- Synopsis
- In this inspiring true-life story, readers meet a puppy whose boundless energy almost gets the best of him. But dog musher Pam Flowers sees potential in this exuberant youngster, and Douggie's intelligence and persistence ultimately earn him the position of lead dog for a dangerous 325-mile expedition to the Magnetic North Pole. Douggie's determination and Pam's direction help him handle many challenges along the way including howling winds, swirling snow, and navigating the team through jagged piles of sea ice. But even Pam doesn't know how Douggie will react to the biggest test of all: a run-in with a polar bear! Douggie's story is an uplifting tale of how patience, perseverance, and love helped a rowdy puppy channel his energy and drive into becoming a successful leader--a wonderful example for all squirmy children and their parents and teachers.
