Most Likely to Find Her: roaming the streets of Nome with the other dogs.  As much as she loves her home and her humans, she loves being outside.

Chance moved to Nome, Alaska with her human family.  Upon arriving, she was ecstatic to hear the stories of Balto and his heroic deeds and upon seeing him for the first time, she instantly fell in love with him (not knowing he was Jenna's mate at the time).
When she soon learned Jenna was with Balto, she quickly backed off in her pursuit to win Balto's heart, respecting Jenna as a friend.  A little while later, she met a champion Alaskan husky named Ranger, who she later fell for.

Chance wants almost nothing more than to be a sled dog, but most of the time she is rejected by other humans because of her apperance.  Not having many German Shepherds in Nome, Chance is often believed to be part wolf.
Despite the claims against her, she has no problem with wolves and she hates when others degrade them.  She would have no problem is she were part wolf, even if it meant a harder time having others accept her and letting her work as a sled dog.

Chance is much like Jenna in that she sees others for who they are instead of judging them by their breed.  When she meets Ranger, she quickly learns he hides behind a mask of overconfidence, and soon she tries to help him change his ways and help him find the life he's always wanted--one where he doesn't feel he has to be the best at everything to be loved.
