From the beginning one puppy was different from the rest. He was big and black, his brother and sisters small and gray. While the others lay snuggled against their mother, this puppy wiggled constantly.

That pup s sure full of energy, thought Pam, the musher who owned the dogs.
Even before he could open his eyes, the black puppy learned to recognize Pam s scent and to love the gentle stroke of her hand.
