Description: A wolf-dog instinctively travels 2000 miles from Washington to Alaska to return to the boy who once saved his life. Swiftly paced, this is the dramatic story of Kavik, a one-quarter-wolf sled dog raised to be a tough, smart, mean champion. After being rescued by a boy following a plane crash, Kavik experiences love and gentleness for the first time, and when his owner reclaims him, the devoted dog sets out on a two-thousand-mile journey to return to his rescuer.
