He hardened his thews and did his work without whimper. He ate his fish in gratitude, or bore his hunger without complaint. Among his own breed he loved and battled, and sang his song of content to the northern moon, } Saved Master's Life | Many times, as lead dog, he pilot Scotty Allen to victory in the gru elling Nome sweepstakes.
