description: This charming true-life tale describes a historic journey and a dog's extraordinary faithfulness and tenacity. Based on the journals of Alexander Mackenzie's 1793 voyage across Canada to the Pacific Ocean, the story tracks Our Dog, as he was known, and his determination never to let Mackenzie out of his sight. Our Dog swam next to the canoe, ran along riverbanks, and even climbed mountains. The dramatic narrative also portrays Native guides who helped Mackenzie and Our Dog reach their goal. Ann Blades's gorgeous watercolors complement the text.
