Reader Reviews
This was an ok book. It was full of unusual stories, but I noticed that a few facts weren't fully correct. I was also a little disappointed to see that the author only referred to Eskimo Dogs as Malamutes. He must not have known that an aboriginal dog from Canada is also referred to as the Canadian Eskimo (Inuit) Dog or Eskimo (Inuit) Husky. Other than that, it was a fast read with some good information.
