Having a puppy of our very
own can be a lot of fun. But, puppies aren’t trained, it's up to
the owner to teach obedience. Jake is learning the hard-way that his
new puppy, Kamik, is a big handful. Jake visits his grandfather and
Kamik runs, jumps, and tracks his wet paw prints everywhere. Jake
calls to him, but he just doesn't listen. Jake's grandfather,
Ataatasiaq, tells him stories about how grandmother and the other
women of their small village called Inuit, cared for and trained many
puppies to pull the dog sleds. According to Ataatasiaq, “I remember
my own grandmother speaking to the puppies as she stretched their
muscles, telling them to be strong, ambitious, and obedient to their
masters. Dogs can understand more of what we say then you can
imagine. Your grandmother loved her dogs. She raised them in a
similar way to raising a child.” Jake soon understands and imagines
Kamik being the best sled dog ever. Young readers will enjoy this
story and learn plenty about dogs who have pulled sleds and saved
their owners from near death.
Uluadluak shares a story
that was inspired by the real-life collections of an elder from
Arviat, Nunavut, this book lovingly recreates the traditional
dog-rearing practices that prevailed when Inuit relied on dogs for
transportation and survival. Young readers will have fun reading and
learning about this unique culture. Colorful illustrations depict the
lifestyle of Inuit.
My grandson loves dogs! I know he would enjoy this story! Thank you!
