She's expecting kits, but the fierce winter threatens to starve
MOONLIGHT and her mate. NOTCH EAR can find no prey, nothing to eat.
He labors half a night to remove snow and ice covering a cache of
food stored during better times. Panting, chest heaving, he claws
at the dirt and screeches in rage when he detects the scent of
thieves. He removes the last frozen dirt used to conceal his
precious meat. The cache is empty. Coyotes have been here first.
With a fresh blizzard howling, Notch Ear journeys toward humans'
dens where he can scavenge from their refuse--if only he can cross
the car-way safely. He watches and listens through blasting snow
for an opening between speeding monsters, then bounds forward. He
can't hear the car coming, and he and the human driver see each
other too late. The human stops the wheels from rolling, but they
slide along the icy path anyway. Notch Ear churns his paws even
faster, but also slides out of control. The car sends him spinning
through the air even as Moonlight begins delivering five kits. Will
he survive to help raise his kits? Can they survive without him? In
the tradition of Jack London's Call of the Wild, Notch Ear's
Sacrifice presents the struggle for survival the way foxes
experience life. A must read
