One stormy winter night, mysterious whimpering alarmed Mom. When Dad opened the door, he found a shivering puppy on our snow-whipped porch. The puppy grew to be a large, authoritative dog who appointed himself to guard us kids from roads, bonfires, outhouse holes, spankings, and other perilous things. From stories of this marvelous guardian of my childhood, these this collection moves to Alaska and the escapades of my willful huskies. Serious dog trainers take warning: Reading these stories might trigger apoplexy. This book is for dog-lovers, not dog trainers. In these pages, readers will taste a bit of my life in Alaska while I worry about, laugh at, love, and mourn my huskies as they romp through the book getting caught in traps, ravaging ski parkas, killing dog beds; tangling with geese and mules; confronting a grizzly bear; dealing with a bull, running off with their sled, escaping pens, almost getting me reported to the Humane Society, and disappearing in an isolated British Columbia forest.
