Books with title Snow Dog

The steel-gray Husky Chiri was just a puppy when he watched the black wolf kill his mother and two brothers. Left alone inthe snow-covered land oof the coyote, caribou, and gizzly, Chiri learned to fend for himself, to hunt and survive by his keen instinct and natural intelligence. Now full-grown and full of courage and cunning, Chiri forms a tentative bond with trapper Link Stevens, the only human he's ever learned to trust. But the Husky knows that one day soon he will have to face the black wolf again--and this time only one of them will survive.

Born in the wilderness, the puppy had to learn the ways of survival like any other wild thing. Staghound and Husky ancestors had given him speed and stamina, but it was his own courage and intelligence that brought him through when a weaker dog would have perished. He learned to hunt, to find shelter, to protect himself from his enemies. As he grew in strength and sagacity, he came to understand the ways of the forest creatures, from rabbits to grizzlies. And his trail began to cross and recross that of the black wolf, whom he hated, and that of the man, whom he did not understand, until the day when all three met in a breathless climax. A gripping story, so true to wild animal life that you live it yourself.

"IT'S GOING TO BE WOOF-ONDERFUL!" There is nothing Nicky wants more in the world than a dog to play with. But Mum and Dad don't want a dog.
