Sled dogs are a mysterious breed, unrelentingly independent. At play,

to others of their species. Investigate how the fierce bond between musher

power on the trail. Learn how these roles occasionally reverse when a
"green" musher learns to trust a sled dog's experience and innate
pulling instinct. "Born to Pull" is written by famed North Woods
author Bob Cary (Rootbeer Lady, Tales from Jackpine Bob). Each chapter
features expert insight into dog sled team dynamics that complement Bob's
lively stories about life on the trail. These narratives are vividly brought
to life with stunning illustrations by northern watercolor artist Gail
de Marcken who spent several months traveling with dog sled teams. Inside
these pages, you'll learn everything you always wanted to know about sled
dogs and their sport! Ages 9-14. 95 pgs
