Born to Pull: The Glory of Sled Dogs
by Bob Cary
illustrations by Gail de Marcken
Born to Pull explains the world of dog sledding with great information and beautiful artwork. Otherwise impassable distances of snow and ice, guiding them home through trackless wilderness, these burly, strong dogs were the lifeblood of the northern winter world. Today, from races like the famed Iditarod and the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon to sled dog tours, people are rediscovering the joy of mushing. Born to Pull is a celebration of sled dogs who love to run in cold and snowy Minnesota, including lively stories from veteran mushers, insider information on dog care and training, and affectionate watercolor illustrations that make the dogs come to life on the pages.
