Nain to Nutak in Nine Days

"There was bad, bad weather. Deep snow, right up to your waist. There was ice that was kind of bad too, like broke up with the sea. Back in them days there was no phones or nothing, but my parents knew we had left Nain."

A Lifetime with Dogs

"I had a real good lead dog, she’d been there before and we thought we was just going out, just going out and you couldn’t see anything. I shouted on the leader to turn her and the leader would not turn. I told the feller, I said, “B’y, she’s going right.” She must have known where she was going."

Mary and Mooney

"The dogs saw something, and they started barking. One of them grabbed me by the coat right here [at the nape of the neck], almost choked me. I lost all my water, and she brought me home. The other one stayed behind, barking. I didn’t know what was going on. This was a bear!"
