Synopsis
The true story of Bobo, part wolf and part dog, who, in his dark, wild way, seemed more civilized than any man. He was born with the strength, the leader instinct, and the rare animal magnetism that made him the indisputable lead, the boss dog, of Nome, Alaska. So compelling was his animal intensity. so startling his acuteness, and so spectacular and uncanny his intuitions about the human beings around him, that he became the subject of a Saturday Evening Post article by Miss Carrighar which made him the most renowned husky in Alaska. Described here are Bobo’s insecure early years; his rise, to the top position among all the Eskimo dogs in Nome; his near-fatal clash with eighteen other huskies;: his long struggle and climactic fight with Spider, the most pressing rival, and his declining years, when even enfeebling age could not rob him of his dignity and sense of authority. Miss Carrighar’s book has a deeply heroic quality that moves the reader and makes him sense that she is talking of something,. almost somebody, of a rare and memorable magnitude.
