Imagining how his new puppy will become a fast and strong sled dog, young Jake becomes discouraged when he discovers that the puppy's training involves more work than Jake anticipated, but a helpful talk with his experienced grandfather soon offers Jake some much-needed encouragement. - Baker & Taylor
Jake brings his new puppy, Kamik, to meet his grandfather and learns about his family's history of dog training. - Independent Publishing Group
When Jake finally gets a puppy to call his own, all he can think about is the fast, strong sled dog that his puppy will become. But Kamik is far from an obedient sled dog. He won't listen, he tracks mud all over the house, and he's a lot more work than Jake ever thought a puppy could be! But after a visit with his grandfather, who raised many puppies of his own while living out on the land, Jake learns that Inuit have been raising puppies just like Kamik to be obedient, resourceful, helpful sled dogs for generations.
Inspired by the real-life recollections of an elder from Arviat, Nunavut, this book lovingly recreates the traditional dog-rearing practices that prevailed when Inuit relied on dogs for transportation and survival. - Ingram Publishing Services
