Snow Dog (Bantam Skylark Book)
The steel-gray Husky Chiri was just a puppy when he watched the  black wolf kill his mother and two brothers. Left alone inthe  snow-covered land oof the coyote, caribou, and gizzly, Chiri learned to  fend for himself, to hunt and survive by his keen instinct and natural  intelligence. Now full-grown and full of courage and cunning, Chiri  forms a tentative bond with trapper Link Stevens, the only human he's  ever learned to trust. But the Husky knows that one day soon he will  have to face the black wolf again--and this time only one of them will  survive.
