Truely Just Another Masterpiece from Jim

Thrilling, discriptive, and captivating. This is Snow Dog! This book is my second favorite Kjelgaard (next to Wild Trek of course). This is truley on of his greatest. It brings you into the wilderness along with Link Stevens, Queen;Links other dogs Yuke, Kena, Lud, and Tibby;and the famous son of Queen,Chiri.In this stirring tale you will find murderous wolves,bull moose,and a huge grizzly bear. When Queen runs from Link to have her puppies in piece she finds it very hard to raise puppies in the wilderness. Her masked faced puppy,later to become the powerfull snow dog Chiri,is the only one to survive the black wolf's attack. The puppy learns the wilderness and grows to be a huge wild dog. But one day that all changed. Read this thrilling story to find out the history behind the dog of Wild Trek, and one dog's grudge on a certain black wolf who killed his mother and brothers.

Wonderful book!

I really enjoyed the book Snow Dog, it was an excellent book about a dog/wolf pup who witnesses his mothers and siblings death by the black wolf. He knows that one day soon he will have to face the black wolf and only one of them will come out alive.

It was a great book!

Snow Dog was a wonderful story of a dog's loyalty and courage in his final battle with his long-time arch enemy, the Black Wolf. Kjelgaard was at his peak when he wrote of the inspiring life and love of Link Stevens and Chiri.
