The Dachshund: An Owner's Survival Guide Book

A lot of the first half was history of Alaska -- even a section on Mammoths. He finally gets to own his dogs and he and they train each other. It's hard to read in places -- killing and skinning animals is part of life there, or it was in 1990 when the book was written. Lots about the Iditarod and the animals which are endangered or extinct. Also a lot about Eskimo culture. Good information on the Diomede Islands in the middle of the Bering Strait. Little Diomede is American and Big Diomede is Russian. Sad at the end when he has to give up his dogs, but he finds good homes for them.
