About the Book

Paulsen brings his love and knowledge of the sport of Iditarod racing to readers in this memoir about a litter of pups destined to grow up to pull sleds across the snowy frontier--and the marvel he experiences as he watches them grow.

Book Synopsis

An experienced Iditarod racer, Gary Paulsen celebrates his lead dog and longtime companion, Cookie, in this intimate essay. Paulsen takes readers inside the kennel as Cookie's last litter of pups grow and learn to pull sleds across the snowy frontier.

Includes an author's note.

From the Back Cover

Cookie usually had puppies easily, but they were always so wonderful and special that I worried excessively each time. Considering that she had five litters of never less than eight pups and twice twelve- altogether over forty pups- this constituted a large measure of worry.
