pair of dog sleds.

- You have to run just to stay where you are. And to get somewhere, you have to run twice as fast, - interrupted her striped, - We are mail dogs and we must run well. If people ask for it, we'll go anywhere. Each of these letters is filled with someone's soul and heart. And that’s why... - Shikota lowered the tone of his voice, - You need to practice more, - He leaned a little towards Ethan and said it looking into his eyes.
- Running also makes you feel good about yourself! When you run with stolen sausages from the fat guy and so happy at heart! - suddenly says jenny Jenny and all the dogs start laughing.

"And if I only knew what was going to happen, I'd appreciate every moment with them. I just always thought we still had time" - Shikota
