are cheerful workers, these Alaskan CANNES.
but one must know how to treat them.
1T will not do to give them more than one
meal a day. and that always when camp Is
struck after the days travel. The usual
feed is a lot of rice or meal that has been well
boiled. with some fat meat thrown In for
seasoning. This they eat with great avidity.
nor do they expect any more ~rations until the
next days close. If they were given break
fast the next morning 1t would be almost
impossible to get any work out Of them during
the day.
These native dogs have so much OF their
wild brother the wolf In their makeup that
they show but little affection toward their
master. They will serve him. but apparently
purely on q business basis, and they ignore
petting."
