When he climbed over the hill heading north, the fog seemed to lift for a minute and Nils saw familiar shapes: tall things, like his master standing! Except as he studied them from afar, they did not move. They were closer to the buildings back home; sign posts maybe, or walls?
He was so focused on these shapes that he failed to notice the all-too-obvious scents of other dogs. Maybe that was partly why he felt so comfortable cantering through the snow? It felt like he was returning home!
He came to a sliding, lurching halt by one crooked stone dusted with snow. Here he shoved his face in to the base of it and marched eagerly in circles, studying the smells, even scratching the base as if he might unearth treasure! He left faint claw marks against the stone but did very little damage to the frozen soil.
