Breed of the Wolf

By George Marsh

This story of a dog among dogs in the grim North where the Hudson’s Bay Company has made history is equally for dog lovers and all who prize for its own sake a fine tale told by one who knows the land of which he writes and the drama of the struggle for mere existence there. Even old runners of the winter trails, when they heard of it, doubted the tale of how Marcel and his dog team won the fight for the life of Julie Breton. One needed to know the heart of Marcel and of Fleur, greatest of “lead dogs,” to understand how that was possible.

Supporting the sobbing girl, Pere Breton ordered: "Carry him to the Mission Jules."
