Illustrated by
Christopher Canyon.
Adapted from an autobiographical story by environmentalist John Muir, the book relates an incident that occurred when Muir was exploring Alaska.

The typeface is difficult to read and crowded onto each page, but the detailed artwork is engaging, and dog-loving readers will enjoy the story. Bib.
