Choice
Enli had just completed his training, and it was time for him to choose his own sled dogs. "What makes a good sled dog"? he thought, regarding the variety of dogs being presented for sale, "Strength? Temperament? Speed?" Not all dogs are created equal, his mentor had told him. Some were quick to follow orders and show affection, but just as quick to tire out and give up. Others were impervious to wind and ice, but also to commands and affection. Many dog sledders chose their dogs on the basis of strength and speed, but Enli... he simply loved dogs.
