The First Chinook

A famous dog was born in New Hampshire in 1917, a cross between a sled dog and a St. Bernard, and named Chinook. His owner was a man named Aurhur T. Walden; and together they set a variety of records, helped to popularize sled dog racing, and created a new breed of sled dog named after Chinook. Written in rhyming verse by David Pagel from Duluth, illustrated with colorful woodcuts by Rick Allen (also from Duluth); this small book has a good story for young dog lovers, and is also good for the cold winter season that is upon us.
