Douggie: The Playful Pup Who Became a Sled Dog Hero is a beautifully written children's storybook geared for ages five years and older. This true story teaches the qualities of determination and devotion. The reader will enjoy the dangerous and suspenseful journey.
Douggie is a good-natured puppy with more mischief and energy than the other puppies in his litter. But he and his siblings are destined to be trained as sled dogs. Will Douggie make the cut? Does he have the concentration needed to make the team, or will he always be too playful for his own good? This is something that dog musher Pam Flowers must decide. Sled dogs encounter many obstacles, including wild animals and dangerous terrain. Does Douggie have what it takes to make a 325-mile trek to the Magnetic North Pole?
Anyone with small children will enjoy this book. Artwork always makes up a large portion of a story, and this book will not let you down. My children really enjoyed it. It is worth the investment.
